Radio Tray Removal

Spartan’s unique power module 
allows you to easily remove 
the motor, drive system, and 
electronics as a unit for easy 
access to the hull interior. With 
the power module removed, 
you can easily work on the drive 
system or electronics without the entire hull taking up your bench 
space. To remove the power module, follow these steps:

1.   Loosen the drive cable collet. 

Using the two 10mm wrenches 
supplied, grip the collet base and 
collet clamp. Rotate the parts away 
from each other in the direction 
shown to loosen the clamp. You 
do not have to fully unthread the 
collet, it will take less than one full 
rotation to loosen the clamp.

2.   Remove the drive cable. Pull the propeller away from the drive 

strut. The cable will come out with the propeller. There is no need 
to remove the prop from the cable. 

3.   Remove the steering linkage. Use the supplied 2.5mm wrench to 

unthread the 15mm screw in the servo arm and disengage the 
steering linkage. 

4.   Unplug the water cooling outlet tube (A) and inlet tube (B).
5.   Loosen the retaining screws. Use the supplied 2.5mm wrench to loosen the screws approximately 5 full 

turns. It is not necessary to remove these screws, only loosen them.

6.   Gently lift the power module from the motor end. If it does not release easily from the hull rails, loosen the 

retaining screws another turn. 

7.   Slide the power module forward. Gently pull on the module to slide the tabs out of the slots in the hull rails. 

Note:

 Sometimes the stuffing tube sticks in the seal. Extra force may be required to break it free.
