          I hope your not planning on running those stock traxxas nimh batteries with the castle motor. You'll need some decent lipos to power that motor.

                        Id run the 1520 motor and the 180 amp esc with two 3s packs wired in series for 6s in the Spartan.It should run good,but start with a smaller prop-say, an X442.Then if temps are cool,try an X445.

                              No need to be like that.You will always get a response.Most times it isnt right away if someone logs off or walks away from pc.
                              Yes, I do have pics of my boats.Go to my profile and look at the albums.One thing to remember here is to not be impatient.
