hi, is the new traxxas spartan hull more stable than old one? no chine walking?

The hulls are identical, the only difference was the cooling system and motor/esc.

They did change the hull somewhat. Check out offshore electrics forum for more info on it. Mods please edit if this violates any forum rules not intending to violate. http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...w-Observations

Hrmm, wonder when they made the changes. I saw a thread somewhere else comparing the hulls right after the revised cooling/electronics came out and they said it was identical.

Might have been using up old stock before rolling out the V2 hulls.

That's entirely possible. In any case, the differences don't look like they will effect chinewalk (positive or negative) in any way.

I can't comment on the V1 as I only own the V2. I installed the second set of trim tabs and use 2s lipos for a 4s set up and don't experience any noticeable chine walk. I assume the guys running 6s are experiencing chine as a result of pushing the limit of this boat. It's not a competitive racing boat, so unless you push it to the limit it shouldn't be a problem. If 6s is your goal then another boat made of fiberglass would be better suited to your intentions. Of your looking for a super fun boat to bash around with it fits the bill perfectly.
