Got the All New Traxxas Catamaran M41Wide Body that just came out and my very first RC Boat. Playin in our backyard (Discovery Bay) at my buddy Joel's house against his Traxxas Spartan. Both these boats are stock and a whole lotta fun in the water!
The Catamaran vs The Spartan drag race. Prior to the these drag race video footage the Catamaran was able to beat the Spartan twice when both went head to head. As soon as I put the GoPro on it was a different story the Spartan was able to beat me with ease. The only excuse I can come up with is the weight of the GoPro cause the motor trimming to be out of wacked (more weight in the rear). I also flip the catamaran before the drag race on its top which the hull filled up with water and don't think I got all the water out causing more weight. I will also try to re-position the batteries more in the front to offset the GoPro weight. Stay tune for round #4. UDLUUZ is coming back for revenge!!
Shout out to:
Craig @ Delta RC Antioch for getting my hands on the first batch of M41Wide Body Catamaran

The gopro was definitely a factor in the races! I wanna see them with the same batteries and no gopros.

Aawww man amigo!!! Ur killing me !! I gots the cash in my pocket and can’t decide between the Spartan n the M-41. I love the catamaran look but the stability of the Spartan is admirable. Ur the man... ur so close to both these boats... make up my mind... which one shall I take off the store shelf????? Also, how did u mount the GoPro on the boat cuz I will surely be trying that!! Thanks and keep afloat!!

@shadowmaster1190 7 жыл бұрын

I have them both and the spartan is always faster

@alexandercaro7460 6 жыл бұрын

The reason the spartan is faster is because it planes so well the the v is almost completely out of the water, and catamaran is always touching the water with its bow causing more drag. And the batteries are both nimh

Believe it or not I found a killer deal on a Spartan and ordered it thinking it'd be faster than the M41 because of the size difference... Guess I was right! Awesome video man

@udluuz8797 8 жыл бұрын

Both are great boats you wont be disappointed. In my description and its unfortunate that I didn't capture it on video but I was able to beat the Spartan twice and same length as it beat me. I thought I would be able to capture it on the GoPro and was surprised it was reversed. I think the added weight of the GoPro changed the trimming of the prop. Also I had previously flipped the boat on its top and don't think I got all the water out adding more weight. We shall see again for round #4 this weekend. Thanks for watching

what is the advantages of each

@TurboDoggo 7 жыл бұрын

Spartan possibly has less friction to the water due to the single "V" shaped hull. The catamaran is more stable due to the two "toons" (if they are called that)

I know this "race" was all in good fun, that being said, if that version Spartan doesn't have TSM it will always launch harder than the M41 as the TSM prevents body roll by slowing the motor. Also the M41 has a goPro weighing it down. Thanks for the video. Thumbs up!

@udluuz8797 8 жыл бұрын

In the very beginning I was able to beat the Spartan twice same distance he beat me. But as soon as I put on the GoPro things were reversed. I believe the added weight changed the trimming on the prop. Also, there still could have been water in the hull when I flip it on its lid prior therefore adding more weight

it's not really a fair race.....the spartan will have the advantage if you run the same electronics and batteries just for the simple fact it will have less surface contact with the water even though the catamaran has the stability advantage it's also got a hell of a lot more surface in contact with the water at all times
