RC ADVENTURES - Traxxas Spartan 4s Lipo vs 6s Lipo - Radio Control Speed Boat
Click Here To Subscribe! ► bit.ly/JOovvU - Watch in 1080p HD, of course! I'm out for a rip with my Traxxas Spartan. I was curious to see 4s vs 6s lipo battery power. I wasn't on the throttle all the time, often just letting the boat glide along. Also .. I moved the prop so it threw a HUGE Rooster tail. This makes it easier for me to see at far distances and the camera can see it too. By no means is this the "fastest" this boat will do. If tuned & dialled in.. Im sure I could have squeezed 15kph more out of it. But - for having fun on a 30c day, there's no better place to be other than at a lake splashing away!
My Traxxas Spartan is stock motor/esc..

Really enjoy your videos!! Fun, and yet very calming at the same time.
THANKS for your GREAT videos. Because of them, I've jumped into the RC stuff balls to the wall. Even though I still know very little. NOW..... I want to get me one of these boats!
Never really got into the boats but thats pretty cool!!! Traxxas may not be the most technical RC's but I find them to be the most FUN!! Bashing fun that is
Love it. Excellent video and nice boat. Keep up the great work. Mike
What a difference! That thing really got up with the 3S x 2 Great to be you man!
No comparison!!! With 6s not only can you see the difference via speed and one gnarly rooster tail but that motor just screams! So sick medic! ⚓
Love the comparison Medic. It's interesting to hear and see the difference in 4s and 6s. Love all the vids keep them coming.
Yay a new vid can't wait to watch
A real hot boat. Thanks for the video.
I would love to see you build a swamp / airboat! It´s tons of fun to build and run such a boat! Think about it, please!!!
That was a great show Medic. Love the Rooster Tail.
Verrrrry Nice!!
Oh, just so you know, if I view your videos, I'll ALWAYS give it a thumbs up.
Sounds so cool
Freaking awesome
what a great show on 6s..! :-D
Nice boat run, that thing has some crazy speed to it, would love to see the extra 15kph (-;
You need a paddle boat with a beer cooler !
1:33 it sounds like a lambo XD
Have a Spartan myself. I highly recommend getting an aftermarket aluminum water jacket for the motor. Got one for 20 bucks from offshoreelectrics. Was the first and best upgrade I made. You'll get better cooling and won't take on water like you do w/ the stock sleeve...

wow! big difference!
you and your friends should make a ship!
Now, would a bigger prop make for a faster ride? Not to up on fluid dynamics very much but it's so cool how different categories of rc bring their own form of physics to learn in a way
Now you can go boating with Ted!
what a difference 2 cells makes. so how much run time do you get with the 12 8's?
Great video like all other of yours👍A tip, change to a TFL alu prop and the boat gets wild with 6S, allmost an drivable monster👊🏻
I think a good idea for the channel would be a trophy truck build
Its like 6s has that extra gear! And awesome sound! nice boat-- 80km/h?
Dem Minos dough
When you got your Traxxas Spartan, how was the radio range with the stock Traxxas radio?
When ya gonna mount your go pro onto the boat?
What batteries do you use in your raidos? Rechargables or nicad?
I would love to get this boat. I tried on Saturday when I was getting my traxxas summit monster truck. After watching many videos including yours I made up my mind to fork over the cash and buy one. Hobby store wouldn't give discount if buying both, so in do time I will get that boat. But also have to see where I'm aloud to drive it at since all around me is state parks. Raleigh, NC.

Bad luck Shaun. You should have been given a discount buying two. Is there another place you can spend your money? If there is another store, you could have told them that you are going to shop around. They dont like losing a sale, walking away might have got you that deal. Better luck next time friend.

Hi Medic! My names is Zach and I have recently purchased a Traxxas Spartan from an individual used. When I run it on 6s I have an issue with it porpoising really bad 3/4 to full throttle. What should I do to make it stop? Big fan of your videos by the way!

3S batteries are 11.1V. Lipo batteries are 3.7V per cell, so just multiply the cell count by 3.7 to get total voltage. 3 x 3.7v = 11.1v 4 x 3.7v = 14.8v 6 x 3.7v = 22.2v
What is the run time for the spartan with 6s lipo's stock? i was thinking about saving up for it from traxxas's website and im just curious how long it would run with those batteries, thanks :)

If your on full power the hole time running it, it should be able to go for about 15-20 minutes, if your going at various speeds it should probably last 30 mins

how long to play with 2s + 2sbattery 12800 amh ? and how long to play with 3s+3s battery 12800 amh

ธนกิจ คัมภีรกิจ the 3s batteries are not 12800mah and also, it will vary with the brand of lipo
why don't you make a boat trailer for this boat and pull it with your semi it would look sweet when you pull up to the water and launch it. I had made a boat trailer for my little bad toys rs boat and now I am thinking of making a trailer for my other boat I have just picked up.
Go to the dam with the spartan
do a drift vid soon if possible
Get those anchors out of there and go faster even, sacrifice run time for speed.

4S is four lithium polymer battery cells. Each cell is 3.7 volts. Four cells times 3.7 is 14.8 volts. Six cells is 22.2 volts. More volts mean a higher top speed. I know the question was asked five years ago. I am just now wanting to get into RC electric boats and need to learn all I can too.
