I have a Traxxas Spartan and have been looking for another boat to use as a retrieval boat when my Spartan dies on the lake. Those of you that have one of the minimonos, do you think it would work pulling in a Spartan? Would be putting a small foam float with something to hook the rear of the spartan and drag it back in. Just wondering if the minimono will have enough power to do so. I like it cause it's small and won't take up a lot of real estate in my car along with the spartan.

I have a mm. I would think that you would either stress out the esc and burn it up or stress out the drive shaft from the ever-so sensitive coupler. Maybe drag out a foam and line from shore, hook the rear, then reel back both boats. Something I've thought about but have not tried yet. -
The Minimono operates best at full speed. Like 3b said, I think you would be over working the esc, drive wire and coupling."There's nothing else I really want to do other than get up and build boats." - Mike FioreComment

Thanks guys. Kind of what I figured, just wanted to hear from some mm owners. I ended up ordering a tug boat online. Looks like it will work right out of the box for a retrieval boat but may put in better electronics. Thanks for your info!Comment

Played with it a little today, put my Spartan in the pool and sent the tug to push it back. It worked well. 2 things, the tug could use some weight in the hull to balance a little better but still worked, and just need to make something to give a little more surface space to push the boat back. I was surprised how well it worked still.Comment
