new improved spartan

[Chrisg81983]

It is like driving a totally different boat it is actually very stable at WOT in most water conditions by the way nice mc bdp1174 I love mine

Looks like it handles really good, but honestly i don't like the flat deck look. I think the origional hull looks better. I'm supprised there are no rumblings of a hull change on the Traxxas site, wonder what the deal is?

[Chrisg81983]

You r rite about looks but I will take a flat deck to have a better handling boat atleast now you can get some stable speeds out of it

Called traxxas. They did not acknoledge any chage except the motor and esc on the spartan.

[Rcforever27]

Ok thanks! I actually just emailed them asking about the new "updated"hull, hopefully I'll hear back tomorrow....

[Chrisg81983]

I ran the new spartan today I first used a gps and the top speed was 51.4 then I used the radar gun and it was 50.9 this was all stock prop and all I was quite impressed with this I will post videos later on when I am out of work.

The Traxxas website shows the new hull. There is nothing about why the hull was changed, but all the pics show the flat deck hull. I still think i like the looks of the origional hull better!

Looks like they changed everything. All the old pictures were like 2 years old when it used to be called the Titan.
Look it even has Castle wires!
