- Traxxas Spartan RC speed boat unboxing and test, 52 mph 6s lipo
♥ Don't miss a thing! SUBSCRIBE!! Click the link! / @ovalrc
This Traxxas Spartan RC speed boat is awesome! The RC boat went 35 mph on 2 2s lipo batteries. The GPS tested top speed with 2 3s lipo batteries was 52 mph. It was crazy fun trying to harness the 6s power with the 2 3s lipo batteries. The electronics are waterproof. Get out and get yourself one of these awesome boats. I want to say thank you to Florian's World of RC for their help in prepping this boat for the lake.

If the goal of this video was to make me want one... Mission accomplished!
I've wanted some of this kind of stuff but 😥 it is so expinsive, only kind of people lot of cash can buy
I’m dead 😂
@@khingbandiala37 check out the Vector sr80 I bought that one it's fairly cheap and it's a absolute monster!
Try the m41. It seems to be more stable
The cooling water is moved by pressure at the rudder inlet, it then flows to ESC and then flows around the motor via water jacket, then out the exit port. No pump involved.
Your rc boat is faster than my 520hp boat 😅
No😐
@@melchormalindao486 actually yeah that could be possible, weight plays a big factor. Size does aswell. pretty simple ngl.
@@NotJaddy yeah🙂
Totally possible….may not handle the chop, but RC is no joke lol
Cap
I’ve always wanted to try the deep haul, but I haven’t had the chance and I do own the M41 Snap-on and it’s actually really stable and extremely fast also !! Good choice on you purchase ! Keep up the Great Work and Vids, Stay and Play Safe !! 👍✌️
I'm assuming you know this but I'm going to tell you anyways just in case you dont. It is HIGHLY recommended to get yourself some nylon break away screws. You can get a package of 5 for $8 from Horizon Hobbies, part # PRB285000. Traxxas doesn't carry them. The reason I recommend them so highly is because if you snag your rudder off of something in the water, it will either break your rudder mount off of the hull completely or mangle your rudder. The break away screw each costing $1.60 will save you a lot of heartache. Definitely, definitely worth purchasing before even first run, but never to late to purchase period. As far as the plastic prop goes, you will be fine running a Hot Racing prop or something similar. My buddy has the M41 and he broke both props (the one on the boat and the spare) in 3 runs. When he got his boat, I gave him one of my spare break away screws and last weekend that exact screw literally saved his boat from destruction. He caught a log that was floating just below the surface and the break away screw did it's job.
Lane Waite is this on the rudder itself or the hull?
You are SO right! I did this two years ago and it saved me twice. A small step prevented disaster. SO SMART!
what you mean? be
more pacific
@@NIP28 *specific* not pacific, you knob
@@mikes1639 😂
Absolutely need one of these and I live on a mountain
one thing you should do is remove the drive cable and lube the cable. I didnt do this and it burnt up the cable housing
Awesome,
Not a fan of plastic prop, and you might want to take the advice of break away screws on the rudder, and transom mount. Looks like it's got some Power though. Awesome
i’ve always had traxxas r/c vehicles most of my adult life. got my step dad into them too. he bought that exact boat and passed away before ever trying it out. he was a huge fast boat guy. he built a 1500 hp pickle fork 1976 hondo drag boat just for fun on the lake. it was a monster. i sold it when he passed cause i would’ve killed myself. blown 429. most beautiful boat i’ve ever seen. also inherited my moms traxxas stadium truck. so fun!
Loved the video, I like that is was very in depth of everything.
Great vid. Awesome boat. I currently have the oxidean marine mini dom. Another great boat.
You know the deal ud rc👍
Impressive! We’ve come a long way from the $$$ Aveox BL setups and 90 second run times😎
I just had to comment It was just funny the way you through the warranty card..=0) It made me laugh thanks. I just wonder how many people really send them in and if there is a problem will the company stand behind their warranty card? To fix their product?
This spartan has nice colours 🌈😏💥
i just order the traxxas spartan today and it says it going to be delivered Tuesday i cant wait until it gets here because i got a pond right out my back door were i can drive it and with bass like 36.56 OZ and bluegill and redear sunfish and mud catfish
do you know if it will run in salt water
You should get on the lake at sunrise, water calm as glass. I bet you could see full throttle runs. That thing moves for a v hull!!!!
Nice video, good boat for the beginner 🚤💦💦💦💦
The boat is nice, I also want to have a case like that, can't I?
Tape the hatch. Dont go slow as motor and esc dont get cooled
I was waiting for the bird in the background to move
if it flips over will it auto right up?
No
That stinks. that could be the deal killer for me.
damn, that baby is powerful. nice vid and boat..
Great video, very detailed but could you tell me how much it costed for you to get the boat, batteries for the boat, AND charger if you even got one? thinking of getting one but I have a budget
I have around $2000 in my spartan. I love it! It's not stock anymore that's for sure.
