Attention All Offroaders......

Hello to all

i spoke with a few members a while back about getting an offroad meet going, no rules or regulations apply, just bring whatever offroad kit u have and bash the hell out of it!!!!!

at first we suggested Nad Al Sheba on a friday afternoon.....just to get things rolling....we also thought of having it somewhere in march or maybe even right after Automodex??
open to any suggestions.......i dont get off exams until march 4.......


so how about march 5th??

5th is good for me

i'm in

I want to joinn...But can the TT01ERA handle Nad Al Sheba? What's the track over there like?

...Maybe we could give the Rally Union a kick start over there...

abdul

the track at nad al sheba is designed for 1/8 scale buggys and truggys so theres no way you'll get a rally car around the track.....i have seen 1:10 nitro buggys battling to get around....

nad al sheba has very soft sand everywhere, even when wet it wont do for rally....

you would need a decent offroader to cope out there

Never mind then.

Now I want a DF03. Hmmphh. If only I still had my nitro buggy. How much will a new engine cost me?

abdul

DF03 wont cut it out there ...its too small and light....even if you had big brushless power...would be pun on hard pacekd clay though...

.21 nitro engines( typical buggy size) range anywhere from 500-600AED up to 2-3K AED depends what you want, what size etc etc

@andy @sam you guys up for an offroad day?

i have a Cen racing 1:16 Mini monster nitro kit im selling it for 250AED you can scrap it bec. some parts is comp with 1:10 truggy & engine of .15 rear exhouse pull start. no electronics installed.

FRS: no time for nitro kits

let me know if your interested

ill prob join in with my inferno

J.Drift, I'd buy it immediately, but I need electrics. Thanks though.

uhh should you have PM'ed him that?

or at least in FS section..................OFFF TOPIC


but about your TT-01 and your dream DF-03........they both wont cut it out there, you would just bog down and bottom out even with a 4WD kit, you need loads of power and clearance in the off-road world.....why not buy a kyosho inferno....they are 1400AED stock and they run like hell.....i should know....i owned one


calling the "big boys" once again....helooooo...you out there???!!!!

a golden opportunty here, plus i want to go against samaj's slayer with pauls slash and see the difference, i hear there was some faulty driving.....hmmm i think i can set things right...........pus i'll give everyone an opportunity to experience the BAJA POWER......

COME ON GUYS LETS GET THIS THING GOING!!!!!

so we have 3 in already!!!!!!

Sorry about the OT.

Kyosho Inferno's are too expensive.

sounds like i'm gonna need some 11.1V batteries for the slash, just to unleash its true potential on 7.4V it was already quicker than the slayer just need to get the balance right in the car

I dont want to make you guys look bad with my 2WD slash.

Incidentally, Greg and the nitro boys are collecting cash to do up the Nad Al Sheba track, if you want to contribute, let me know.

I know that if they spend the sort of money they are talking about, it will be a good track , but you will be frowned upon if you use the facilities without contributing....especially if you dont look after it accordingly.

...if you get my drift...lol....drift...

Andy bring that slash 2wd!

from what i understood, the money is going into the track al lasayli and not nad al sheba....and if they are planning to put money in at nad al sheba it will be wasted (again), as from what i understand that whole area will be gone before the end of the year.....

al laysayli should be a good track when its done, just a damn pity its so far away!!!!

Paul your slash looked fairly quick, just looked a bit light round the corners and especially in the jumps.

Definitely needs some weight in it

Can someone find the Nad Al Sheba track on Google for me? I really want to see what it's like.

@Paul, how far is "al laysayli"? Never heard of it before.

i think the car setup straight out the box is setup to run on a traxxas 7cell nimh, so it would be heavier and better balanced, need to do some adjustment to compensate for the lighter lipos! or get one of THESE

where are all our secret offroaders!!!!

65 mph, plus 54 minute run times. Thats mental!

Paul with that battery u will pull wheelies....! I have teh sway bar kit for my slayer that i have yet to install. Will probably try on some 1/8 scale buggy tires to give it bit more width.

If cant manage to get all that ready. Will get my Inferno ST with the OS 30 VG engibe. Its sheer torque is amazing...!

I prefer Friday mornings though....like 8am.

wheelies are just the start, want to try and pull some backflips like in the slash 4x4 promo video! hahaha

see what you can get ready in time! it think it will be a good day!

i stand to be corrected but i think mornings will be a problem for ahmad as i think goes to mosque and does family stuff friday mornings.....

sam just put your leave application in with your wife today!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

IM SOO EXCITED BY THIS OFFROAD TALK!!!!!


PS.......My baja will own you all

@tractorboy

it would be great for you to join us with the nitros

and offcourse the baja beast!!!

Guys,

Investing in Nadal Sheba:
- My question is: how will the investment be protected? Free access for everybody, even for people who doesn't care about the hobby and running their 4x4 through the track. This was one of the big issues at Nadal Sheba, being destroyed by people who are not thinking about others. No one was maintaining the track.

The plan was to build an off road track at Al Lisaili. The track is half built now.
Area is compacted and layout has been put in place using ropes. However, the initiative was put on hold. Now, Greg is trying to revive the spirit. So let's contribute to this idea, so that Dubai is able to have a nice off road track just like the guys in Abu Dhabi.

For a real off road track (1/8 buggy and truggy), you can also go to Abu Dhabi.
Location is next to the Ice Rink where the old track has been refurbished with new soil and lay out. Complete with driver stand and pit area. This is the result of a group effort (contribution).
Friday is the very first "fun (fund raising) race", so if you can make it, just visit the place and have a nice off road day there.

i want to contribute towards getting Nad Al Sheba back online as it is all we have as an offroad track............let me know i theres anyway i can help......i want my track back, at least lets have some form of protection from idiots who run their quads and 4x4s on the track....mae a sign board or some kind of barrier (like the one on th airstrip)

Ahmad

the contributions are for al laysali an not nad al Sheba. See my earlier post.
Nad al Sheba is not worth investing in as it won't be theremuch longer with all the workfor Meydan
