There was only about one good pass. I think that's where it hit the best speed.

Keep it going man!

Now you can call traxxas or post on their forum that "i finally hit 50 with your boat................................after major cooling changes and 200 bucks worth of upgrades"..............

Hell man I think I should sell it back to them and say ok here is the v2 boat you need to make!

Yea............tell 'em this v2 will actually hit the 50 they claimed for the v1 turd.

In my opinion, they really screwed the whole deal up....................months of hype, an original name that they stole...................months of peeling off all the titan stickers..................then an underpowered ABS boat that underperforms!!! Way to go Traxxas

Someone at Traxxas is gonna lose their job over this one........................

[LarrysDrifter]

No,they will just promote them.

and just think of all the young guys who buy this because of the 50mph+ posted on all these boxes..

[dag-nabit]

Young guys??

Speaking of the boxes...................i went into my crappy local LHS...................i wont mention their name but the intitials are Hobbytown USA, and saw one Spartan sitting on the shelf. Asked the guy about it, he could care less if i had dropped dead, and I said "can i see the boat out of the box?" Well it was in a plastic wrap..............He said no, we cant open it. I said "What?.every other boat in the store is opened except this one." I have opened many boat boxes there, how do you know what you're getting otherwise............... I said "ok, then i'll just pay you for it, open it here, then return it right now", he told me it had to be in the original unopened packaging..................and I told him, "and thats the way its gonna stay as long as no-one is allowed to see and feel it"...............Traxxas wants it that way i bet.

BTW, these guys at Hobbytown USA could easily get a job in a morgue................i have given them too many chances to be kind and helpful..........they are complete idiots.

[JPriami]

Thats just down right rude on their part. I've never had problems opening a box to check it out before you buy. But it wasn't at hobbytown. I did sorta know a cool peep that worked at one. Lost touch with him tho.

What were your temps with the 4082..........stupid low i bet...............70*'s?

[JPriami]

I forgot to check it today. Had my girl and 18mo old son with me that's why I rushed back to the car. Plus it was cold like 33 and windy. I checked it Friday after I ran and hit LVC. The motor an esc were like 50/55.

[Make-a-Wake]

Looks like you got a solid setup there!! Nice job.
