Supertrack Sessions

we're planning to do sessions in the afternoon this coming friday, as its a good friday.
we'll see you guys. . . . .

So are we going to have a morning session too this Friday Richie boy?

i dont think so joe. . . .

Ooh man. Just made plans for Friday afternoon.

Need to run my new motor in,anyone there fri early with a heater....
Thought I'd try and do it properly this time.
If there is such a way ?

I can so morning

i'll do afternoon, some errands in the morning. . . hey joe, just leave the lap counting system with rob if you can, so we can use it in the afternoon sessions. . .

cheers

will do dude

Guys, tomorrow what time??

1pm joe

Guys, I will not be coming to track tomorrow. Seriously the afternoon sessions does not suit me that well. With summer coming in, and if we want to play, we need to reconsider moving the session to early in the morning or late evening (Hussain mentioned something about floodlight installation).

In any case, if you guys want the timer system, someone needs to pick it up form the Executive towers @ business bay

Well we had a fun afternoon last Friday for sure. It was fun being there with everyone bringing their cars out onto the track. Im glad I took my erevo with me cuz my Losi had everyone scratching their heads, then once we figured it out my starter box belt snapped! thanks to those that helped out, you know who you are, I really appreciated the effort.
I seems it was not just my first time on the track, about 7 other locals showed up at the track later in the afternoon and we all had our vehicles on the track.

I had fun. thanks guys, and I hope to be there next week as well inshallah

Nothing makes me more happy from the other side of the world to see people getting together
From all walks of of life and having a great time ,helping other people from the most basic way, upwards?....

This is what makes this sport or hobby all about......

Well done chaps....keep the spirit up.......


I just wish I was there to help........

I agree with you whole heartedly and thanks for for the offer to help

Ive tried to adjust my erevo for better steering ability for the tight Super Track hopefully it makes a difference.

Losi 8 2.0 rtr T is hopefully gonna play ball with me this weekend.

I'll also bring my 1/16 erevo for in between fun runs.

Hope to see most of you at the track tomorrow inshallah.

nice session guys! weather was excellent !

The weather was amazing and so was the track after some hard labor

I'm glad I got my Erevo dialed in a lot better for the track, I can now make the turns with ease, so watch out minda!

Losi behaved better today ran it very rich just to keep it cool! It was overheating on me too much.

I don't know about you guys but the sand stuck to my cars like superglue!! Even WD40 was having a hard time breaking the sand down! What did they put in the water? Sugar? It wouldn't come of my car until I used Son of a Gun plastic cleaner and protectant, that was the only thing that managed to break up the sand and stop it from sticking, even my air compressor had no chance at removing the stuff!!

Well I think you all know I had a lot of fun, it was yet again. A great day of rc fun on the track, I wish I could do it more than just once a week, cuz my cars are clean all batteries are charged and my gear is ready to go again

What time do you guys hit the track on Friday ?

UAEfox, welcome to the world of dirtdxb.... now you know where the name is derived from

Mate, a piece of advise (and that's what most of us do), once you're done with your rig (while you are still on track and the dirt didn't yet completely dry and hardened) get a rough brush (aka Minda style) and brush the heck out of it. Use a finer paint brush for the tight corners. inaddition to that, I use a very fine screw driver and scrub the sides of the plastic parts and poke the dirt in the screw buts.

Immediately after that, I go the the closest gas station possible and use their compressed air (I think 10x stronger than personal air compressors) and blow the hell out of it. Then I spay the metal joints, bearings with Jig-A-Loo from Speedex behind Oasis mall on SZR. Inaddition to that, I brush my tires with a tooth brush and little(tiny) running water, making sure I block the holes on the tire with my fingers while brushing. Doing so helps keep the tire fresh and soft.

Windex works well in cleaning the bottom and that's about all the cleaning I do.

Then again, most of us are not too keen in getting their rigs back to a brand new condition after playing... some of use don't even clean them for weeks and weeks (Hint Hint anyone ...!! ... forum name starts with N..)

That's my two cents. See you this Friday
Joe

Simple green!

Dilute with mineral water, if you keep it at about 10:1 it also acts as a rust inhibitor

I mix it in a spray bottle, squirt all over, brush in with a tooth brush and wipe clean

Then I dry with a hair drier and re lube where needed

Ahem. Guilty as charged .......and guess what,it still runs right ?

But one thing I do make sure is that every week the filter is a clean one,
But Joe wouldn't notice that cause he goes plug un play route

Dave
"Then I dry with a hair drier and re lube where needed"
Where would I find a hair drier in my house

Thanks for the tips guys, I've seen that jig a loo stuff before there, never seen simple green where can I find that?

Nitro rig I guess you remind me of my brother, he just plays and when done throws his car in the laundry room for the next time....it works for a while but then disaster struck, bearings froze, motor overheated, magnets on rotor exploded, bearings in diff housing melted plastic and failed, pinion and ring gear kaput, all in one go ....it ran fine until that point and it wasn't a cheap fix.

I'd recommend WD40 all bearings as well as cleaning your filter:) Hope to meet you soon.

And Joe if you do have any spare transponders left to sell please save me one, or two, Thanks

Anish, I've only been twice now have come straight after Friday prayer, but seems most people show up a little before 3. Last week we had a water tanker show up, so we spent about an hour prepping the track before we used it till the sun went down.

Bearings, now there's a subject ,I'll let Joe tell you all about them...

A little known fact is I do clean it,but not to the extent of some,compressed air of the home type followed by a Teflon based aerosol (because its a dry lubricant) on the bearings etc....
I also run the drive shafts open and dry as any grease in there will soon act
Like a grinding paste with our environment

Jiga loo is available in carfour and hyper pander as well and I'd recommend that over wd40 as it doesn't leave a oily film which will attract the dirt next out which wd40 will..

Simple green (google it) is a USA cleaning product, it is available in the UAE but in fairly large quantities only..

Fingers crossed I'll be there this Friday.

Where can you get Teflon/dry lube around these parts Rob?
