DragonForce 65 V8 RTR – with Futaba T6K Radio System 

At Rooster, we see this as a fun crossover collaboration. For small boat sailors who enjoy being on the water, the DragonForce 65 offers a simple and accessible way to get involved in the DF65 and DF95 racing circuits across the UK — whether at club level or local events. It’s competitive, sociable and easy to get started. 

Overview 

The DragonForce 65 V8 is a compact, high-performance radio-controlled racing yacht, supplied ready-to-run with a premium Futaba T6K radio system installed. 

It delivers genuine racing performance in a smaller, more portable package, making it ideal for sailors looking for quick, regular time on the water without the logistics of a full-size boat. 

Everything comes in the box, with key components pre-installed. With a straightforward build, you can be sailing within a couple of hours. 

Why We Like It 

  • A highly accessible entry into radio sailing and class racing  
  • Compact and easy to transport and store  
  • Strong UK and global racing scene  
  • Simple setup with meaningful tuning potential  

Setup & Build 

Assembly takes approximately 2–3 hours using clear instructions developed by designer John Tushingham. 

  • Servos are pre-installed in the hull  
  • Keel, ballast and rudder slot into position  
  • Carbon “A” rig supplied part-built  
  • Minimal rigging – no shrouds or spreaders  

Just add batteries and you’re ready to sail. 

Radio System – Futaba T6K 

Supplied and installed as part of the package, offering reliability and flexibility: 

  • 30 model memory  
  • Full telemetry (including onboard battery monitoring)  
  • Channel reverse  
  • End point adjustment (rudder and winch travel)  
  • Channel mixing and advanced setup features  

Battery Setup Note: 
As the receiver is installed in the servo tray (for improved protection), we recommend fitting a USB rechargeable battery pack beside the fin box. This will require a short extension lead and Velcro to secure in place. 

Performance 

Developed specifically for racing, the DragonForce 65 offers impressive performance for its size: 

  • 11-point tuning system to refine sail shape and balance  
  • Carbon mast for reduced rig complexity  
  • Balanced performance across a wide wind range  
  • Supported by a global fleet of over 40,000 DF65 and DF95 sailors  

Additional rigs and sails are available separately, allowing you to sail competitively in varying conditions.

Batteries

We recommend USB rechargeable battery packs, installed alongside the fin box using an extension lead and Velcro for a secure fit. 

Important Information 

The onboard electronics (servos, switch, wiring and batteries) are not waterproof. Care must be taken to keep the hull dry, as water damage is not covered under warranty.

Works Great!
This is a new version of an old style that was the best most durable, and long lasting night time balls!!! They stay on long enough for me to find if my lab cant find it. (We have an acre backyard and in ground swimming pool) sometimes I have to retrieve it. Stays on and auto shuts off after inactivity. They ARE waterproof and we play in the pool with them on night swims. My lab is very hard on balls, very few hold hold up to his chomping on them. Great balls!!

not worth the cost
I love these balls for night time ball playing but they dont last. The last 4 Ive bought havent worked well or lasted more than a month. They were once worth the money

Great Idea but they will let you down eventually
I have used these for years during the winter. The price has nearly tripled but the longevity is the same. I normally purchase three with one being a spare. Within a few weeks they start going. I switch batteries etc but normally that does not help. Its a great idea and my dogs love them but they dont hold up to 10 minutes of play each nite. We do not throw them either, I roll them or kick them as my dogs are older
