***NEW**** Pro Boat Voracity 36" Mono!!

[rcdad2]

I've been seeing videos of Traxxas Spartans doing 70. I can't wait for pro boat fans to get their hands on this gem. Kinda makes me sorry I just dumped a load of cash on upgrades to my impulse v2.

I'm pretty sure this boat will exceed that.

Hi Rafael:

What is the transom doubler made out of? Looks like white plastic.

I think I saw somewhere he says its 5mm abs

Yes, ABS.

Nice boat.

I'm hoping that some people try to refrain from doo - dooing in this thread. Boat looks killer so no need for any dog doo.

If Jim Johnson complimented it that is a feat in itself. Jim isn't new to rc boating by any stretch of the imagination. A very opinionated seasoned racer I would say. Seems like all i's are dotted and t's crossed. Maybe q class is the solution to p ltd racing. But that is neither here nor there

Wow end of season for us Michigan guys... Home run...

Transom is backed with 5mm ABS. I didn't want anything porous in the boat that could take in water and expand. This seemed like the best solution.

Here is a short 6s "bash" session from last Thursdays testing. I hit something with my right turn fin so the boat started skipping a bit in tight right hand turns. It becomes noticeable around :27.

Great run!

What were the specs of the batteries you were running, i.e. capacity? I am in the process of ordering some batteries for this boat, but would like to know the run times you were achieving with those types of runs. Been years since I have been in the R/C hobby, mainly did the 1/10 scale trucks and buggys in the early-late 90's, but battery and motor technology has come along way, plus the boats tend to be more power demanding etc.

Rafael you guys hit this one out of the park! Poor traxxas people...lol
You guys should rename it the spartan killer!!! lol

Tangent.

Darin, I noticed this comes with an SR310 receiver. Is this the "go to" rx for a the Spektrum these days? Running out of MR200's and some of my 3000's are from 2009. The end is near for them me thinks.

I have found that the SR310, SR410, etc., actually have a LONGER range than the MR series. They are also "water-resistant", and the fancier versions (SR4210 I think, etc.) support AVC.

So, YES, I'd say it's these are solid.

I think the MR series has been, or will soon be, discontinued. Marine market is just too small to provide a solid business case for a Marine Specific RX.

[T.S.Davis]

I've seen guys running the cheapo 201 version too. No issues yet but made me nervous just watching.

Just wanted your 2 cents.

The marine units were "water resistant" but they worked submerged. I'm thinking the new units are a tic less "resistant".

[Darin Jordan]

I'm thinking the new units are a tic less "resistant".

I would actually say they are more-so...

Thanks for the video.

Here is another video I was unaware that we had uploaded already. "This is how we do it during testing"
