TUNING GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

The Traxxas Spartan raises the bar for reliable, high-performance 
RC boating. Never before has there been an R/C boat with 50+mph 
speed, waterproof electronics, stable handling, and the run-after-
run ruggedness you expect from Traxxas—all in a Ready-To-Race

®

 

package with stunning, factory-applied graphics. The Spartan is 
powered by an all-new brushless speed control and motor system 
developed specifically for high-performance marine use. The 
long-range TQi radio system keeps you in control with switch-
on-and-drive convenience. Stainless-steel turn fins and trim tabs 
allow stable, precise handling. The machined-aluminum drive strut 
and rudder assembly channel brushless power directly into the 
water for incredible speed, aggressive cornering, and blistering 
acceleration with a cascading roost that lets everyone know you’ve 
got the wildest ride on the water. 

Please keep in mind that this boat is not a toy, and is not intended 
to be used by children without responsible adult supervision. This 
is due to the inherent dangers that are always associated with any 
body of water. Please respect the water and use extreme caution 
when launching and retrieving boats. We’re confident that you will 
enjoy the power, speed, and reliability that the Spartan has to offer.

We know you’re excited about getting your new model in the 
water, but it’s very important that you take some time to read 
through the Owners Manual. This manual contains all the necessary 
set-up and operating procedures that allow you to unlock the 
performance and potential that Traxxas engineers designed into 
your model. 

Even if you are an experienced R/C enthusiast, it’s 

important to read and follow the procedures in this manual.

We want you to feel confident that you own one of the best-
performing models in the market and that it is backed by a team 

of professionals who aim to provide the highest level of factory 
support possible. Traxxas models are about experiencing total 
performance and satisfaction, not just with your model, but also 
with the company that stands behind it. We truly want you to enjoy 
your new model!
