INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK
Spartan uses hook-and-loop straps
to secure the batteries. To install the
batteries, simply loosen the straps, slide
the battery pack beneath them, and
tighten the straps to hold the batteries
snugly against the battery tray's foam
pads. They should be tight enough to
prevent the batteries from sliding, but
should not be pulled excessively tight.
If you wish to use other positions in the
battery tray, simply remove the straps
and reinstall them in the additional channels provided. Assemble the
straps as shown in the illustration. (NiMH batteries shown; LiPo batteries
install the same).
Positioning the Battery Packs
• Battery Packs Forward: This is the standard battery position for
Spartan. Placing the battery packs at the front of the battery trays will
give Spartan the greatest stability in all water and wind conditions.
Always begin with the batteries in the forward position.
• Battery Packs Centered: Smooth water and calm winds may allow
you to move the battery packs rearward in the hull to allow the
bow to ride higher and increase Spartan's speed. Be aware that
positioning the batteries farther aft increases the likelihood of the
boat blowing over at speed or becoming unstable.
• Battery Packs Aft: Positioning the batteries all the way back in their
trays may provide higher top speeds but will also make Spartan more
prone to blowing over, spinouts, and instability. Experiment with this
position only in very calm conditions, and closely monitor the hull's
attitude as you increase speed.
