TUNING GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

The Traxxas Spartan raises the bar for reliable, high-performance 
RC boating. Never before has there been an R/C boat with 50+mph 
speed, waterproof electronics, stable handling, and the run-after-
run ruggedness you expect from Traxxas—all in a Ready-To-Race

®

 

package with stunning, factory-applied graphics. The Spartan is 
powered by an all-new brushless speed control and motor system 
developed specifically for high-performance marine use. The 
long-range TQi radio system keeps you in control with switch-
on-and-drive convenience. Stainless-steel turn fins and trim tabs 
allow stable, precise handling. The machined-aluminum drive strut 
and rudder assembly channel brushless power directly into the 
water for incredible speed, aggressive cornering, and blistering 
acceleration with a cascading roost that lets everyone know you’ve 
got the wildest ride on the water. 

Please keep in mind that this boat is not a toy, and is not intended 
to be used by children without responsible adult supervision. This 
is due to the inherent dangers that are always associated with any 
body of water. Please respect the water and use extreme caution 
when launching and retrieving boats. We’re confident that you will 
enjoy the power, speed, and reliability that the Spartan has to offer.

We know you’re excited about getting your new model in the

performing models in the market and that it is backed by a team
