Put the batteries as far forward as you can to stop the porpoising (hopping in the water) and if you did that you may need ballast. If it still doesn't work, you should be able to adjust the prop to push the front end down.
I'm thinking 1/4 oz lead centered up about 8 inches from the nose would help the nose stay down and prevent the flip. Nice video thanks for posting. I love watching all the first time runs.

Hello from Norway. Wonderful boat I've had myself. Traxxa's stock quality. Spartan is wonderful. Two days ago I ordered a brand new boat. PRO BOAT MISS GEICO ZELOS 36 CATAMARAN RTR. I've been wanting this boat for a long time. Now it's on my way home to me. Two 6-cell battery on each battery. 120Km / h + a monster of a boat.
I went with a catamaran myself. Mine isn't a Traxxas though. Mine is the (now discontinued) ProBoat Zelos Twin. Two motors, two escs. Does 65 mph with two 6s 50c 6000mah batteries. My buddy has the Traxxas M41. I am going to also get the ProBoat Sonicwake which is a v hull but with self righting. The Zelos doesn't have self righting but is very stable at speed. The Sonicwake will be good for choppy waters and won't have to worry about flipping it.
haha cool video Ive owned two Spartans, one stock one completely modded. Stock is a little too much RPM on 6s, hot ESC, and the flexshaft won't last that long on 6s. The modded spartan was a 1600kv Leopard 4082, sea king 180 amp ESC and a 3/16 flexshaft with a 42mm CNC prop. Night and day difference, a little bit faster but WAY more stable and reliable. Everything ran cool to the touch and never broke a flexshaft. Nice boat when modded
I appreciate your comment here. What about water getting into the hull? Would you get this or the sonicwake if you were to buy again and had to choose between the two. The pro boat sonicwake has self righting and is also 6s. Looking for a first amd last boat. I don't want to get into it like I am with my land RCs.
@@jcallesano sonicwake 100% I had the sonicwake and it was incredibly fun, never gave me any issues and it takes a lot of stress out when the boat self rights. It’s not even a contest in my opinion
Seeing as you must drive through Terrace to get to Price Rupert, stop on in at Kickstart Motorsports! I would enjoy meeting you, and our one tech here has a badass turbo maverick!
I have a question. Was that a boat launch at that lake in BC? Wondering if the water got deeper the further you went down it? I know they aren't all like that but I had this one friend.....
Get a pro boat sonic wake has self righting so don’t have to worry about swimming and the hull is very strong and the electronics are way better then traxxas
this would work great for taking my shark baits out 150 yards in florida instead of kayaking.. too damn freaky seeing fins next to the kayak at night. sweet video
Yes, there is a channel on YT (sorry i cant remember the name) of some guys out in Austrailia who have set their rc boat up to take the line way the heck out there and it releases it soon as a fish hits it or either they set up where they can push button to release it when they get it where they want it. But they have caught some monsters using RC boats and drones to drop their lines way off shore.
@@teeshark6584 since I posted this comment 3 years ago I bought one of those boats and rigged a actuated bait release system on the back powered by a servo that releases the bait when I flip a switch on the radio. It works like a charm except for when weeds are floating by.
Wow, I was kinda of surprised to see a Traxxas engineered toy seem so wonky at high speeds. I have a Pursuit hull same size boat as the Traxxas. It will do 58mph on a 4s in parallel (i think im saying it right, the config is not 8s but twice the run time as 1 - 4s) basically to balance the boat out. It will do 72mph on 6s but its highly tuned for racing on NAMBA circuit. Mine does the same thing at high speeds. I wonder if more weight in the front would help it from bouncing around and popping up in the air like that? I think it would slow it down too much so the trade off wouldnt be worth it. When you can find water as smooth as glass these boats are amazing though. I also have a huge 52" Inforcer hull. Its much wider than the Traxxas hulls and a good foot or more longer. But the mixed fuel (gas) engine in it will only go about 30-35mph. I wish i could figure out how to make it run faster so I could see how it handles the chop.
What happens is if you hit a fish in the water that will happen we have the gas boats I could do 92 miles an hour with a 57" boat What kind of cars do you have I am looking for a king Blackfoot RC truck do you have One of those please comment back
I have this boat and it does NOT hop like yours does. Mine stick to the water and with a 2200kv castle motor i am pushing 55+ mph. keep the batteries in the forward position.
well you could use the batteries as a balance weight the more you push them forward the more nose heavy you get and these boats do have trim plates you can bend to get them sit nose down, its all about tuning your setups with these things but the more nose down your boat the more stable but the more hull is in the water and the more drag you have
IT VERSES,,,,BUT DOSENT HAVE A SELF RIGHTNING SYSTEM(FOR A 5/600$6S BRUSHLESS BOAT COOMMEEE OONNN!!! DOES THE DCB M41 HAVE IT??BECAUSE THAT,,,,,IS GONNA DETERMIN WHICH I BUY
MEGAGEIL :) Klebt die Abdeckung mit Teasfilm oder Klebeband ab! So kommt kein Wasser ein. Ich habe ein Eigenbau Rennboot. 40cm lang und 90kmh schnell :)
As a owner of a spartan i have to say the hull design sucks. It’s not waterproof in any way, if you crash, the boat WILL fill up with water and destroy them in worst case. I’ve had to replace the motor and ESC twice.
I love these boats but I will stick to Rc cars because I'm scared that if I crash of lose signal in the middle of the lake I have to swim all the way to get it and for a Rd car you just need to walk a feet meters
omg I fucking love in burns lake just 2 hour past prince George. you should stop at my high school on the left and cone see us my friend loves your vids to
Nice to see the RC run...... Big questions..... where is the Life Jacket for the children ? I pulled to many bodies from the water, where just a simple Life Jacket would've SAVED many lives. As per most investigations we have conducted, the PARENTS "ALWAYS" seem to fell that they'll SAVE the children if a mishap occurs, NOT TRUE ! Seeing the Truck in the background and the $550.00 boat... I sure would like to see a Life Jacket on the boys. Your WORLD WILL CARSH if anything happen to them I'm sure.

