| 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 |

| 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!!!! |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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 |

| I have been told by a reliable source, that the area where the track is should under development by the end of summer or early third quarter. It won't be as soon as world cup.
May aswell enjoy it while it lasts!
Vin, you need to get an offroader from your shop for offroad session! Hahaha |
