Maybe a stupid question but..Are the electronics in that boat waterproof?

Hmm I like the video of it running but it does not seem as fast as the Spartan on 6s. However I see it rides on the water and corners better than the Spartan video's i've seen so far..

I do hear what you all are saying about how the Spartan isn;t as good of a made boat being plastic etc, but I see them on e-bay going for $250 bucks with upgraded motors, The boat you linked will cost me around $450ish ...so is it worth it if I can snag a Spartan at say a $250 price tag off ebay or CL? of course that's a used one, which is ok with me as long as it runs/looks good. I really like the "Look" of the Spartan Boat. It's just "Cool" looking, plus I love going fast. If I bought the Spartan i'd upgrade the motor eventually. Hmm tough decisions here.....not sure what to do..
