oh that's great. and i'm sure reliability lessens with more mods.
if i got an fx-1 instead, would that require less mods?
I just got my 02 SJ and took it out for the first time yesterday and again today. It is getting easier, but whoa it is unstable while standing, on my knees I can do donuts now all day long, but they have no skin left. I'm just working on how much pressure to put on each side while turning standing up so I don't get dumped every time i turn halfway sharp. This thing is a blast though and you'll love it, I can tell already that this thing(stock minus plate/grate, prop, and bilge and another small thing or two) has plenty of power to do a lot of tricks, sure I don't expect to do inverted tricks on the lake with stock power, but the hull needs reinforcing and footholds first anyways.
I say just get one and ride while its still summer, and work on building it up this winter when you won't be able to ride anyways(unless your immune to hypothermia), thats what I am doing, mainly just cheap hull mods for me(footholds, hydroturf, reinforcing, modding stock hood), maybe head milling and a pipe. You don't need a modded beast this season anyways, its going to take you a while just to be able to ride it well before you even think about flips. My superjet is about the most unstable thing I've ever ridden, but wow is it fun. But for now, just ride with stock power, learn to ride stock and then add more power when you are ready for it.
