My Aquacraft Hammer

[JackHammer]

I got this boat from a friend, but it needed a controller and a battery. I upgraded the controller to a 2.4 GHz, and the battery is a 8.4v 3300 MAH Traxxas 7 cell. This boat is a lot of fun and I plan on doing a few more upgrades to it soon. Id like to add a metal prop and maybe an aluminum rudder set up, only because I think it would look cool. Here are some before and after pics. When I got it, the sticker/graphics were a bit bubbled up, and those on the deck were not lined up symetrical, so I removed most of them and I really like the new cleaner look. Hope yall like my boat!!!

I used a pro boat widowmaker rudder system for my hammer along with a 32mm 3 blade prop. 8.4v on the stock motor and stock esc. Going bigger than a 30mm things get hot pretty quick. I removed the stock water pick up to allow for different props. I used abs glue to seal the hole since it is an abs hull. I installed a fan because the stock water cooling does not work all to well. I also put on rio ep trim tab/turn fins. I was running this boat on a river that averages a flow of 700fps. Not a fast boat but 1 of the most fun to run boats I have had. You have a good fun and practical boat.

I have a rudder that is pretty much identical looking to whats on there but metal if you want it. Just pay shipping!

Would the rudder fit the stock set up, and if so, do you have a pic?

adam777, Tower Hobbies has a version of this boat, called "Power Vee EP RTR", and sells for around $100.00. Aquacraft no longer makes the "Hammer", but they do have one called "Rio EP" that has the same or similar running gear as far as the motor and all. A co-worker gave me the boat, and I had to get a battery, radio/controller/receiver, and of course a charger. After it was all set up, we found that the ESC wasn't working properly and it was replaced with one from Aquacraft. I really like this boat, but I want to add some fins for quicker turning without spinning out, and also want to add a better prop for a little more speed.

my one friend, who is in this hobby once said to me that if I ever want to get into this hobby he can give me an Rc Båt but in that case I have to make it run. for that I have to buy a battery, radio/controller/receiver, and of course a charger. that is a tough job for me as a beginner. so I think to buy a ready to run RC boat. I asked him for this he told me that he can buy one for me in £60.
