70 and 90 are a long way apart when you start getting up to those speeds. I def wouldn't try four 6s packs, more weight is gonna slow you down.

I have a spartan and very much doubt that hull will handle those speeds, love to see it but you will struggle with chine walk . If you want huge speeds like the others said start with a bigger better hull

[Zackthrills]

well my goal is to try. And if I blow the boat up the hell with it it should have been built better. If its not fast enough I'll get a bigger one.

I hope that's not for real as I have seen guys on YouTube with the boat hitting 60 70 miles per hour. I plan on doing a drive shaft flex Mod. the leopard motor the off set rudder with dual pickups and the Tringy esc 180. Adjustable trim tabs, turn fins, octura prop, oh the leopard motor is the 4082 with 2200 kV. I have two 6s 6000mah 80-120c packs that I plan on running with it. question do you think that I can run 4 6s packs in parallel with it beeing as two 12c packs ? or is it just not achievable?

Here's a tip, don't bother posting that you hope to achieve 90mph with a spartan unless you want an argument on here.
Just post a video when you get it out there.
Unrealistic is a good word for your goals with these boats tho

I doubt you will be able to do 90 mph, that's a little unrealistic. This boat barely breaks 50 mph on a slightly modified setup. What mods are you planning?

hey everybody just wanted to let you know I'm getting my Traxxas Spartan in on Monday and I have all the upgrade available for it ready to rock n roll. Going to make its first maiden voyage on Tuesday with my misguided 17 that I extremely modified. Will post both videos Tuesday afternoon after I run it planning to run 6 s 80 to 100 C 6000 mah with upgrade flex shaft Oct or a prop leopard motor I just will trim tabs and turns fins.my goal is to make my Traxxas do 90 miles per hour. And hopefully make my miss geico 17 hit 60 miles per hour that is my goal. Any tips on modifying the Traxxas Spartan are welcome.
