Put the batteries as far forward as you can to stop the porpoising (hopping in the water) and if you did that you may need ballast. If it still doesn't work, you should be able to adjust the prop to push the front end down.
Great camera crew and great video!! God bless you! Thank you!
Be careful Traxxas boats will sink. Add some extra foam and tape down the lid around the whole seam before each run.
People with money don't care 😒 like this one
@@tylerspeer971 Don't let it scare you,I have 2 Spartons,I painted them with rainbo-micro Flake and am researching big time before launch,look me up on facebook,Kevin Keller Windsor On.(the black camaro picture)I am writing down your name Bud.Have a Great Day
@iiWolfy OUCH Bud
@iiWolfy We are Nuts but that sounds Nasty Bud,We been Lucky so far
fantastic ! loving that crash ! cant seem to get my best crashes on video ,,,,well done!
Great video of the Spartan!!!...helps me more with getting this boat!
"He who dies with the most toys wins". You're winning brother.
dont reverse too much - dumps loads of water into the hull
Great video. That's a smooth lake!
Wow! Ultra RC Hobbies is the place I go to all time!
When it snows you can drive it in the snow and it looks wicked cool!
Looks like a AWESOME fishing spot!
That walking at hi speed is why I'm getting a catamaran😁 -really nice boat y'all have👍
I went with a catamaran myself. Mine isn't a Traxxas though. Mine is the (now discontinued) ProBoat Zelos Twin. Two motors, two escs. Does 65 mph with two 6s 50c 6000mah batteries. My buddy has the Traxxas M41. I am going to also get the ProBoat Sonicwake which is a v hull but with self righting. The Zelos doesn't have self righting but is very stable at speed. The Sonicwake will be good for choppy waters and won't have to worry about flipping it.
Good camera work! Thanks for that.
I have a question. Was that a boat launch at that lake in BC? Wondering if the water got deeper the further you went down it? I know they aren't all like that but I had this one friend.....
I'm thinking 1/4 oz lead centered up about 8 inches from the nose would help the nose stay down and prevent the flip. Nice video thanks for posting. I love watching all the first time runs.
What a gorgeous place to play ❤👍
Hello from Norway. Wonderful boat I've had myself. Traxxa's stock quality. Spartan is wonderful. Two days ago I ordered a brand new boat. PRO BOAT MISS GEICO ZELOS 36 CATAMARAN RTR. I've been wanting this boat for a long time. Now it's on my way home to me. Two 6-cell battery on each battery. 120Km / h + a monster of a boat.
Awesome!!
Nice maiden run with the Spartan, i had mines do the very same thing on 6s, first time out.
haha cool video
Ive owned two Spartans, one stock one completely modded. Stock is a little too much RPM on 6s, hot ESC, and the flexshaft won't last that long on 6s.
The modded spartan was a 1600kv Leopard 4082, sea king 180 amp ESC and a 3/16 flexshaft with a 42mm CNC prop. Night and day difference, a little bit faster but WAY more stable and reliable. Everything ran cool to the touch and never broke a flexshaft. Nice boat when modded
I appreciate your comment here. What about water getting into the hull? Would you get this or the sonicwake if you were to buy again and had to choose between the two. The pro boat sonicwake has self righting and is also 6s. Looking for a first amd last boat. I don't want to get into it like I am with my land RCs.
@@jcallesano sonicwake 100% I had the sonicwake and it was incredibly fun, never gave me any issues and it takes a lot of stress out when the boat self rights. It’s not even a contest in my opinion
Супер пацаны! Всегда за вами наблюдаю! Приезжайте в Сибирь отдохнем!
So Great pro💯 I've bought one like it💙 Traxxas Spartan🚤 & nice 4K Video📹
great now I want one of these too
The Spartan is a FAR better Traxxas product than the Blast. I wish I had ponied up the extra money for a Spartan.
