Traxxas Spartan vs Traxxas M41 widebody Catamaran
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2022
- Which one is better? We race both of the Traxxas boats. The Traxxas Spartan 6s and the Traxxas M41 DCB Catamaran. There's a few crashes and flips but both boats are awesome in there own way.

The stability of the m41 is everything imo.
I had made one over 40 years and now I am ready to buy a new one, just trying to decide. I Like what you had done and mentioned! Thanks!
Holy Moly. I ordered my M-41 just the other day. Thanks for this great video. Christoph from Germany 🤝
Awesome video and Rcs my friend. Excellent run on both boats. Thanks for sharing
👍🥶👍
Living on the little Spokane I opted for the proboat jet boat. Needed self righting. I think that wide body is my next purchase. Great videos!
I was waitting for this one......great job🤩
Thank you
Good fun! That Spartan is fast!!! Really digging the boat cockpit camera view 👍👍
Me too, I was nervous I was going to lose the camera 😅
@@FivoNine it’s the worst feeling!
Nice. Batteries on the spartan need to be moved more towards the back and it needs turn fins
My first real boat I ended up getting as a TFL genesis. Catamarans are just so stable and the TFL is damn impressive. I did buy a proboat 17 brushless a couple months before and it just kept having issues. I’d say the M41 you had was some sort of l defective being you blew a motor that quickly.
Hey, do you own both the spartan and the m41? Like you have them both with you? I'm asking because I need the length and width of both hatches. The forums are useless for this particular info. Seems like nobody wants to talk about the m41.
Awesome video! What camera did you mount on the M41 for the cockpit view? Thanks a lot!
It was the Insta360 GO2
You should git the pro boat sonicwake v2 and grate video Fivo Nine
Speed and durability. Nice
Very nice. And I got a new light kit for my traxxas rustler 4x4
New Subscriber.
Great content 👍🏼 Love the comparison between the M41 & the Spartan. I have the M41 accompanied by the Horizon 30 Tugboat (Recovery Boat). Maybe give the Tugboat a Review also, then you will not have to go swimming all the time. Looking forward to more to come. Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Might have to check that out 👍
@@FivoNine You have ruined the driving experience for a lot of people that want to buy a boat. Your skills suc, and you should have practiced for a few years before comparing boats. Neither of you can drive a boat with this type of power. Maybe you should stick with crawlers instead. This video was a POS. You got the views, because most of us thought you would prove something. By this video you have proven both of these boats are junk, because your did not posses the skill to drive them.
Nice Video and goo runs. What PROP, are you using on the Traxxas Spartan ?
Both boats are all stock
wow what we got here ..
we have the same hobby boat control..
nice 👍
Would like to but ul 19 pro boat but cannot find anywhere any suggestions....thanks in advance
Legit video as always. What lake were you guys on?
Bear lake, Wa
Thank you
THANKS BRO 👍 SO. THE M41 IT IS… FOR ME NOW 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Fun watching yall bash these boats! Where did you place the batteries in the Spartan? Makes a huge difference in the handling. I run mine within an inch of full forward. Handles GREAT!
Middle position is for extremely smooth water and rear is for experimental running and perfect tuning along with smooth water.
I had them all the way in the front and they were pretty heavy batteries, I might have to try move them around and see what happens lol
Ok, so the spartan gets up in plane faster from a dead stop but can't handle the higher speeds as easily as a M41. Can this be fixed with tuning of the trim tabs and prop angle/depth? The better way to compare the two would be to tune them as best as you can and GPS their top speed, analyze their handling characteristics, things like that. I have a M41 and with zero tuning out if the box with stock prop and some not so powerful batteries, I GPS'd it at 49mph. Have you done this yet?
+1 on the trim tabs and stinger/prop angle/depth
At least get them "set-up" to run at optimal performance or personal preference performance.
awsome place!
Question for ya does the hatch from the spartan fit on the m41?
Not sure but probably not, the M41 hatch is more square lol
Does either the spartan or m41 have self righting? Thanks my man!!
They both Do not have it unfortunately
Between X-maxx and Losi DB XLE 2.0 which one should I go for?
My requirement is should be fun and fast along with durable
Obviously Xmaxx, the db xle is mor of a race truck, heavier, therefore less durable and less nimble than the xmaxx.
The fun factor of the xmaxx is over 9000.
Hahahahhaha losi for ever . Xmaxx is just a big cheap plastic and chep metal gears rc!! Big difference night and day!
Nice video
Thanks
My m41 cracked by the stabilizers. Never crashed it. So mine just takes in water. Traxxas said they’ll cover half
The o fivo, have you tried doing the thin with the spartan where you take the Velcro straps and move them up so it transfers the weight up more so at top speed it doesn’t loose stability and start to wheeli or in other terms just start to come up and act like a rocket ship,
If so move them upwards to the front more of the boat and the battery’s will make the weight keep it down jn the front
Yea I had the battery as far as I can get them and it would still pull up sometimes, I'll try messing around a little more
Idea: buy 10-15 boats, and try waterski behind them 😅
😂 😂
Dude perfect already did that behind 15 Traxxas Spartans
What batteries did yall use???
