I bought the brand new Traxxas SPARTAN in January.... I've been waiting FOREVER to take it out. Today was finally good enough to get it out for a few minutes and get enough video for a teaser clip. This boat is awesome!! 6S lipo ready and it screams like an angry bee. lol. Can't wait to run it some more. COME ON SUMMER!!!!

  • Did you get your Castle Creations Motor/ESC replacement in the mail? I also have this boat (in blue as well) and had trouble with my ESC. Traxxas just sent me the updated Castle set and I couldn't be happier. I took my UL-1 out today for the first time and was mighty impressed. I'm not sure which I prefer the Spartan deep "V" style or the Ul-1 hydro. Both are awesome!! :-)

  • @signboi23 - I purchased my spartan the very first week they were available, so I have the original power system. I have NEVER had any problems with it. I only run 6S lipo and I have NO overheating issues. So I don't need the new upgraded power system, although it sounds very good. lol. Also, glad you like the UL-1. It's a great hydro. Only think I don't like about it, is that you have to tape the top deck on every time you run. lol. wish it had pins instead of tape.

  • I just picked mine up yesterday. They are amazing. :)

  • Yes, you will not be sorry you got it. :)

  • awesome video and quality,, look out for drifting branches ..... hey i heard from a few guys that the 6cell battery upgrade can cause the boat to catch fire... but than again thats traxxas problem,.....

  • Yeah there's some pretty interesting stories floating around on the internet about this boat overheating. Maybe they're true.. and maybe they aren't... all I can tell you for a fact is that I run (2) 3S 11.1v 5000mah lipos in mine and it hasn't overheated at all yet.  And I am very happy with it.

see all

  • @drieseboy Yes you can, but you will have to run fresh water thru the pipes and so on after your run

  • Hey Jetlag, I have a spartan on the way and I also have a gopro hero2. I would like to know what the string does with the suction cup, is that security:P Or? And what is it attached to?

  • can i run the boat is salt water ??

  • '

    how come america never make this spartan boat,,,

    why need depend on taiwan make the spartan boat for america

  • dear jetlag2222, i was going to buy a spartan, when i saw the price incresed from 339, to 459, wtf??

  • Yes, I definitely agree. It seems Aqucraft could have designed the lid of the UL-1 with some sort of rubber gasket. Then just insert in the front (like the Spartan) and pin down at the back compressing the rubber gasket slightly and creating a good seal. Otherwise an awesome performing boat, holds great in the turns!! I'm taking them both out again this morning. I live in Frisco, TX (north Dallas suburb) and have to beat the heat!! Take care and looking forward to more videos!! :-)

  • I want one
