Traxxas Spartan SR 6S 40" RC Speed Boat Brushless Deep-V RTR

If the Spartan SR flips, a flood chamber fills with water to pull the boat upright in seconds. Built-in foam flotation ensures proper buoyancy during this process and makes the 1016mm (40") craft virtually unsinkable. This clever design gets you back into the action immediately without needing a rescue boat or any special technical skills.

The 914mm (36") Deep-V hull gets on plane efficiently for maximum acceleration and high-speed stability. Its commanding presence is enhanced by bold, factory-applied graphics that offer a professional look right out of the box. Engineered to slice through chop or skim across glassy water, this hull provides a responsive and exhilarating 80.5km/h (50mph)+ experience.

Transforming 22+ volts into blistering speed, the VXL-6s Marine ESC is purpose-built 6S LiPo power. It pairs with the Velineon 540XL motor, featuring high-temperature sintered neodymium magnets. This combination provides the muscle needed to reach massive top speeds while integrated thermal overload protection ensures reliable performance on the water. All electronics are factory-optimised for maximum efficiency and power.

True waterproofing protection ensures the speed control, receiver, and high-torque 2056 servo remain dependable in wet environments. The patented sealed receiver box routes wires through a watertight O-ring seal, keeping your radio gear dry. With 5.76kg-cm (80oz-in) of torque, the waterproof steering servo delivers the responsive muscle required to handle high-speed turns with absolute authority and precision.

Machined from 6000-series aluminium, the rudder and drive strut provide maximum strength and a signature Traxxas look. Precision die-cut stainless steel trim tabs and turn fins allow for aggressive cornering "bite" and the perfect hull attitude. This high-strength hardware resists corrosion while ensuring razor-sharp handling and efficient power transfer during intense, high-speed racing sessions on the lake.

The heavy-duty 4.7mm (0.19") flex shaft is 25% larger in diameter for superior power handling and reliability. A quick-release clamping collet centres the cable perfectly with the motor’s output shaft for smooth operation. Maintenance is fast; simply loosen the collet with the included wrench to slide the flex cable and high-performance composite prop out for easy service.

An adjustable centre battery tray accommodates various LiPo configurations, allowing you to fine-tune the boat's balance. Rugged hook-and-loop straps and foam pads keep your batteries secure, preventing load shift during the roughest conditions. This flexible system ensures your power source stays tightly fastened while providing the stability needed for extreme, high-voltage brushless performance at any speed.

A high-efficiency water pickup in the aluminium rudder sends cool water directly to the ESC and motor. The sealed motor jacket flows water around the aluminium can for maximum heat transfer, keeping electronics cool run after run. A streamlined, integrated water outlet maintains the sleek hull profile, ensuring your 80.5km/h (50mph)+ speed machine operates reliably without any thermal issues.

The rigid ABS hatch uses a heavy-duty, low-profile clipless latching system for secure fastening and rapid access. Use the included tool or optional wingnuts for quick, toolless removal. Corrosion-resistant stainless-steel hex and nickel-plated hardware are used throughout the boat, providing long-lasting performance and a premium look that stays sharp even after many high-speed sessions at the pond.
