Click Here To Subscribe! ► - THiS iS SPARTA..n :~) Yup, it's about time I bought a boat to try going up a stream with. I know its a bit unconventional - but I have this "vision". I want to try something, and for me to do it - I need a Spartan from Traxxas. Thankfully my local hobby store (www.pmhobbycraft.ca) always has a few of these in stock! Today I pulled the trigger and brought one home. I wanted to unbox it right away and go out and play - but I know the RC ADDiCTS of the YouTube land always enjoy seeing an unboxing video! So, I am holding back.. and will make it out tomorrow - I'm sure!
As for going into great detail on camera about it - I don't really want to make a Traxxas "commercial" - but I know some of you would like further details on the specs - so..
