    Evolution Foki Second Gen -One for the wify

    Too late to get the reef racer, got snapped up. Got this one for the wify to join in the fun at PP when the wifes race. Can she make it into the reef racer class with a Foki. Wally

    Foki Mee !!!

    That's one awesome compact boat with some serious running hardware!!!

    I'm sure the wifeys will cry foul if you run this in the stock RR class She can race ezzy and myself in the Top Speed 2 nitro class
    If in doubt - add more horsepower!

              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 ?