Well im not buying either of them now looks like spartan cant handle 6S and the M41 was a lemon
you can get other colors for the m41 yk
I’m dead 😂
How did you guys get it upright again?
@@FIVONINE. how do I text you?
Where is this? Reminds me of north Idaho
Yup north idaho, Hauser Lake and second Lake was Bear Lake
Looks almost like bear lake in the first clip. Maybe I’ll run into you guys out there eventually
Yup that's bear lake, maybe I'll see you out there....once in awhile I'll go out there with the boats 😁👍
@@FivoNine do you still just run the spartan and m41? I got a sonic wake v2 that I’d love to get out with some other boats
@Nathan Child Yea those are the only two boats are currently have 😁 Would be sick to run them together
What happen to M41's motor? How did u fix that?
Usually you can change the bearing but mine was so bad I just ended up getting a new motor
@@FivoNine thx for response, did you use some Spartan upgrades? Especially I mean trim and fins
@@mrosapl106 Not Yet, both boats are still all stock
M41 all the way 😎
Wow!!!!
I just bought both lol
Another great video ! I'd love to drag race those boats with my miss gieco ! I got my wife the sonic wake , so she can crash n go all day , I would love to have u call me sometime , watch you tube guys called DCRR from London I believe we should have a big Spokane show n go day like they do ! If you won't do it I'm gunna , get some of these rich rc guys to come out of there hiding spots , big five scales and everything else, I know it would exsplode , there's a ton of guys wanting to do this , just need some organizing, ,😅🤣😂😜 I can't even get past half throttle on miss gieco , without going airborne , ya always go with the catamaran boats on rough water they stay planted better , my 48 is really good on ruogh waters , drop me a note , if you want to do this thing , your the filming part of the day if you want to , this would be a blast twice a summer each year ,I'll do it you don't want to , watch for info , love to have you participate
Maybe soon I'll get the miss geico, really want that boat. That would be awesome I would totally be down. It would be sweet to organize something and race with some dudes. I want to do a park race with some guys and race around some cones and stuff.
@@FivoNine band b hobbies has a really good deal on a miss gieco right now , I'll let u no on the race day progress
The front seems to lift up too much, idk shit about rc boats lol but maybe adding some weight up front to keep it down?
Is this good for saltwater
Im not sure
You are both rookies and both boats are setup badly , but this video is good for what to expect out off the box.
Awesome video. Love from India. 🇮🇳
Thank you
m41 is heavier than the spartan which is why it jumps off the line a bit slower
If anybody is really trying to buy a boat, get a SonicWake v2 i’m pretty sure as of now it’s like the best all-around boat. Slap a 160 amp in it and they can do 8s right away.
I wonder are they safe on salt water V
@1:46 my boat did that. And i lost my gopro session 5😅
Looks like nacho cheese!
The spartan handles well, it just wasn't driven well tbh...
👍
Note to self, never get a spartan 😂 even on the calm water it constantly flipped
depends where you place batteries too tho
Move the batteries to the front it balance the boat
The cat chine walks alot. Trim tabs need adjustment.
I have a brand new m41 and mine cuts out all the time...!!!! Wtf
That's strange, not sure why it would do that. What batteries you running?
New traxxis batteries that came with it.....sending back speed controller....traxxis is gonna send me a new one
@@markjordan9357 that's pretty cool of them
'
i like best traxxas villain ev boat
Traxxis needs to up the game on boats. Pro boat is way better.
Mate proboat is pure shit these are top end boats the electrics in the pro boats a shit
You should get a blast
The cat is better in my opinion
I agree, handles better 😁
@@FivoNine yep , it will take way more power and you can throw about any battery combo on it
Add weight to the Spartan
Cat
Proboat
Your m41 setup is all wrong. Running way too wet and porpoising horribly. Set up right the m41 is faster
those traxxas boats are trash dude! the CG is way back .so they always lift. also the flexshafts are so lame ! for that price tag get a sonicwake or a tfl pursuit. watch : MY 8S SONICWAKE V2 NEW GRAPHICS. THE PUNISHER.
Mate traxxas is not trash not like that proboat shit
Your just jealous mate these are the best boats on the market go buy your shity pro boat enjoy trouble from the start
@@dalegunning2164 listen mate, watch the videos and then we can talk. you can watch ""ARIANE SPEED DEVIL PART 2
also ! or " PURSIUIT 8S FROM HELL" you could never do that kind of speed and drivimg with a shitty spartan or M-41
THUMBS DOWN!!!!
Any solutions if your boat flips or battery died middle of the lake ? 😏🫠
Either have a recovery boat or swim out 😂
Both suk if you sink them
