    I reckon the MRTFX and trailer would be fun in the El Fuego. Especially if you're a fan of that twin feeling.

    I was thinking about trying the MRTFX. I also want a matching set of trailers for the Nexus H3s up front (which are fantastic in the ElF). I think the trailers might add that little bit of pivot and drive that the GXQ rears lack. Option #3 is the indofins Control-q, which is the same shape as the Futures Controller, only in FCS.

    Did I read on and old forum where Nev recommended Controllers. Would this be only on smaller models?

    Yeah Nev said the Controllers turned his El Fuego into a Super El Fuego.

    That was on the 5'11. I dunno about bigger ones but it's quite a bit of fin area so could work well. Fin Tree would be a good idea if you can test first.

    Hey STC, I've found the bigger the fins the better my 6'5 Elf goes. I didn't like the SF4s at all, just felt like you really had to work the board to get it going. I'm now running Shapers Quad-E's and the board just came to life. I reckon Controllers would be good too if you have Futures or you can get copies from Indo Fins for FCS. The Elf also goes well with PC7's in the thruster setup.

    Agree although I preferd mine as a thruster - PC7's were amazing
