Great boat easy to put together. Great boat for kids and adults .
I have bought 4 of these. They are great. Gets me back in the water. Being around saltwater and sand, maintenance is a must. Greasing the props. Rinsing with clean water around the inside. I have replaced 2 ECS’s. They tend to get wet. Easy fix. Ive replaced motors, Servo’s and props. I’ve posted on YouTube (Fishyboy) how to fix, replace, upgrade and maintain these. Will be posting more as well. Cowabunga….
“The RC Surfer is junk. It worked in my backyard pool, but the first time I took it to the ocean on a small day, it completely failed. It leaks badly, has no power, and doesn’t even run properly right out of the box. I’m all for upgrading, but there’s no point when the base product doesn’t work.”
Surfer4's human doll's arms, legs, and neck were frequently damaged, so it was good that it was supplemented, but the surfboard and human doll process rubber ring looked weak, so we will place an additional order It's still before the test, but I'm looking forward to it a lot.
Extremely fun! Very clever design, and looks awesome surfing waves. I was the biggest kid out there I’ve run 4 batteries in the Atlantic surf and it was a blast. My only 2 notes would be: - must run a soft case 2S lipo to enjoy properly (imo). - the surfer guy is extremely hard to install initially onto the board hatch. Has held up no problem.
Reviewers mostly rate the Kyosho RC Surfer 4 highly, praising its fun ride, ease of assembly and reliable performance in lakes, pools and surf, with several owners reporting multiple units or long use. Recurring maintenance concerns include water getting into the electronics and the need to grease props and rinse after saltwater use. One reviewer reported leaking, weak power and failure in ocean conditions, calling the base product unreliable. Other points raised include difficulty installing the surfer figure onto the hatch and the figure's arms, legs and neck being damaged. Some reviews concern the lipo battery setup. Overall sentiment is positive, with a single strongly negative review.
