Which boat should i go with? I no the spartan has been a nightmare for a lot of people. But it sounds like the new Castle set up has been treating people pretty well. The 31 looks like an awesome boat to. Im worried that its not going to be quick enough for me on 2-2s lipo. And i don't plan on doing many mods other than a prop. help me out guys! impulse owners and spartan owners your input would be very much appreciated along with everyone else. Thanks.

I have been a member of the Spartan nightmare club, so when I received my updated Castle goodies I stripped the Spartan and put the new motor and ESC and all the hardware into an old Seaducer and now I am having fun instead of nightmares.....

great choice!!Originally posted by slowride View Post
I had a spartan and sold that sucker, and I've had one of these Impules boats in my hand
I've said it before and will say it again, the Impulse is the best RTR boat out right now IMO
just the feel of it in my hands says quality that blows away the cheap feel of the spartan.....NAMBA20...Caterpillar UL-1, P-Spec OM29, P-Mono DF33, P-Spec JAE, Aussie 33" Hydro-LSH, Sprintcat CC2028 on 8s, PT SS45 Q Hydro, PS295 UL-1 power, OSE Brothers Outlaw QMono 4-sale, Rio 51z CC2028 on 8s

RTR to RTR, the Impulse or Pursuit are heads and tails over the Spartan.
But you did a nice job with that Spartan. To bad Traxxas didnt build one that went that nice. ;-)Steven Vaccaro

And i will agree fiberglass fe boats are built better than a composite but they are far from a "junky toy" toys dont run that fast i have been trying to find me a good deal on a impulse 31 for my next projectIF IT DON'T GO FAST WHY HAVE ITComment

I tried using a GPS for an enduro once LOL! Stock odometer and a pair of stop watches were far more accurate!
That is really moving out though! I'd like to see times over a measured distance.If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

The hill they are climbing is that AS ORIGINALLY RELEASED, they are "junky toys". There isnt much to support otherwise.Originally posted by rinski73 View Post
What the second release brings is to be determined.Steven Vaccaro

that plus you can make radio shack boats fast if you mod them enough...comes down to skill and engineering look at riggers there is nothing to them but theyre fast somehowComment
