Product Description
Traxxas Spartan High Performance Race Boat RTR w/ TQi 2.4Ghz Radio, TSM, Green
Extreme Power and Speed on the Water
Spartan is the kind of boat you expect from Traxxas. Its 50+mph fury makes even the most insatiable, power-hungry enthusiasts jump up and take notice. Spartan means business with its super-rigid, 36-inch deep-V hull, smooth, cable-drive efficiency, innovative water cooling system, and precision aluminum and stainless steel drive controls. The clean, modern hull design is built up in layers for maximum rigidity and its bold paint makes a statement on the water. The integrated battery trays secure a wide variety of battery packs from 8.4V NiMH batteries all the way up to 8400mAh 3s LiPo packs. A high-output TQi 2.4GHz radio with the innovative Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) system keeps Spartan under complete control as it slices through the water. Spartan delivers the power, speed, convenience, and fun for which Traxxas' award-winning cars and trucks are known. Prepare yourself for the ultimate RC boating power trip, only from Traxxas.
Velineon VXL-6s Marine Brushless System
Extreme Velineon brushless horsepower delivers the muscle you want with the reliability you expect from Traxxas. The VXL-6s Marine electronic speed control is built for true 6S LiPo power.* On-board low voltage detection helps you maintain your batteries. The extra voltage and current maximizes the potential of the Velineon 540XL motor for extreme 50+mph speed. The sensorless Velineon 540XL motor is designed for high-rpm performance and Spartan reliability with ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, a precision-balanced rotor, and efficient, high-speed ball bearings. Cooling water is routed through the innovative speed control case and then into a unique sealed motor jacket that allows cooling water to flow directly against the motor for maximum possible heat transfer. The Spartan keeps its cool, run after run, for trouble-free all-day fun.
Modern Reinforced Hull
The Spartan's clean, modern hull design is built up in layers for maximum rigidity where it matters most, the transom and ride pad. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, Spartan's ABS hull is designed to withstand the stress of high-voltage brushless horsepower, without the weight penalty of a fiberglass hull. The transom bulkhead also incorporates bosses for the trim tabs, turn fins, rudder support, and drive strut, eliminating the need for additional hardware inside the hull. In the Spartan's bow, molded foam is form-fitted to the interior, adding security as it further stiffens the hull. Outside the hull, Spartan impresses with its wild factory-applied graphics—a Traxxas trademark.
Easy-Access Hatch
Spartan's hatch is secured by a single body clip and removes in seconds for fast and easy access to the hull interior. No sealing tape is required, and a specially designed drip rail in the hull channels away any water that washes over the hatch.
Body-Clip Lanyard
You'll never drop a body clip into the lake with Spartan! A flexible rubber lanyard keeps the body clip secured to the hatch so it's always at the ready. It's just one of the many small details that makes a day at the lake with Spartan fun and easy.
Streamlined Water Outlet
Nothing was overlooked in the effort to optimize every detail of the Spartan—even the water outlet is unique! Instead of an unsightly piece of tubing, Spartan's water outlet is streamlined and integrated into the hull, maintaining its sleek look.
Removable Power Module
A signature feature of the Spartan is its unique Power Module. The VXL-6s speed control, waterproof receiver box, and powerful 2056 high-torque servo are all bolted securely to the tray. Detach the steering linkage and flex cable, then loosen just two screws to release the Spartan's electronics. All of the electronic components, including the motor and stuffing tube, lift out as a unit. No other boat makes it so easy to access the hull interior and electronics, and the molded parts fit into the hull precisely for perfect alignment without crude brackets or wooden stringers. The Power Module also contributes to the Spartan's stability by holding the electronic components low in the hull. Spartan's low center of gravity, combined with its wave-cutting deep-V hull, gives it high stability without compromising high performance.
High-Strength Aluminum Hardware
Extreme brushless horsepower demands rigid drive hardware and a flex-free transom for sharp and predictable handling. The rudder, rudder support and drive strut are extruded and machined from rugged 6000-series aluminum alloy for maximum strength, and then polished and anodized vivid blue for that unmistakable Traxxas look. When you lean the Spartan over into a water-carving turn, you can count on the rudder to dig in and hold your line. The rudder incorporates a pickup for the water-cooling system, and uses Oilite bushings for smooth steering action. The drive strut also uses Oilite bushings for corrosion-free performance, and features an oiling hole for easy maintenance.
Stainless-Steel Trim Tabs & Turn Fins
Spartan's dual trim tabs and turn fins are critical to its high-speed performance. The parts are precision die-cut and bent from stainless steel to resist corrosion as they provide aggressive cornering 'bite' and the proper hull attitude for water-boiling speed.
