For those who have anything to say about offroading, please speak now!

this thread is for anyone looking into advice or any ideas on offroading.


i think we should start looking into that small offroad track available to us at area 2 and i'm willing to put it to good use!

im thinking of getting back into EP offroading...... here are my options:

TAMIYA HUMMER with 9T brushless motor
TRAXXAS SLAYER converted to brushless power
DURGA CHASSIS with 9T brushless motor



ANY OTHER GOOD RECCOMENDATIONS?

when we clean up the track, we could use all the rocks to make a rock crawling course in the small patch of dirt in the middle of the parking lot while the dirt track would be behind where we all park for the meets............

Hummer i dont know ???

Durga cannot handle brushless well it melts away the diffs i did with a 4600 mamba and stick packs itself.

THen i think the slayer wud be a good choice but converting it to brushless maybe quite an exp affair.

My suggestion is to get a slash, make that brushless which is not very exp, and put on sand paddles or buggy tires it does well.

I have a BL slash, and it does very well in the sand, but is even more fun on hard packed sand. Being 2WD you get some serious 'tail' out action. Even the drifters will appreciate how it slips sideways around corners.
I put a Hobbywing/Yeah racing BL in it and it did ok, but that was a 9T, with the full size 5.5 it would be great. You do need LiPo though, they chomp through batteries very quickly..

that sounds awsome, im lookin to get a new tamiya hummer and stick a 9T brushless in that, that would go crazy fast, but just as you said. they eat batteries. i say we should go forward with this offroad track

hummer, pajero, cayenne transsyberia, f350, land cruiser, etc... it would be cool to see those scalers in action, rally style, plus some evo and imprezza rally cars we can make ourselves a mini uae desert challenge

I have a brand new Blackfoot & restored Hilux that would be ready for some mild offraod action.

But if u want serious jumps an stuff.....i have the 1/8 Inferno ST, 1/10HPI- RS4 MT & the 1/10 Traxxas Slayer ready & waiting..

sir bong also has an F-350, SEEEEE..............WE ALL OWN OFFROAD KITS.......LETS OFF-ROAD TOMORROW!!!!!!!

Uh... i do have a 1/8 scale truggy too but thats noisy nitro.
But hey i can get my flux

only EP allowed due to sir jay's rules.................we dont wanna get kicked out of area 2 as well

Oh yeah the flux is electric man

then its all go for 2moro

dont forget to bring all of your offroad kits on september 12th for some dirtbashing, whether your running a crawler or a savage flux, BRING IT....LETS GET THIS OFFROAD SECTION STARTED.....I Can gladly be in charge hahaha XD

sirs, maybe sometime you can visit the race track in Al-Ain.
