Follow up videos should be very interesting. I've got the chine walking and the water in the bilges too. I'd like to buy the upgrades set, but as a beginner, I'm a bit vague on how to fit the various parts. Thank you for sharing.
Wonder if my Facebook videos sparked this purchase, since you commented on it trying to help. And you got the same color! Excited for the videos! Philip H.
@RCBoatBitz I just ordered a few things from you last night, dual sponson kit & the rudder. I'm doing some outside the box testing messing with adding Aero to the nose to push it down at high speed (created another UA-cam channel just for it)
@@h2omechanic yes wings work on boats, i used to play around with that myself many years ago, they start to work from around 60kph, share the channel name so i can watch
Great video dude, super informative trim tabs will be the first thing I sort out on my boat, then steering left turn is shocking 😂 then full motor and esc swap for more speed but so far loving the boat
@@RCBoatBitz Hiya bud, do you think you could put a basic upgrade package together for me out of your bits please? Stuff that will compliment everything else and improve it a bit, I have the Spartan v1
Pursuits are just such a good hull, its just a pity tfl doesnt package them like something a beginner would buy in a nice box and make them more rtr rather than needing to attach rudders and such
I race my pursuit in our local club on 4s and it blows the doors off my spartan on 6s. but it has some nice gear and that makes the difference.put a tenshock motor in itand it goes pretty good.
I have your twin water pickup and it works great. I put mine on a cat for racing . My spartan cuts out at full throttle and I use good batteries with a high c rating and from what I have read you cant change the LVC.I might just change the motor and speed control to something I can tweak.
I have a Enforcer Super Gator boat for 15 years. It is not a toy. I just bought a Spartan SR. Trailer too. Will see. The Super Gator is made out of fiberglass and have driven it in Lake Huron in 2 foot waves..
@@RCBoatBitz haha you’re telling me!! I’m almost tempted to add some weight down in the bottom of hull and see if that would stabilize it more. What’s your opinion on adding some weight??
its a plastic boat, not a great design, and basically overpowered for what it is. this is what folks buy who just want to go bash and dont know theres better options honestly. not bashing traxxas, but boats arent their thing

Yes ill definately be doing videos on the upgrades after i run out of ideas with the stock stuff

Everybody should own at least 1 spartan in their life, the challenge of getting them dialled in is part of the appeal

I have the M41 love it all decked out in your parts🇨🇦

Id probably put a better prop on before going to the expense of upgrading the electrics

I would buy the hull and run everything rcbb. Was going to buy a used one but got another pursuit to fix up. Love my pursuits .

I have that exact same boat, including the color. I’ll order it all those upgraded pieces from you about a month ago, it performs as well. 👍🏾👍🏾
Awesome, thanks for commenting 🙂

Prop too large maybe?

Your parts are so nice 💯
no idea how this got on my fy page but hell yeah ^_^
Can you help me tell if I have a battery limitation of 2200 mAh 4s, how many kV and ESC value I use to get speed, please help answer, thank you sir
I use clear masking tape to hold top cover in place
Thats a good tip
I have a spartan with a leopard 4082 and seaking 180 esc, very hard to get this boat past 65 and stay stable lol
i would think more like impossible! hull is just too light
@@RCBoatBitz haha you’re telling me!! I’m almost tempted to add some weight down in the bottom of hull and see if that would stabilize it more. What’s your opinion on adding some weight??
@@jaycevessier7554 at those speeds theres no other way to keep it in the water than add weight as youve found out
@jaycevessier7554 I'm literally trying this exact thing! I made a 4.3oz lead weight & trying it out in different positions in the hull
@@h2omechanic you wanna add total weight though. So you’d want same weight front and rear
Why the adjustments? You made it worse. Mine handles fine.
Made it worse? what???
mine went ok out the box

Plastic prop on the spartan is garbage.
You are correct
