RE: RC Surfer
hey thanks alot for the info, i take it that your prop now turns when it is out of the water? excuse my stupidity but what is the ESC for? also did you extend the rod that goes from the servo to the fin? your setup does look much better, will try gut my surfer this weekend

RE: RC Surfer
Thanks for the info - i will definately give it a shot, i havnt been able to use mine for over 3 months now as it came with a faulty servo. one question though, i unscrewed the white box above the motor(which i assume as the receiver in) and saw that there is not much leeway between the white box and the motor and there is lots of glue etc, so i cant really see whats going on there - did you just cut the wires and pull the box off? thanks mike

RE: RC Surfer
can you please give me the specs of what servo and receiver you put in there, also how did you fit them in there? with glue or screws? was it hard to modify as i have never done this before?

RE: RC Surfer

RE: RC Surfer
i managed to fix my rc surfer - sort of - i opened up the servo motor and noticed on of the gears were not connecting properly. i also disconnected the surfer figure so it doesnt lean with the turn. now the fin turns fine but after about 5 minutes of using it the fin starts turning less and less until it doesnt turn at all. could this be a faulty battery or the servo? the battery was fully charged as well. mike

RE: RC Surfer
i bought the board shark surfer but the surfer doesnt turn - not enough power to even turn the rudder without the surfer figure attached, what can be wrong - very frustrated!!!!

RE: RC Surfer
i recently got my Board Shark but the only problem is that the surfer cant turn!!! i charged the batteries properly and it can go forward and backwards no problem. i took the top off to see if it can turn without having to turn the surfer as well but it could barely turn the fin on its own. can anyone give me a suggestion on what the problem could be?
