    Kyosho Surfer

    I have a Kyosho RC Surfer for sale: He is in mint condtion and RTR. I picked this up a couple of months ago and have gone thru it completly. I have also found out that if you don't live near the coast with these that a rc boat is probably alot more fun. If you do live on the coast and want to catch some wave action there is nothing better!! I have surfed 3 foot waves easily and this guy launches off of waves like no other. There are quite a few youtube vids out there on these. This guy is brushless and has a supervee motor and esc in him. I have run him on both 2s and 3s. He will do about 25 mph very quickly and will turn on a dime. This surfer is not for everyone but for those that know this product and enjoy the waves it is amazing for the controler and a real crowd pleaser. I will include a spare motor and esc, two prop shafts and props, spare rudder,spare seals all the way around, 2.4 radio and rx and stand shipped for 525.00 in the cont. US.
    He is in excellent condtion and with the included parts should run perfect for quite some time.

          If your saying would I take the motor and esc and radio out of it and sell it I would. The end price would reflect what I could get for these parts separatly. About 175.00 t o 200.00 Is what I think those are worth. The spare motor and esc are old and would not sell for to much. The new esc and motor are in great shape and would sell for 75 to 100 I would think. The radio and reciever would sell for 50. Hopefully this makes sence. I would hope someone would buy this together and part out if they desire. It is a really good setup as it is and runs perfect. Cosmetically it is perfect as well. What would you do different if I may ask?
          Thanks Dave Brown

              What makes these things so crazy expensive?

                      I haven't removed the lid yet. But I did try to put the driver on it. Wow, its an exercise in patience management. Any tips?
