Overview
The Volantex RACENT Vector 28 Water Proof EVA Sealing Gasket V795107 is a premium replacement seal component designed specifically for the Volantex Vector series of high-performance RC boats. This waterproof gasket is an essential maintenance part for any serious RC boat enthusiast in the UK who demands reliability and durability on the water. Whether you're racing across a local lake, competing in RC boat championships, or simply enjoying weekend water sports with your ready to run RC boat, maintaining proper sealing is critical to protecting your investment and ensuring peak performance.
Built from advanced EVA sealing material, this gasket provides superior water resistance and prevents ingress of water into critical components of your Volantex Vector motorboat. The EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) construction offers exceptional flexibility, chemical resistance, and durability across a wide range of operating temperatures. As a genuine Volantex replacement part, it is engineered to exact specifications to ensure perfect fitment with your Vector series boat, whether you own the Vector XS Mini, Vector 30, Vector S, or other Vector models in the Volantex RC boat range.
This is an ideal replacement part for owners who have noticed water seepage around seals, are performing routine maintenance on their brushed or brushless RC boat motors, or are rebuilding their vessel after extended use. Purchasing genuine OEM gaskets from RC Model Shop ensures you receive authentic Volantex components that meet manufacturer standards, rather than inferior third-party alternatives that could compromise your boat's waterproofing and performance.

Technical Performance
The Volantex RACENT Vector 28 Water Proof EVA Sealing Gasket represents precision engineering in RC boat maintenance components. EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) is the gold standard material for marine sealing applications because it combines flexibility with exceptional resistance to water, chemicals, and UV exposure. This gasket is designed to work seamlessly with Volantex's range of water-cooled brushed motors found in their Vector motorboat series, including models like the Vector Lumen 795-6 RTR (equipped with a 180A powerful water-cooled brushed motor), the Vector 30 795-8 series, and other Vector variants. The water cooling system in these RC boats relies on precision seals to ensure water flows through the motor jacket without leaking into sensitive electronic areas. A worn or degraded gasket can result in water infiltration that damages the ESC, servo, battery connections, and motor windings. By replacing your gaskets proactively during regular maintenance schedules, you protect the entire electrical system of your RC boat. The material's chemical resistance ensures it performs reliably whether you're operating in freshwater lakes, garden pools, or other aquatic environments. The durability of EVA means this gasket will maintain its sealing properties across repeated compression and decompression cycles during normal operation and maintenance access. Genuine OEM Volantex gaskets are engineered to the exact dimensional specifications required for the Vector series, ensuring a perfect fit without gaps or leakage points that could compromise waterproofing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is this gasket used for on my Volantex RC boat? — This EVA sealing gasket is a replacement seal component used in the water cooling system and motor assembly of Volantex Vector series motorboats. It prevents water from entering electrical components and sensitive areas while allowing the cooling water flow to reach the brushed motor. When gaskets wear out or degrade through extended use, water can leak into areas it shouldn't reach, causing electrical damage.
- How often should I replace the gasket on my Vector RC boat? — Gaskets should be inspected regularly during maintenance, typically every 10-15 hours of operation or whenever you notice any water seepage around seals. If your boat has been used extensively or stored for long periods, it's good practice to replace gaskets as preventative maintenance. EVA gaskets gradually harden and lose flexibility over time, even if they appear visually intact.
- Is this gasket compatible with all Volantex Vector models? — This V795107 gasket is designed for the Volantex RACENT Vector series. Compatibility extends across the Vector motorboat range including the Vector XS Mini 795-4, Vector 30 series (795-8G, 795-8Y), Vector Lumen 795-6, and Vector S models. Always verify the model number of your boat before ordering to ensure correct compatibility.
- Can I use aftermarket or generic gaskets instead of the genuine Volantex part? — While generic gaskets may appear similar, they often don't meet the exact specifications of Volantex designs and can result in poor sealing, water leakage, and electrical damage. Genuine OEM gaskets like this V795107 are engineered to precise tolerances and made from approved materials. Investing in authentic Volantex components protects your expensive RC boat electronics and motor.
- What tools do I need to replace this gasket? — Most gasket replacements require only basic hand tools like small screwdrivers or hex keys to access the motor assembly or water jacket. The gasket itself simply removes and installs without special equipment. Refer to your Vector model's instruction manual for specific disassembly steps.
- Does this gasket come with any installation instructions? — The gasket is a direct replacement part. Your Volantex Vector boat manual contains detailed disassembly and reassembly instructions for accessing the motor cooling system where this gasket is located. If you've lost your manual, Volantex provides downloadable PDF guides on their website for all Vector models.
