Product Announcements September 2, 2011

Traxxas Boats Back in Stock with Upgraded Castle Creations ESC + Brushless Motor

The hottest RC speedboat on the market is back, and this time it features a brushless motor and ESC manufactured by Castle Creations! This long awaited update to the Traxxas Spartan eliminates concerns some customers have had about overheating the ESC and motor, which prior to the upgrade were both manufactured by Traxxas. Castle Creations’ exacting standards demand the utmost performance and reliability from their components so they are a perfect match for the Traxxas Spartan, one of the best RC boats available.

Castle Creations Marine ESC

The Castle Creations speed controller is water cooled – an intake on the side of the boat constantly forces cold water over the ESC to keep it within acceptable temperature limits. Marine Castle Creations ESC’s are not as sensitive to the size of the intake as their Traxxas predecessors are, which means that thermal shutdowns are virtually a thing of the past for the Spartan RC boat.

Castle Creations Brushless Motor

Featuring the same specifications as the Traxxas motor previously used, the new Castle Creations brushless motor is built to the same exacting standards as the updated speed controller. Additional improvements in design have kept the blistering performance and unbelievable torque of the previous version, while adding design elements that better control the temperature of the motor.

You can learn more about the Traxxas Spartan RC boat on our website.
