I may just sell the motor and esc out of the Spartan and use one of my CC1520 motors in it

Maybe we can see if Andy and Darin can look into seeing if Spektrum will make a marine RX with telemetry-mainly the temp sensor since that all the FE boater can use anyway.I know that not everyone uses Spektrum,but many do.I know the MR3000 rocks.By far the best RX Ive ever used.

That would be AWESOME. A MR3000 or a MR200 with telemetry o man that would be sick. It's a pain in the trying to get a sr3300t to work in a boat. The antenna being so short makes it difficult to get antenna up out of the hull. I had to rework my MG to make my sr3300t work I also waterproofed it. Been going strong though.

I say we all join together and form a Class-Action Law Suit against Traxxas for known issues especially faulty Esc's in the Spartan, that catch fire and fry. My best friend is a high profile attorney and would be more than willing to do as we wish. My hand got burnt from the faulty esc which caught fire without any warning.

I'm up for it I don't have my esc traxxas does I received a message that my esc and motor would be replaced and shipped out this week I already ordered a castle motor and I'm looking at new esc s now but one thing is for sure I'm not putting traxxas stuff back in too scared

Traxxas should be ashamed of themselves for releasing a boat that has such known faulty issues. I get it though, assemble and mass produce a boat as cheaply as possible with maximum profit margin regardless of the repercussions, how pathetic. Between youtube videos posts and after doing a google search you can certainly see the the known problems are wide-spread. Amazing how it said on the box for All Out performance add lipos...NOOOOTTTTT, you cant be serious.
It should have said on the box for an amazing FireWorks display ad Lipos or better yet just add the standard batteries already included with the boat. Unreal.

well i can say i have pushed it and ever since i bought this boat i have had nothing but problems.
i would how ever recommend not buying this boat because it is not very wallet friendly.
here is a picture of my esc due to poor cooling

I don't get this?
I thought traxxas put a temp sensor in the esc to shut it down when it got to hot...

[wilsta67]

yeah exactly say no more thats how well it works

I think they have well covered them selves for the cost of warranty replacments putting out a very nasty cheap boat but charging big money for it. What else could you call it when i poses a real fire risk that could potentialy cause serious burns. Its not as though lipos arnt allready potentially dangerous enough but add a possible fire ball to the equasion & it could be very serious indeed.
