Traxxas Spartan Brushless Powered Boat Now with the NEW TQi 2.4Ghz Radio System - TRX5707-Blue

Traxxas Spartan Brushless Powered Boat Now with the NEW TQi 2.4Ghz Radio System (Blue)

Now featuring Castle™ Creations ESC and Motor!

Spartan is the kind of boat you would expect from Traxxas with extreme Velineon brushless power, ballistic speed and a huge rooster tail of water that continues to rain down long after this boat has passed by! 30+ mph out of the box with capabilities of 50+ mph with optional 6S Li-Po batteries, Spartan is clearly no slouch!

Spartan’s super rigid hull ensures extreme performance through the use of layered ABS sections, able to take the stresses of brushless power and lighter than an equivalent fibreglass hull. The transom bulkhead incorporates bosses for the trim tabs, turn fins, rudder support and drive strut, so eliminating the need for plywood doublers and other additional hardware inside the hull. Finally, moulded foam is fitted in the bow to stiffen the hull without adding unwanted weight.

An integrated tray containing all onboard electronics can be easily removed from the hull for maintenance, simply by loosening two screws. These moulded parts fit precisely into the hull for perfect alignment every time without the need for crude brackets or wooden stringers!

Power is provided by the incredible Velineon brushless motor system. The water-cooled 540XL brushless motor is coupled to a VXL-6s waterproof electronic speed controller for easy, no fuss operation. The speedo even includes Traxxas’ unique variable mode option where you can choose from 1 of 3 power settings. Training mode starts you off at 50% power whilst you’re getting used to the Spartan, then progress up through Sport to full power Race mode before experimenting with different battery packs.

NEW TQi 2.4Ghz Radio System is Compatible with the TQi Docking Base*
The TQi's most important new feature may already be in your pocket. The TQi can be equipped with an optional Docking Base (6510) that turns your iPhone® or iPod touch® into a powerful tuning tool for your Traxxas model. The full-colour display combines with the free Traxxas Link™ App to deliver an intuitive, high-definition, full-colour graphical user interface that unlocks the mysteries of optimising your radio system for ultimate vehicle control. Traxxas Link also opens the door to telemetry capability when you add optional sensors to your model.
