    Spartan /Castle elecs

    Thought I would move this over here .

    HEy guys ,,I have a question for you .
    I have a chance to grab a couple of Spartans today for 175 each ,both with the new castle electronics .

    I'm currently running a stock impulse 31 and a stock miss geico .

    Both of which I plan to upgrade the electronics in next year .

    I was thinking ,Is it a good deal to buy both Spartans for above price ,run one ,and put the electronics from the other in my impulse or geico ?
    Or sell the Spartan hulls and put the electronics in my impulse and geico ?

    OR ,,skip the Spartans and the electronics and just buy a leopard and esc combo from OSE for both boats as I originally planned ?

    Thanks for your help ,
    Still boating here in Calgary ,,

        I posted in your other thread. Part them out and make your money back. I'd keep the motors thats about it and run on 4s. The Castle motors I think are 1415 1800kv's would work really well in both hulls, but I wouldn't use the esc. I think castle link works with it, but all the issues I'll pass. Just please don't run 6s with that motor.

          The Castle motors in the Spartan are a 1420 or 1421, I know they are the 14xx series and they are much longer than a xx15.
