Status: offline 		Quick question, are you guys using the stock shaft and tube in the nqd? what size is the stock shaft for a coupler, what size motor output shaft are the fast surfers using? I have a board shark stripped ready for mods and a nqd lisa ready just trying to tie up some lose details. Thanks

The NQD Uses a 4mm Coupling (shaft end) and 1/8 For the motor side (100% Sure)

We dont use the stock NQD Shaft or plastic coupling

surfcurls.com has the 4mm shaft (stainless Steel) and comes with the coupling, set screws and Stuff Tube. Fits NQD and All Kyosho, But NOT Shark.

Hope this helps

Status: offline 		Thanks Surfcurls!! What is a good lipo size for these? I have some 11.1v 2100, from my aircraft days, will these work alright with a brushless setup. Is there bigger and better lipo's to put in to give the surfer more weight in the water?

Correction... the board shark's motor coupling uses 1/8 for the motor side and 4mm for the shaft.

Transport for the Dudette. On the way to the river was doing about 110mph and Lisa managed to hold on. She was bending a little though.

Longboard, I'll take a look for you. I think a picture of the esc may be in my previous photos on page 18.

Status: offline 		hello all, was in the thrift store the other day and saw a board sharks without radio for $2.60. i snatched that bad boy up and am now considering my optios to get him up and running. everything looks water tight. am thinking of using an esc removed from an aquacraft atlantic harbor tug. might go with a 2.4 rx to get rid of the antenna. my question is can i use the servo (if it works) in the board shark so i can keep the surfers movement or if i change the servo how can i keep the movement? there are about 8 wires going to the box that contains the servo, which ones do i need to plug into the radio rx?? am hoping the motor is still good. the battery was in it and seems to be ok. thanks for any help.

A 5100 mah - ni-mh 6 cell 7.2volt will work fine, it just gives longer run time. With longer run time, you just want to make sure
the motor / speed control are cooling properly. so when you run it with one of these batteries, run it about 20 minutes, check the heat
then run it 30 min / 40 min to see if any heat is an issue.

I always try to get my surfer in after a 30 min run just to check for leaks / heat / loose screws etc...

John
