Traxxas Spartan RC Boat Running Video-(Explosive Ending)

[mrbrybryan]

Next time plrase leave the music out. Videos of this sort are much better with the natural sounds

[DM6GUN]

i was just about trading my slash 4x4 platinum for this boat but after seen the esc burn like this no thanks!! but the video is awesome great work!!!

[cmijn1]

Great video but wtf is up with the music?

[450hp202turbo]

@cmijn1 being a video producer my self , i though the music went well with the speed and flow of the video ,you can not please everybody every time you make a video ,

boats are hard to film even with good gear,,music choice is so hard to keep everyone happy

raw cut no music =boring,

[Tlk0071]

Now thats speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xXxLuke97xXx]

did a lipo explode ??

[350zvj]

Do you run in parallel just by blocking off one connector and using a parallel connector?

[MegaBiker98]

Wow u got lucky 2 times right before the onboard crash... First one being as soon as it switches to the onboard it gets airborne but catches itself then the crash itself

[SuperGatorlover]

is this the stock setup in this video



[TheRclightning]

wathing in mute lol :)

[dtmpowerboss]

i like ending traxxas suck like we all know .

[HobbyKing1000]

do the flip a lot? and the new traxxas spartins, dont they come with the castle creations settup now?

[1bad300zx]

really nice video.... great work

[laserpensRfun]

Is this using the lipo 6s battery? If not which battery?

[zozo1899]

can you please do an unboxing and first review of the traxxas villain ex?

[thunderdomeranger]

Your videos and reviews are outstanding man keep up the great work!! Buying a Spartan here in a couple weeks looking forward to it after watching your videos

[rcnightmare]

@thunderdomeranger wow thanks so much for the kind words! Hope we earned your subscription too :)

[mickvk]

I would bet is has something to do with a traxxas hull designed to flood on every rollover. The shot you had where the nose was the only thing out of the water is what I'm talking about. The canopy is very difficult to tape. Even if the esc, radio box, and servo are supposed to be water proof, it's not a good design. Great vid (and great editing) but the model has a lot of room for improvement.

[rcnightmare]

@mickvk totally agree, we love it though!!! Got the new castle system in there and its gonna fly

[TDotts24]

Excellent videos guys. I find myself watching them even though I already know all about he products most of the time lol!!

[fq300evo]

you are a rcnightmare your video is pants. end off..makes me laugh how you were so smug saying our boat has had no issues whatsoever and how it was only the minority of people who were ranting on about the issues when there are lots of people who are out there just getting on with it with no issues. a spartan without any issues is just a spartan waiting to go up in smoke.. well that bit you in the ass didnt it....LAL...

[rcnightmare]

@fq300evo lol no not really ha! Everything we said was true...at the time......wasn't an over heating issue it ended up being a short....odd...for sure...already back up

[BSRCer]

@fq300evo Traxxas has completely abandoned the old esc/motor combo on the spartan primarily due to overheating issues as well as ESC's shorting out (RCN's shorted the last day of the shoot, took many hours of runtime). Now Castle, that's right, Castle Creations, is making the new motor and ESC and traxxas is shipping these as we speak. RCN already has the new setup and cannot wait to take it out!

[3brosRCSam]

um apparently fq300evo dosent realize how much effort goes into making vids this amazing. it takes me a month to put together a good 40 second vid that syncs well to the music. also you guys have, no doubt, dropped serious coin on camera gear and a quality editing software... then you look on his channel and he is recording on (most likely) an i-Phone......he needs to stop and think about the effort that you put in to this... ok, time for view number 21 :D

[rcnightmare]

@3brosRCSam Hey! good lookin out, thanks for watching and being so awesome.

[3brosRCSam]

@rcnightmare NO! thank YOU, for being so awesome! :)

[TheMacbooksRock15]

[rcnightmare]

@TheMacbooksRock15 esc burned out..common with these boats

[fq300evo]

[rcnightmare]

[BSRCer]

[rcnightmare]

@BrotherBloat thanks for keepin it real lol!

[masonis1]

is this the same size prop as the blast? also what kv is the motor and amp is the esc?

[MegaRallycar]

You should of just took it out and plugged it in and finished her off,

[nerdyrcdriver]

@MegaRallycar Hey, dont I know you. Well, finnishing it off by letting it burn up could have killed the warranty and the lipo. That would lead to a much bigger problem. I lipo fire in a public area.

[rcnightmare]

@nerdyrcdriver well we were in a safe place but yea $200 in lipos and the fiberglass made it worth while :)

[MegaRallycar]

@nerdyrcdriver ya i know, i only meant that in a joking way but with my brushed esc's that only work for like a month (sc-15) i just let it burn up to get a show but ive only do that once. Hpi sent me another one free of charge and with out having me send my other one back. But dont need it i went brushless. So im just gonna sell it cheap probaly for only 10$ new.

[nerdyrcdriver]

@MegaRallycar My sc-15 just stopped working but it didnt smoke or anything. I tried it with different motors and receivers and still nothing. Like 2 weeks ago I tried it again and it worked fine.

[MegaRallycar]

@nerdyrcdriver You know they have a 2 year warrenty. If it stop working then they send you a new one for free. I didnt have to send them back they just replaced it. :D

[nerdyrcdriver]

@MegaRallycar I tested it a week ago and it worked fine

[450hp202turbo]

good video guys keep it up , dam that boat gets up and goes ! even chime walks like the real thing

[fluxful]
