There are lots of Spartan owners out there. I'm on my 3rd. Loving every minute of them. Always trying different motors, ESC's, and props. Keep the faith. Lots of fun. Al.

Here, I have a brushless mini rio (out of control) and a Spartan. My Spartan filled with water the first 1/2 dozen times out, which really peaved me, but new water jacket and good as gold, now im melting electrical connections each time out, but all plugs now bullets.

Spartan owner here, I pieced mine together, its got the white hull, with the red canopy, I took a proboat stiletto 1800kv motor and a seaking180A esc, and 6mm bullet connectors between the motor and esc, and traxxas plugs to the batteries. Adjustable trim tabs, an auto bailer (for any unwanted water intrusion), and a splash fin. Running twin 7.4v 25C 5000mAh Lipo batteries, an Octura X440/3 brass prop, runtimes are roughly 20 minutes.

Wheres the auto bailer? And does it work good?

[Garrett]

I installed it just above the prop shaft/ strut. You can see it in picture 2. Yes, it works well.

Glad you made the transition to ose! The traxxas forum is lame and bias lol. How has your spartan been?

I am glad too! I am starting to not like TRX very much but it is their forum (not that I think they should act like that). Well since I have been banned I have been busy with mine! I was having some awesome runs (about 12) and then my SK180 blew in smoke. It has been exchanged free of charge by the company, hope to have it by the end of this week! After I get it I will have to send it off to Jimmie Neutron (TRX Forums) for soldering, I think I may have this pump setup for a third channel operation by Jimmie or I will just use it for cleaning the lines when finished running. My Spartan is going to get another overhaul, red hull this time... I already put an OSE tow hook one the front for easy retrieval, next is the Kintec rudder, backsplash guard, and OSE strut install. I also have a Prather 220, gotta get my new SPC packs once they are back in stock! I will post pics when done, Thanks for saying hi!

Got two, modified, never ran the stock electrics.
Fun boats, but seem to fix on them a whole lot more than the SV27's

Are you orca on the TRX forums? Just seems that both of you had/have the same idea. I will never use stock tronics again besides the servo and TX/RX...

[shartinspartin]

Ima run the stock system until it blows
