To Keep Your Radio Control Surfer Ripping.
Please View This page Frequently For Product Updates, Maintenance Issues , Tips For Upgrades and Modifications. For Our "NQD" Surfers.
Maintenance Tips:
1) Tuck Wires: Make Sure All Wiring is Tucked Away Clear Of The Motor (Which Gets Hot)
2) Tighten Screws: Make Sure Deck Screws Are as Tight As Possible To Keep Water Out. (Small Sponges Can Be Placed Under The Motor) To Collect Any Drops Of Water From Wipeouts Ect.
3) Secure Battery. Apply Velcro / Duct Tape to Make Certain Battery Will Not Move In The Compartment.
Also Add A Small Amount Of Crazy Glue To The Little Black Plastic Part That Covers The Drive Shaft Connection For The Prop Shaft / Motor Coupling.
If The Battery Moves Into A Wrong Position During Use
It May Sit On Top Of The Spinning Drive Shaft, And Will Melt The Battery Casing And The Motor Coupling.
4) Charging The Battery:
The Battery Charger Included Is Basic, And Manual.
For These Stock Batteries, Do Not Overcharge.
Normal Charge Is About (3) Hours. Do Not Charge
The Stock Battery Over Night, Do Not Leave Unattended.
Our "NQD" Surfer Comes With A Ni-Cd (Nickel Cadmium) Rechargeable Battery.
These Ni-Cd Batteries Have "Memory" Like Some Cell Phones, So If They Are Not Fully Discharged Prior To Recharge, They Will Not Charge To Full Capacity.
So Be Sure To Run The Battery Until It Is "Dry" or It Will Not Be As Strong As it Was. For This Stock Battery,
Which Is a 1800 mAH Sc (Sub C) 7.2 Volt Only Use The Charger That Was Included, And Maintain The Battery As Described In The Initial Instructions That Were Furnished In The Original Operating Manual.
5) Upgrading To High Performance Batteries
(Pro Modified XT Series)
For More Run Time, Quicker Charge Time, And No Memory Charging, We Suggest Using Ni-Mh (Nickel Metal Hydride) Batteries
We Supply Ni-Mh Batteries With 3200 mAH 7.2 Volt That Include A Pro Series "Smart Charger" In Our Online Store.
This Is The Top Of The Line, At A Reasonable Cost To Get More Time In The Surf And Less Hassle.
Hit Our "On Line Store" Button Above
And Go To "Pro Series Xt" To Get The Set Up.
6) Keep "Deck Seal" In Place.
The Rubber / Foam Seal that Surrounds The Deck
And Surfer Figure Needs To Be Properly Fitted At All Times
Prior To Each Use. This Seal Keeps The Electronics Dry
And If Not Properly Sealed It Will Allow Water In The Sub Board And Will Damage Parts. You Can Also Apply Shipping Tape To The Deck Seal After You Screw Both Parts Together Prior To A "Go Out" if you don't Have Time To Repair / Replace The Deck Seal Tape.

Warning:
These Surfers Use A 2-Channel (27 Mhz) Transmitter / receiver. If You Have Two Of These Surfers (Some Do) And Want To Use Them At The Same Time, You Must Keep Them Out Of Radio Range (About 300 yards) Of Each Other. Any (27 Mhz) Radio Will Trigger Your Surfer To Respond To Any Other Radio Transmitter Within Range.
This Is Dangerous If Someone Is Near The Propeller and The System Is Actuated. This propeller Is Strong, Fast And Will Cut You If You Are Not Handling The Surfer Properly. So Be Careful, And Make Sure You Are The Only One In The Area Running On The Same Channel.
