How did his motor freeze up from water? I got mine fully submerged inside and never had a problem with anything, and I had to cast my fishing pole and catch the back of the boat to reel it in. I had no problem and still don’t have a problem to this day with it turning on or anything it works just fine and I have cut my foot on them.
Adjustable trim tabs with the silver on it and it hurt like a son of a gun and I was bleeding from slicing my foot by accidentally stepping on it.
This is my buddies boat that I upgraded for him. He submerged when it was brand new and left it sitting for months without drying it out. I was just glad I was able to save it.
Great!! Kind regards from Germany, Chris
Thank you. Cheers brother..
WAIT....your steering is backwards!!! I just bought this exact boat and color. It has all the upgrades you show already and has never been used. It will be here in 48 hours and counting each minute. Thanks for the cool videos! New SUB.
You're welcome and yes I did have to reverse the steering. Hoping to get a video out on it soon. Thanks
Off shore electronics is where I get most all my rc boat goods.
Thanks for the info.. I'll check them out later today..
Offshore electric has some foam gasket tape you can use around the canopy that will help keep a lot of water out. I would suggest getting some canopy retention tape to help not only keep out water, but give you some more peace of mind at high speed running. Loosing a canopy sucks. Great looking boat. Offshore electric also has some large diameter cooling lines in some awesome colors! The tubing really helped keep my Sonicwake cool. The next thing I would humbly suggest would be converting to a 3/16 flex shaft. It will really open up your availability for different props, again available at OSE. Cheers from Texas
Thank you sir..! I really appreciate all this info and I'll call Jon and see what he thinks.. Cheers to you brother..
I noticed the rudder you installed on the Spartan is actually for the DCB M41 boat. That's why the extra length for it. How did this perform on the Spartan? Great Video - thanks !!!
Haven't took it out yet but have plans to show how it preforms soon. BTW good eye cause I just thought it was HR version of it.
(5x14x5mm) was the replacement bearings for my spartan but I have the older modle with the castle creations 1420-1800kv. I'm pretty sure there the same
Thanks for the info.. She's ready for the water and can't wait to test it out. I think she'll do great.

hi. greate video...i.just bought mine and all these upgrades...question : does the water come inside the hull without using tape ? just closing it with the back clip. thanks.
Thank you and yes you will want to use waterproof tape on the lid. And try not to reverse unless you have to. It seems to get water in from the rear of the lid even when using tape.
@@nwirc yrs i can see the back of the lid is nor flat ...is it too much ?
@@eduardonessim4499 It doesn't take in that much water at all after taping. Just be sure to recover it right away if the boat flips upsidedown.
Very good video! I’m actually about to do all of these upgrades on this exact boat and was looking for a video just like this. I hope your able to do part 2 and show the install of the dual water outlet and hose lines. Such a hard looking boat! Great job :) one question.. why the change of servo? Was the stock Traxxas servo damaged or not strong enough?
I'll be working on part 2 this weekend but probably won't publish for 3 week do to other videos being scheduled.. My friend Jon had gotten water into this boat and he never dried it out. The water damaged the stock servo and the motor bearings.. I'm sure a stock Traxxas servo would work fine but he wanted to upgrade it.. Part 3 will be the running video but need to wait for the weather to cooperate.. Thanks
@@nwirc gotcha! Yeah I figured the stock servo was sufficient but also considered going with a Savox waterproof monster like I have in my Blackfoot. I love them! I was also considering doing the rest of the Hot Racing upgrades as well but can’t find the battery coolers anywhere other than China… so yeah screw that I will wait till they become available in the states again. With the dual water intake I was wondering if you were gonna do the hose ferrels that are available or just gonna run the extra tube into the boat through the basic hole you drill? Anyways very thorough video and very precise work done! This is the way you work on RC vehicles people!
@@jasondizzwalker7535 I'll have to let Jon know about the battery coolers.. I know he'll wait for them to come available in the US too.. I'm going with blue hose ferrules.. The plan is I'm going to drill the stock hole and drill a new hole. I'm also going to use a tap and thread both holes. I need to find that tap and hoping it's available at my local hardware store.. Otherwise I may just drill a second hole and run them like stock for now. I can always thread the holes later..
@@nwirc awesome! Thanks again! Can’t wait to check out part 2 :) nice job again!
How do you keep it from ever getting water?
It's my buddy's boat that I had upgraded. He hasn't put it in the water yet .
NOTE! You do not have to take everything out to install the HR cooling jacket
Thanks for the tip.
Pretty sweet bro
Thank you.. Going to give it a test run soon..
Wait the trim tabs have a left & right ??? You Fn with us my guy ?
Lol no sir.. They will only go on one way. I think I showed why in the video.
@@nwirc I've had mine on the boat ways. 🤔 the video has a jump cut right after you say pro tip
@@RoostedFilms Sorry about the jump cut. There was a little notch that was cut out on the right trim tap from HR.. I couldn't get the left side to work on the right. Do you have all HR upgrades on the back of your boat like this one..? Or look at one of your HR trim taps and see if it knotched out on one of them.
@@nwirc So far I only have the trim tabs and steering fins. Negative on a botched out part but the top corners on both tabs are cut at a 45° angle. The tab is basically touching the rudder mount. It's a tight fit bit it all just clears. Maybe they changed the design of the part ? Anyway thanks for the info amd sweet build man 👍🏻
@@RoostedFilms Thwy very well could have changed the design. At the end of the day they look great.
Wow 1 flip over and the boat is toast not good
Very true. Just got to be careful