$2000!! What did you do to it?
@@beckcity16 My thoughts exactly.
Ok
Also wanna know what you did to add up to 2k lol
If you put a good engine, esc, and good batteries, may be need near of 2k
Nice! Hey! Finish the Mudboss series! Interested in Suspension tuning!
the mudboss setup series will never really end. I will keep loading helpful videos for you guys.
@@OvalRC nice! Looking forward to the next one.
What happens if the battery dies while in the water? How do you recover. Does it allow it to save enough power to come back to shore?
My eyes were on the goose the whole time to see if it would move.
GOOSE I THOUGHT THAT WAS A TURKEY!
0.30 AS THE GOOSE/TURKEY HAS NOT MOVED IT MIGHT BE DEAD OR MAYBE REMOTE CONTROLLED AND NOT CHARGED!
Same
I just got the boat but it doesn’t go nearly as fast as the one in the video. It is the exact same one. Any Ideas on why ?
Very informative vidio,A reverse bar really helps with water take on,I love it&the Boat over all,I am very satified plus scary fast
The guy that is driving the boat. IS FIRED!
I am surprised it doesn't have a rubber gasket on the engine bay cover to keep any water out.
Bought a Traxxas Spartan 10 years ago when first produced. Got a factory discount at that time. Ran 5000 mah nickel metal hydride till last year( batteries failing due to age). The connector on one battery developed arching causing damage resulting running on one battery found on close examination. Changed out male connector on boat. If running lipo or nickel metal hydride I recommend changing to at least 6 mm bullet connectors on boat and batteries to lower resistance and improve performance. I switched to 3s 5000mah batteries with bullet connectors. I have 4mm but should switch to at least 6mm. Learn how to drive well before going to full throttle. Use wide turns. 200 yard straight always and 100 yard turn radius. Use hatch tape or Scotch tape sealing cover well especially stearn (back of cover) as water will catch and enter at finger lifting area fillings boat with a lot of water. Good luck. Have fun.
In the spartan manual they tell other way to setting lipo low voltage. Where you can get this info? I struggled to configure my ESC.
60 with a PLASTIC Hull? Good Luck... and No tape on the lid??? Good luck again. Other than that, Nice Mono...
What batteries did u use for the boat
1:00
I only mess with trucks I have the Traxxas TRX 4 sport in desert tan and I have the Traxxas/VXL 2-wheel drive
No indicator for boat battery charge level?
Get the splash guard ... it will stop most of the water getting in the boat
Awesome unboxing I am on vacation in the adirondack’s to.😁
I was just there about a week ago on Johnson pond
A really good video and learned alot about this boat and very helpful thank you it's my first time boating and I would like a good experience and I'll have a better experience from watching this video
It's a shame there are none of these available!!! I have looked all over.
Our local hobby shop has one left (pink/orange) and holding it for me. :)
Call your local shop and ask. You never know!
No, you got lucky, Get a real R/C boat like a Aeromarine Laminates
Great video as usual, love your videos. Would like some more stock Traxxas Slash 2wd videos.
Some stock mudboss races are coming if he uploads them from florians world of rc.
i have a king of shave p1 56"' V hull rc boat that i bought from someone but it's missing some parts was wondering if u had an idea of what size strut and rudder, trimms, turning blade etc. does it carry and what site i can buy it from ???
i have a king of shave p1 56"' electric rc boat that i bought from someone but it's missing some parts was wondering if u had an idea of what size strut and rudder, trimms, turning blade etc. does it carry and what site i can buy it from ???
kinda stupid for that amount of money that u get a plastic boat i mean should be atleast fiberglass in my opinion big ripoff way beter boats for sell for that price
I know traxxxas is kinda crazy almost like apple
Oh it does nose up, finally got my first one and the hull is already cracked...and no I didn't wreck it!
Awesome!
Gr8 video thumbs up.... The boat is good but it is slightly overpriced i bought one boat from banggood that cost me 450$ with two 3s lipo and i can easily touch 60 mph easily but traxxas is no doubt a ferrari of all other Rc's brand
I perfer my slash 4x4 with paddles.a true amphibious/all terrain vehicle
So quick I lost control and hit someone else’s model boat they weren’t too happy bout is too damn fast it’s dangerous
Hay, Hello... im next to albany also! I'm just gettting another boat so chat me we, we can race.
Sonicwake is superior to this in almost every way. No swimming to flip it back over too.
The sonicwake is very hard to keep stable
Michael Duncan RC boatbitz trim tabs and a low lift prop, and play with battery position. It’s not adjustable without those tabs though
Does it come with batteries for the boat?
0:54
Thankyou for the tip I will start off with nmhd batt, As they are a bit slower than lipo batteries.
I thought it had Traxxas steering control in.. it why is it hard to drive at full throttle .. it has steering assist so full throttle should not be a problem controlling ..
