Have had the traxxas and the hammer and the tower turbo V well the traxxas stunk all noise and loud vibrated like heck!! and when raced against the tower Turbo V the turbo V was faster and handeled way better... The hammer is about the same as the tower turbo V but the tower boat is a little smaller and it handels much better than the hammer because it has 2 turn fins....I would stay far away from the blast it's to much $$ and it's to tiny!
