Thought some of the big kids would enjoy this including myself! Great video IMO. I'm looking at the traxxes Spartan just to keep around for some good fun! But check this one!

I have a Spartan. Actually had it out yesterday, and blew the motor and esc lol

Do you like it? Is it worth the money or just like the big boats money pits...lol

Its fun. I'd consider it a easy entry level boat with decent hardware. Its a light plastic hull, not like some of the true glass hulls that are heavier and more expensive.

I had big lipo packs in mine. Only reason I think mine took a dump this weekend, was I hadn't used it since last fall. I was at our lake house, and when I put it back in its box, I had meant to clean it, lube it, etc. Well, kinda forgot about that part and it sat on a shelf in the garage all winter, with a little water in the hull. The tiny bearing in the electric motor came apart, and locked the motor up.

So now, rather than replace it with the stock motor and esc, i'll be upgrading to better stuff.

With stock batteries they are kinda lame. But good to learn on. Then stick some lipo packs in, and its like going from stock 454 mags to blown 1000's lol

Haha I figured with light weight the LS engines should work nice! Haha the spartan was my sought after boat. Still might be. Team blue of course! Haha I have a chrome illusion painted Villian traxxes. Another fun boat. We used big pop sickle sticks as trim tabs! Helped out a lot! Ingenuity at its best!

To make it truly a pain in the azz money pit they should put these in it...

Oh man I've seen those things! Bada$$! Hate to flip the boat though and hydro lock that thing up!

That was well done. The dude sitting in the boat with a transmitter in his hand reminds me of me...
