Foil Drive | From Box to Board | Ben Jamieson's Setup Guide

In this video, Ryan from MACkite and Ben from Foil Drive (co-founder) present a comprehensive unboxing of the Foil Drive system. They start by highlighting the detailed assembly instructions, which include QR codes leading to additional online content for quick setup guidance. The package includes various components for both the Assist Slim and Assist Max systems, with slight differences like the nose cone sizes but similar contents overall.
They discuss the importance of handling the electronic components carefully, especially in saltwater, to protect the system and maintain its lightweight and compact design. The motor comes with a protective cover for the sharp blades and standard two-blade folding propellers, with an optional three-blade upgrade for more torque.
The video also covers the universal pod that connects the motor to the mast, accommodating over 115 different mast sizes with short and long nose cones included for versatility. The battery case and battery feature protection covers, and the package includes different nose cones to fit both slim and max systems.
The remote controller is introduced with a wrist leash and offers a fully proportional throttle and cruise control functions. Additional accessories, like foam inserts for better signal transmission and a rubber cable guide for the motor, are discussed.
Ben and Ryan go through the included hardware, emphasizing the adaptability of the system to various boards and masts. They also show spare parts, charging cables for the battery and remote, and tools needed for assembly. The package includes grease for protecting electrical connections and a microfiber rag for cleaning.
Finally, they suggest additional accessories like a three-blade prop upgrade, fast chargers, and a paddle mount for the controller.