That's funny, I'm bitching about no slow mo on the flip and then there it is at the end!!! well done my friend
haha thank you
Did mama bear and papa bear get it on during the interludes?
when it flipped it looks exactly like a big one when they go. how long does the battery last?
a good 25 to 30 mins on 6s ripping pretty good. ya when air gets under it she flips quick lol
how fast did it go?
You should put a go pro on it!
what was the top speed you got?
What batteries were you useing
Wow, I was kinda of surprised to see a Traxxas engineered toy seem so wonky at high speeds. I have a Pursuit hull same size boat as the Traxxas. It will do 58mph on a 4s in parallel (i think im saying it right, the config is not 8s but twice the run time as 1 - 4s) basically to balance the boat out. It will do 72mph on 6s but its highly tuned for racing on NAMBA circuit. Mine does the same thing at high speeds. I wonder if more weight in the front would help it from bouncing around and popping up in the air like that? I think it would slow it down too much so the trade off wouldnt be worth it. When you can find water as smooth as glass these boats are amazing though. I also have a huge 52" Inforcer hull. Its much wider than the Traxxas hulls and a good foot or more longer. But the mixed fuel (gas) engine in it will only go about 30-35mph. I wish i could figure out how to make it run faster so I could see how it handles the chop.
That's pretty cool
I live in Prince George wish I would of been at purden so I could of met you, been a fan for years.
Dang that woulda been sweet...next time! lol
amazing
how much was it?
Seeing as you must drive through Terrace to get to Price Rupert, stop on in at Kickstart Motorsports! I would enjoy meeting you, and our one tech here has a badass turbo maverick!
I have talked to him, was gonna sell him my stock bumper of my Mav. Next time!
does that have an upgrade
Very good
Traxxas makes some sick stuff. I had one of their early buggies the Traxxas bullet. it was fast but not like this new stuff
this would work great for taking my shark baits out 150 yards in florida instead of kayaking.. too damn freaky seeing fins next to the kayak at night. sweet video
Yes, there is a channel on YT (sorry i cant remember the name) of some guys out in Austrailia who have set their rc boat up to take the line way the heck out there and it releases it soon as a fish hits it or either they set up where they can push button to release it when they get it where they want it. But they have caught some monsters using RC boats and drones to drop their lines way off shore.
@@teeshark6584 since I posted this comment 3 years ago I bought one of those boats and rigged a actuated bait release system on the back powered by a servo that releases the bait when I flip a switch on the radio. It works like a charm except for when weeds are floating by.
@@teeshark6584 coub.com/view/us9qo
you got the perfect spot to run you boat
Was that at 30 miles an h or was that 50?
U will love it
That's good!👍
Dang it... now I want one....
sweet!!!
the self righting option was worth the money
how cool
What kind of battery are you using on the boat
Adam lyzwa dual 3s traxxas 5000mah
MEGAGEIL :) Klebt die Abdeckung mit Teasfilm oder Klebeband ab! So kommt kein Wasser ein. Ich habe ein Eigenbau Rennboot. 40cm lang und 90kmh schnell :)
Nice
Set your batteries more towards the front
I had them up front. Just needed to adjust the sponsons
Boat is Sweet ! Been eyeballing that one for years.. Mods coming ?
Man it's a blast! Gonna throw some awesome parts on it
Get a pro boat sonic wake has self righting so don’t have to worry about swimming and the hull is very strong and the electronics are way better then traxxas
To tape up the lid, is a MUST...
that crash was epic I would not even call it a crash maybe a trick.
are u guys somewhere near Regina? I live in langenburg SK what about u guys what town or city
I am a few hours North of Stoon
+ostacruiser should come down to yorkton somtime soon bring the renegade lol
Chine-walking because it's over powered.
Always wondered what you do for work?
Watch you a lot. What do you do for work?
the RC boat front too light , must need put something ,, if not will fly up to sky ,,,,
I didn't know the boats could do the truck flips too!!??
I live in Prince Rupert you are awesome by the way
Is RC aviation next?
Obviously the insides are water-proof?
whoa
Nice toy :)
tape the lid on it will help keep the water out.
