Traxxas Spartan

[GeoVW72]

Looks like December is it. Great for all of us up north.
Parts listings just hit the catalog
Were some things of interest:

TRA5757 Temperature Sensor: Spartan
TRA5747 Flex Shaft Oil (20cc): Spartan
TRA5733 Propeller, 42x59mm: Spartan
TRA2218X 5-Channel 2.4GHz Micro Receiver: Spartan

The white hulls should be cheep, 91% of the cost seems to be the graphics.

Graphic Hull, speed control and motor are going to pricey
Although if you look at the parts listing they are doing a *Lifetime Replacement Plan* on the hull like some of their other products http://traxxas.com/pdfs/5708_parts.pdf

One question I have is, can you oil a flex shaft

they sure looked nice.
notice they never mentioned a name
it took them this long to release the video because someone had to go through and change all the titan logos to spartan, bet that was fun.

they pushed the date at the warehouse to 12/15
lets hope they don't drop the ball again or that we end up with a melted hunk of plastic

Wonder why they're running counter-clockwise in the vid.............cuz thats what they know as Nascar guys?

Try living 15 minutes away from a track . The traffic on raceday's drives me freaking nuts . NASCAR does blow I agree, never had to deal with it until I moved to the south. They did have Ken Block driving one though

Pretty cool. Wonder if they were run with the stock nimh packs.

oh man, I dig NASCAR racing
I lived about 2miles from a 3/8th mile track years ago and the sound on Saturday nights was sweet!

I love motor racing but the glory days were the 50's and 60's. I was a wee boy taken to an old airfield converted to a race track in Scotland...Charterhall....I saw Jim Clark race there...my hero, I was hooked. Today we get a bunch of guys on the telly who can not shut up and the racing is crap.

When I lived in Metro detroit, I used to go to Belle Isle for the F1 races. Now that, is real car racing.

F1 is my favorite!
I worked at the Inaugural Grand Pix of Denver years ago, and that was a flippin blast! (not F1)
I had access to the whole event at anytime and worked one of the score boards along Denvers streets
and I got to meet Danny Sullivan right before the race
