Key Features

  • Waterproof Hull Protection — The hull cover creates a sealed barrier that prevents water from reaching your boat's electronic components, which is essential for protecting the motor, ESC, servo and battery from corrosion and electrical damage during extended play sessions on water.
  • High-Quality Switch Bolt Mechanism — The included switch bolt provides secure fastening of the hull hatch, allowing you to easily open and close the cover without worry that it will come loose during high-speed runs or in rough water conditions.
  • Genuine Volantex Component — This is an authentic replacement part manufactured by Volantex specifically for their Vector S boat range, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your existing RC boat without any modifications required.
  • Durable Construction — Built to withstand the rigours of regular use in water environments, this hull cover is manufactured from quality materials that resist cracking and degradation from exposure to water and UV sunlight.
  • Easy Installation — No assembly or special tools are required; simply replace your existing hull cover and bolt, and you are ready to get back on the water within minutes, making this an ideal spare part to keep on hand.
  • Colour-Matched Design — The green finish matches the aesthetic of select Volantex boat models, maintaining the professional appearance of your RC boat whilst providing critical protection for your investment.

Technical Performance

The Volantex hull cover and switch bolt assembly is engineered specifically for the Vector S 797-5 RC boat model, which features a powerful water-cooled brushed motor system and advanced electronic speed control. The Vector S represents the pinnacle of compact RC boat engineering, with a brushed motor delivering excellent performance at speeds up to 40 kilometres per hour for the brushed version. The hull cover plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of this high-performance system by creating a complete waterproof seal around the electronics bay. The switch bolt mechanism is precisely engineered to provide consistently reliable fastening cycle after cycle, whether you are using your boat for casual pool play or competitive racing in rivers and lakes. Given that the Vector S features a high waterproof design system where a single cover prevents water ingress into the boat's electronic equipment, this replacement hull cover is absolutely critical to the long-term reliability and durability of your investment. The construction quality ensures that the cover seats properly against the boat's hull, creating an effective water seal that protects the 9-gram servo, 7.4V battery system and brushless electronic speed control from moisture damage. For UK RC enthusiasts who demand performance and reliability from their ready to run RC boats, this genuine replacement part ensures your Vector S boat continues to deliver the speed, stability and waterproof protection it was engineered to provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is this hull cover compatible with all Volantex RC boats? — No, this hull cover and switch bolt is specifically designed for the Volantex Vector S brushed model 797-5. Always verify your boat model number before purchasing replacement parts to ensure correct fitment and functionality.
  • How do I install the hull cover and switch bolt? — Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools. Simply remove your existing hull cover by unscrewing the switch bolt, position the new hull cover in place, and secure it with the included switch bolt by turning it clockwise until snug. Do not over-tighten as this may damage the cover or bolt.
  • Why is the hull cover so important for my RC boat? — The hull cover creates a waterproof seal that prevents water from entering your boat's electronics compartment where the motor, ESC, servo and battery are located. Water ingress can cause electrical failure, corrosion and permanent damage to these components, so a properly sealed hull cover is essential for longevity and reliability.
  • Can I use this cover if mine has cracked or become damaged? — If your current hull cover has cracks, splits or is no longer creating a proper seal around the electronics bay, replacement is essential. A damaged cover cannot provide adequate water protection, which puts your expensive RC boat electronics at risk of damage.
  • What colour options are available for the Volantex hull cover? — This replacement part is available in green. Always select the colour that matches your boat model for aesthetic consistency, and verify you are ordering the correct colour before checkout.
  • How often should I replace my hull cover? — With proper care, a hull cover should last for many seasons of regular use. However, if you notice the cover becoming loose, cracked, warped or no longer sealing properly around the hull, it is time to replace it to maintain waterproof protection for your boat's electronics.
