RC ADVENTURES - Vintage SURFER GiRL & I do a Recovery Swim

WHAT A BEAUTiFUL DAY! Jem's Vintage RC Surfer Girl came in the mail a few days ago.. and we are ready to see it on the canal! This surfer is not as stable as my kyosho v3 surfer dude - and certainly can not support a camera as well. Jem does a great job piloting the surfer, though we had some battery issues. I need a new battery for it! Yes, I even go for a swim in this film to recover my wife's surfer before it goes over the dam.. haha! More practice is needed and a better battery for certain.. we will get it ready!
If you are interested in getting a V3 of the surfer from Kyosho here is an amazon link:
The Surfer you see here in this video is no longer available and is an upgraded "toy" version of once what was... Here are the mods and upgrades listed from the buyer we bought from on ebay (carolina-discount)
8.5 BRUSHLESS Flex Shaft LISA RC SURFER WHITE 2.4 Ghz
Extreme 18.5 Volt Upgrade
Included is a 14.8 Volt LiPo and optional 18.5 Volt 5s lipo is available. I found in testing that the 4s 14.8 Volt was all it could handle (It would literally jump out of the water) but up some waves the extra power may make it perform even better.
RARE TURTLE WHITE BOARD
This will Operate on 2s 7.4 Volt, 3s 11.1 Volt, 4s 14.8 Volt, and 5s 18.5 Volt. Max Voltage is 21 Volts which is what a 5s is Fully Charged.
This Board will give you the power to Drive up Waves Very FAST and Launch off of them.
This is the Extreme Brushless Upgrade with Heavy Duty Teflon Sleeved Stuffing Tube, Replaceable Shaft Bushing, Flex Shaft with 1/8" Drive Dog Stainless Steel Prop Shaft with M3 Threads.
Also reduced the prop shaft angle to aid in more speed
The Flex Shaft drive is standard in all Performance RC Boats. It acts as an energy absorber to handle reentry of High Speed Props with out damage to prop or boat.
VERSION 3 TGY SeaKing 120 Amp (720Amp) Speed Control. Incredible Punch and Smooth Control.
Includes 14.8 Volt 4s Volt 2700mah LiPo Battery and Easy Fully Automatic AC/DC Charger for up to 6s 22.2 Volt LiPo
