Traxxas Spartan 67.2 mph run

[Zackthrills]

Going to go to lake more and try to re shoot myself.

[Heaving Earth]

The video was fine. Not 67 tho... My 60mph boat would smoke that thing

[Heaving Earth]

1. the gps gave faulty reading
2. You have it set to kph
Check your setting and run the gps several times

[Rumdog]

50 mph tops. Where's that GPS shot? Come on man... We all smelled this from a mile away.

[Zackthrills]

I don't know I'm going to run it tonight and try again but do video myself

[Powerboat 5000]

Hmmmm

[h2o 1]

yeah,nice vid but you should never run any boat aimed at you or your children! That hull can get airbourne and become a flying missle! Be careful man!

[Rumdog]

Dude.. He was claiming 73.6 mph

[Powerboat 5000]

Is that stage three?

[Heaving Earth]

I thought we were going to see some jaw dropping *!***!***!***!**...? You gotta do 10000 times that to blow minds man. Search the forums sometime...

[TheShaughnessy]

That run was only 3/4 throttle, just need to re calibrate the speedo. That should give it the extra 20 mph it needs

[Zackthrills]

I'm using my phone an app can not re calibrate.

[Heaving Earth]

Dude.......w.....t......f....... Lol

[Zackthrills]

Only gps I got. Should work fine.

[Rumdog]

Ha haaaaa!!!

[Heaving Earth]

Wow..... What else can be said here.... I mean honestly.....

[Powerboat 5000]

Stop!! I can't take any more.

[Heaving Earth]

Where's the popcorn

[Heaving Earth]

I don't know I'm going to run it tonight and try again but do video myself

By "tonight" you mean when? You're in the same time zone as me.... Pretty sure quarter of eleven in Florida is pretty dark outside

[Powerboat 5000]

I think the water get slipperier after midnight

[driftah]

ok lets put this thing to bed lol,clearly a Spartan did not do near the claimed speeds and second this guy showing footage of his two young children being propwashed and almost speared by a plastic missisle. Kudos to the wife for thinking safety.

[Heaving Earth]

Pretty much :yawn:

[Speedracer128]

C'mon Zack!!! Spartans run faster than that stock on 6s. If that boat is breakin 70kph at the least sho some numbers off the gps.

It's kind of funny knowing what pool of knowledge exists in this forum and still some are excited to slip one by. :) Kind of like calling mike Tyson a wimp!! In the ring! But we all enjoy the entertainment and want front row seats!!!

I look forward to the 70 mph run :)

I think my Rio ep modded will give you a run for your money,
It just needs a little more weight in it and some hot glue to hold the motor down again.
But my last video's I posted really suck !
It must have been the 100f heat getting to me that day.

Hears how I shoot video's by my self with cam mounted to the tx,
It may work for your phone to with a little modding.

I need to get you a pic of my hat mount camera- I use my phone and have bent some coated wire hangers to hold it on my hat, just have to follow it with your head.

[Livewire121]

Was that 70 scale mph....it can be very confusing lol!!

[Zackthrills]

Ok I can admit I was wrong I did run it again after looking up everything in this app and many say it does read off. . I did check it and run it again. Being New it did look fast and maybe I was wrong a learning curve I guess. Do I Did run it and it came out to max 44mph and they say that can still be off. Do I will admit I was wrong a novice mistake. I do apologise. I can admit when I was wrong.

[SloHD]

Well technically that would be somewhere around 500mph scale speed.

[Powerboat 5000]

No worries Zack, it's all about having fun!
