I burnt up my stock esc. I have a spare traxxas vxl6s esc. Can i use this esc on this boat? I'm running 3s lipos. Wasnt sure if motor timing was an issue or anything else? the motor is still stock also.

When u say your running 3s lipos do u mean your running2x3s=6s or just 3s the stock proboat esc only handles up to 5s

oops..sorry, yes running 2x3s to get 6s. no wonder it screamed then went up in flames. I purchased the boat used and this is what was in it for batteries. now i want to put my spare esc out of my spartan in it.

The spartan esc will be fine but im not sure of that motor is rated for it i have a stiletto also i run it on 6s with the 1500kv miss geico motor so far so good.. But from what i hear the 1800 kv that comes in the stiletto only handles 5s like the 60amp esc it comes with