Be careful Traxxas boats will sink. Add some extra foam and tape down the lid around the whole seam before each run.
People with money don't care 😒 like this one

fantastic ! loving that crash ! cant seem to get my best crashes on video ,,,,well done!
When it snows you can drive it in the snow and it looks wicked cool!
Great video of the Spartan!!!...helps me more with getting this boat!
That's funny, I'm bitching about no slow mo on the flip and then there it is at the end!!! well done my friend
haha thank you
That walking at hi speed is why I'm getting a catamaran😁 -really nice boat y'all have👍

dont reverse too much - dumps loads of water into the hull

Looks like a AWESOME fishing spot!
Nice maiden run with the Spartan, i had mines do the very same thing on 6s, first time out.
Good camera work! Thanks for that.
Did mama bear and papa bear get it on during the interludes?
What a gorgeous place to play ❤👍

I have talked to him, was gonna sell him my stock bumper of my Mav. Next time!
Set your batteries more towards the front
I had them up front. Just needed to adjust the sponsons
I have a question. Was that a boat launch at that lake in BC? Wondering if the water got deeper the further you went down it? I know they aren't all like that but I had this one friend.....
I live in Prince George wish I would of been at purden so I could of met you, been a fan for years.
Dang that woulda been sweet...next time! lol
Great video. That's a smooth lake!
You should put a go pro on it!
when it flipped it looks exactly like a big one when they go. how long does the battery last?
a good 25 to 30 mins on 6s ripping pretty good. ya when air gets under it she flips quick lol
Boat is Sweet ! Been eyeballing that one for years.. Mods coming ?
Man it's a blast! Gonna throw some awesome parts on it
Get a pro boat sonic wake has self righting so don’t have to worry about swimming and the hull is very strong and the electronics are way better then traxxas
The Spartan is a FAR better Traxxas product than the Blast. I wish I had ponied up the extra money for a Spartan.

I am a few hours North of Stoon
+ostacruiser should come down to yorkton somtime soon bring the renegade lol
Traxxas makes some sick stuff. I had one of their early buggies the Traxxas bullet. it was fast but not like this new stuff
Супер пацаны! Всегда за вами наблюдаю! Приезжайте в Сибирь отдохнем!
does that have an upgrade
Was that at 30 miles an h or was that 50?
What kind of battery are you using on the boat
Adam lyzwa dual 3s traxxas 5000mah
Always wondered what you do for work?
Watch you a lot. What do you do for work?
omg, that thing is super fast! how much does it go for????????????
GOOD TIME'S WITH RICH 400$ US on amazon.com
what was the top speed you got?
how much was it?
What happens is if you hit a fish in the water that will happen we have the gas boats I could do 92 miles an hour with a 57" boat What kind of cars do you have I am looking for a king Blackfoot RC truck do you have One of those please comment back
To tape up the lid, is a MUST...
I was just in Prince George I've been to that lake so many time. I live in burns lake
So nice around there!
+ostacruiser Yess should stop by
I have this boat and it does NOT hop like yours does. Mine stick to the water and with a 2200kv castle motor i am pushing 55+ mph. keep the batteries in the forward position.
The batteries were all the way forward but my sponsons on the back were not adjusted properly. It is much better now
is the m14 a little more stable?
Rancherman420 yezzir
thx
Obviously the insides are water-proof?
Wait, I thought the Spartan didn’t have reverse?
great now I want one of these too
too bad u could put a touch of weight up front to keep it down and from flipping..might get more speed
yea something
gopro maybe?
Mathew Thompson go pro be awsome.lol
HELL YA A GORPRO!
well you could use the batteries as a balance weight the more you push them forward the more nose heavy you get and these boats do have trim plates you can bend to get them sit nose down, its all about tuning your setups with these things but the more nose down your boat the more stable but the more hull is in the water and the more drag you have
is a traxxas spartan fiberglass?
No itS PLASTIC! That why I like proboat cause there hull are fiberglass
how much did that cost?
400 ebay
So Great pro💯 I've bought one like it💙 Traxxas Spartan🚤 & nice 4K Video📹
I think somethings wrong with your transom because the water is smooth and your boat keeps bouncing up and down either that or your prop
I didn't know the boats could do the truck flips too!!??
tape the lid on it will help keep the water out.
the self righting option was worth the money
definitely need to adjust your trim tabs down. front end is floating too bad
Will do...those were the first 2 runs...got er more dialed in now
+ostacruiser the spartan is a bad ass boat. my neighbor has 2 we mess with. was those runs on 6s or 4s?
Is RC aviation next?
Somethings wrong with your trim your boat keeps bouncing up and down
Yes I have it fixed now
where in Canada do you live ostacruiser?
