Yo Wally

Is the Foki ready to run this Sunday

[Wally]

The hardware and boat is for my wify to make up for
the lack of experience in handling RC boats. I doubt she can make
a decent oval loop, let alone race. That is why more speed is needed
to make up for her handicap. Wally

CCx4,

The Foki landed cost is about US$229.00, That include the hull
and hardware, with flex cable, couplers etc for US$179+$15 for
water jacket and shipping cost is US$35.00.

Have a look some of the goodies that comes with the boat - a cool water cooling jacket on the Brushless.

Foki on the run

Sorry to disappoint you Doraemon, I am still waiting for
her Jeti Brushless ESC and the hyperion Lipo to arrive
from Japan. Perhaps in -2 weeks time.

I will be running the Foki with a brushless 3650 (KV) rpm/v
using twin packs of Hyperion 11.1 V 4200 MAh. That
should provide enough juice to power her up to some silly rpm.
81,030 rpm to be exact. Correct me if I am wrong.

I wonder what will happen to the boat when she reach
maximum throttle, do you think she will hold up?

Foki going Ballistic

Check out what our Malaysian RC boating counterpart is doing,
they are flying the boat instead of driving them - Foki going Ballistic

Can't wait to see her maiden

The kv of the motor seems a little high for a direct drive (hi kV generally = less torque). With the prop in the water, you won't see the rpms at 81k. Depending on the torque of the motor, prop rpm will be a lot lower. You'll also need to keep an eye on the current draw as the hi kV motor will suck in the amps to overcome the load presented by the prop. That will heat up the motor, esc and lipos. But it seems like your motor cooling, esc and capacity of the lipos have a better chance than most to hold up to the punishment Next to watch is torque roll, but trim tabs can easily fix that if needed.

The camo paint scheme on the other Foki looks cool... you should do something with yours while waiting for the esc and lipos to arrive

Are you sure your wife will be comfortable with this cruise missile as her first boat ?

I have a sudden desire to go 4S3P lipo brushless for my humble Yamaha now