I was just in Prince George I've been to that lake so many time. I live in burns lake
So nice around there!
+ostacruiser Yess should stop by
omg I fucking love in burns lake just 2 hour past prince George. you should stop at my high school on the left and cone see us my friend loves your vids to
haha that's cool!
omg, that thing is super fast! how much does it go for????????????
GOOD TIME'S WITH RICH 400$ US on amazon.com
is the m14 a little more stable?
Rancherman420 yezzir
thx
too bad u could put a touch of weight up front to keep it down and from flipping..might get more speed
yea something
gopro maybe?
Mathew Thompson go pro be awsome.lol
HELL YA A GORPRO!
well you could use the batteries as a balance weight the more you push them forward the more nose heavy you get and these boats do have trim plates you can bend to get them sit nose down, its all about tuning your setups with these things but the more nose down your boat the more stable but the more hull is in the water and the more drag you have
Wait, I thought the Spartan didn’t have reverse?
I have this boat and it does NOT hop like yours does. Mine stick to the water and with a 2200kv castle motor i am pushing 55+ mph. keep the batteries in the forward position.
The batteries were all the way forward but my sponsons on the back were not adjusted properly. It is much better now
Notification squad here!
is a traxxas spartan fiberglass?
No itS PLASTIC! That why I like proboat cause there hull are fiberglass
I think somethings wrong with your transom because the water is smooth and your boat keeps bouncing up and down either that or your prop
What happens is if you hit a fish in the water that will happen we have the gas boats I could do 92 miles an hour with a 57" boat What kind of cars do you have I am looking for a king Blackfoot RC truck do you have One of those please comment back
Add some trim tabs would help
IT VERSES,,,,BUT DOSENT HAVE A SELF RIGHTNING SYSTEM(FOR A 5/600$6S BRUSHLESS BOAT COOMMEEE OONNN!!! DOES THE DCB M41 HAVE IT??BECAUSE THAT,,,,,IS GONNA DETERMIN WHICH I BUY
how much did that cost?
400 ebay
Mandame una para mi hijo a Cuba
That front end needs more weight.
Kids need life jackets
definitely need to adjust your trim tabs down. front end is floating too bad
Will do...those were the first 2 runs...got er more dialed in now
+ostacruiser the spartan is a bad ass boat. my neighbor has 2 we mess with. was those runs on 6s or 4s?
at 0:37 didn't expect to see an inukshuk thats what its called
Yes very cool. Mrs. Osta spotted it
Need to balance it out. Lil weight up front
Somethings wrong with your trim your boat keeps bouncing up and down
Yes I have it fixed now
where in Canada do you live ostacruiser?
North Central Saskatchewan
+ostacruiser nice nice love videos. I'm from prince george
I love these boats but I will stick to Rc cars because I'm scared that if I crash of lose signal in the middle of the lake I have to swim all the way to get it and for a Rd car you just need to walk a feet meters
The bikesandgame Mix haha true
Get a petrol one and buy a inflatable boat or a board you can lay on and get towards the boat The bikesandgame Mix
eXozGaming lol but still to much work😝
smh The bikesandgame Mix
i want it😭
Top speed?
I have had it over 45mph...says it can get up to 55mph on 6s. she gets a little unstable though lol
Bisa kirim ke Indonesia dan berapa harga nya ini
As a owner of a spartan i have to say the hull design sucks. It’s not waterproof in any way, if you crash, the boat WILL fill up with water and destroy them in worst case. I’ve had to replace the motor and ESC twice.
hahahaa funny 😂
Stop by kitimat
Hi
It goes pretty good not bad Please comment back I have Nitro boats and I have weed wacker motor boats and they all fly Please comment back thank you for this video
Those boats sound fun
Rookie
The Spartan is quicker then the m 41but the m 41 lookskiller
5:08 for the crash
2:20 ;)
ostacruiser lol...how the hell did i miss that. Bad ass bro. So funny you are the one to call me out. Love your videos. Keep it up. and thank you very much for shARING.