It wasn't hard to drive. With the 3s it just started taking flight. I loved the fact that it had more power than it could handle, makes it more exciting.
You don't have any links of where I can buy this product🤔
Would salt water destroy this thing?
whats up with the turkey decoy is that too keep the ducks and geese
Boats run the best w the weight in the back
I'd like to get into RC boats but im still unsure about lipos in it, am i worrying about nothing?
They are completely submersible. Mine have been underwater several times.
Wanting a new transmitter but I'm stuck between the ix12 and nx10 spektrums which would you get? Also seen alot of reviews on radiomaster tx16s
The boat says rough water forward ,smooth water batteries to
The back.
Switching in LiPomode is really uncomfortable..
Only 4-6 minutes of run time. Is this true. You would need $500.00 in batteries on top of price boat.
i wonder if you could put led tape on the front to keep the nose down in higher speeds?
Were i can buy that boat and how much
How long does your battery run for? I have the M41 from traxxas using 6s traxxas batteries and I ran it for maybe like 7-9 minutes and that's it... doesn't give me more run time than that.
Buy batteries that have more milliamps
, the larger the number the more run time, unfortunately the more milliamps the more they cost.
What type and size of 3s batteries did you use including « c rating »? The reason I ask is because I noticed your boat is faster than mine and the only difference is that I have Traxxas 5000MAH 3s, 50c batteries and you don’t. Thanks.
How much you pay for it with everything you need to have it running
That’s ridiculous you have to do all that just too use Lipo batteries
I want one but I’m afraid the battery would die way out in the water and then what do you do then? Haha
always have a kayak with you.. trust me
This made me want one!!! I don't even mess with boats! i was looking at this a couple days ago, now i may just buy one, LOL....HA>>>HA!!!! I gotta get one! my wifes gonna get upset. LOL
IS THE TRAXXAS SPARTAN FASTER THAN SONIC WAKE?
No hatch tape? isn't that for sure going to let water in when in flips
my 3s Slash 4x4 is same way... can't run it WOT unless you are going straight on smooth pavement/concrete. just end up flipping it hard into a mail box and breaking parts.
How Come when I look on Traxxas they only have a like two bouts and they aren’t this one 🙁
I’m trying to do research on RC boats bc I’m thinking of getting one bc I want to try a new hobby other than RC cars
Is water soaked inside? It will not survive too many trips.
That made me cringe when he lifted it out of the box by the prop.
Lol I was like “That’s not 50mph” then HOLY $
Good video,helpful just wondering if you can help me out i have one(rock n roller).I flip it and now lost everything even signal,when turn on the boat like it comes on as it should??Thank you
I got a Snap On edition about a year ago at a garage sale. I haven't had it on a lake yet but, I found a 30 ft. swimming pool just doesn't do! However, in that short distance, mine didn't seem to have the same power. Also it doesn't have the same trim tabs. There is a rear splash bar available that I'm going to get to stop the water from coming in the back when slowing down too fast.
Awesome video my friend, i also own a traxxas spartan and run it with 6s and its hard for me near impossible to go full throttle. As soon as a little wave hit the boat it will take off like a airplane. I bought a new shell + upgrade parts from rcboatbitz and hope with the bigger trim tabs and the other things i did to it things go better.
Oh my god that looks fun i wanna get one i have the Traxxas Xmaxx, jato and X0-1 but i think i'm going to get into boats looks fun. Imagine if you mod that Spartan to run 8s that be sick! but by then you probably would have to put some fishing weights in the front to keep the boat from flipping over or keep the nose end from popping up.
I got the blue crystal spartan
hi great vid !! does the water come inside the hull if you dont put tape and only close it with the back clip ?
Haha I remember buying a traxxas nitro vee back in 99 and I thought that thing could rip at 20mph😂
Nice boat
🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵
I had this boat for 5 years before I sold it ( life changes) this thing with 6s Lipos and the right rudder and powertrain and this thing can get way out of hand in speeds xD
It's Awesome speed can aks where did you buy this spartan boat any online shop do you recommend thanks
Cool boat but I think the Animal by Oxidean Marine is a little faster and super cool with a carbon fiber!
Cant believe I'm actually thinking about purchasing a traxxas
How on Earth do they expect you to plug in the batteries while you hold the trigger forward? I suppose you can use some creativity to do that, but it seems like an unnecessary method that could be accomplished somehow more easily.
Is it possible to buy one of these in Australia anyone
How long battery last I have tax as 5000 3 cell
You need to get yourself trim tabs will not hop little bit of a drag but won't blow over that quick
I have the same boat it is fast but it can flip easy
you said it a lot in your video, but im gona say it again, that boat flies man, i love it, today is my first watching one of your videos and i decided to subscribe man, i mean you record so good bro i jus love this video
Seems like it's a pain in the ass to set up.
Makes me want 2 get 1 for myself
