Overview
Upgrade the rudder and cooling on your Traxxas Spartan RC boat with the Hot Racing CNC Aluminum Dual Pickup Rudder Blade. CNC-machined from billet aluminum and finished in clean blue anodizing, this rudder replaces the factory plastic TRA5740 rudder blade with a more rigid, more durable, and dual-water-pickup design that improves both steering response and motor cooling.
The dual water pickup design feeds two separate cooling lines for additional motor and ESC cooling — a serious advantage for high-power Spartan builds where heat management is critical to long-term reliability and performance.
