[quote]ORIGINAL: TechyJoe [b]sukeroku[/b] Are you really from Japan? Where exactly? This is so cool ! We have Spain, Japan and the US. Your English writing is superb. How did it get so good? Anyway, if you read many of the posts here you can get a good idea of some good setups. Mine cost me about $150.00 US dollars but I used a Radio I already owned and a battery pack I already owned from model

RE: RC Surfer
[quote]ORIGINAL: TechyJoe [b]sukeroku [/b] I'll try to answer your questions: 1) I didn't find the need to fill the Lisa Figure with plumbers foam. However, I did need to glue her head on better. It also appears to me that board shark builders made the "dude" figure static (not sure how this is done. maybe just glue him in place). 2) I an not a motor expert. Motor theory

RE: RC Surfer
Yowza, TechyJoe and Longboard, thanks for the the suggestions. I found a white decked NQD Lisa on a Japanese site for 4280 yen which is a better price than before (the exchange rate is a little high now but it roughly translates to $40). I hit all the major RC shops in Akihabara yesterday putting my my Japanese skills to use in the shops and on the web but noone could find me a Kyosho so I am going to go with this one. The challenge is going to be the modifications since I am a surfer not an RC guy. Give me fiberglass and some resin and I can fix any ding but this electronics stuff is a little daunting... but I'm game! I'm may take the thing to Akihabara when I get it and see if the guys at Futaba Sangyo can help me out. They seemed to be the friendlist shop I visited. Any suggestions as far as gutting the board and getting reasonable set up would be appreciated... How much $$$ are talking about laying out here? I'm not taliking about a "superboard" just a decent functional setup that will give me ample power and surf time.

RE: RC Surfer
Total rookie here...please bear with me. I've seen some "Surf Lisa" boards with yellow decks for sale online, but the ones I have seen on this thread have white decks, so I'm assuming the yellow deck boards are Chinese copies (listing at about $70) I'm trying to decide between buying that or a cheaper Board Shark. Any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW I am still looking for a Kyosho here in Japan...
