I just put up a video of this boat as well. Had mine for close to a decade. Decided to bring it out. Mine came with 2 NIMH batteries, but, could upgrade to 2x 2 or 3 cell lipos. Super amazing boat. Super stable.

I bought one a couple of years ago from offer up , took it to the Colorado river and kept dyeing. I got it fixed but havn't had a chance to take it out. Hopefully this spring , can't wait.

Very Nice! Wow, out of the box and it just slides on top of the water, not much bounce. 👍 Thanks!

Gotta love the slo-mo video

Congrats on 100 videos

I always dig your boat vids and the beautiful locations you run them in. Also looking foward to a snow run this winter to see if the spartan can do as well as the m41 did.👍💯

Looks like it can't handle anything but glassy smooth water. Kind of what I'd anticipate going 50 mph on a 4 foot hull.

Adding weight will make boat more stable?

Picked up a Sonicwake V2 last Saturday. It's already in the mail back to HH.. I just hate traxxas proprietary connectors and such. Is the boat awesome? It doesn't seem to flip much? The Sonicwake has self righting though. Used it often as it flipped easily in chop.

The boat is pretty cool and if your not careful it will flip while turning. It does not have self righting which kinda sucks, biggest thing I don't like about the boat is the hull cover seems to snap off easy whenever the boat flips and gets the electronics wet

hi.dude....nice video ! any heat issues with those heavy bateries ? are you runni g the stock 4 mm flexshaft and the stock plastic prop ?

​@@FivoNine for 15 min running time do you remember how many mah 3S bateries were you using?

Traxxas dropped the ball with that canopy. Even wltoys can design a system that seals and wont come undone.

I got a new spur gear yesterday because my other spur gear stripped out of my rustler 4x4.

Who cares

What battery’s does anyone recommend

Does this vehicle have no self righting function :( They have the Traxxas Spartan SR which solves that.

I need to buy a charger and battery for my Traxxas Blast. It's been sitting in the box for 4 years

Which do you like better? M41 or this one.

Spartan is a great ship. There is no need to improve it, because it costs a lot of money. I know what I'm talking about. otherwise, you made a nice video. A friend drowned mine in water that was 4°C. oops

Yes, but on choppy water your more likely to flip.....im sure on smooth water it wouldn't be a problem. Also you run out of room very quickly lol 😂

How fast did you get it to go? that's awesome 😁

Traxxas really didn’t do much homework. Rubber tube around motor. Plastic prop, hatch comes off on a flip. All battery come out totally soaked. 😢 if your first time buyer your in trouble right from purchase. Shame on Traxxas for not doing the homework. I believe the boat team that approved the Spartan should be fired like the pro boat team that signed off on the UL one and other boats with the 2000 kv 6pole . You should be able to run the boat out of the box without having to worry about drying your equipment in the first 10 minutes or less of playing with it. Put your money in Proboat Sonicwake V2 . At 420.00 that self righting. Metal prop, metal cool jacket for motor, seal on lid , Four corner lock downs . Just saying

How long battery last ?
