Hi guys, I'm new to RCU and been checking this thread for A while. What I remember from rc racing when Brian kinwald was in top of the game. I want to get back to racing and I would like to what category you guys race? And do u have a weekly races or meetup at the track? If I'm Not mistaken it's in al lisaili

tommygun32

Hi 2ndT and welcome back to the fun.

We race 1:8 scale buggies and truggies, both nitro and electric at Lisayli.

Take the Dubai/Al Ain road towards Al Ain, take exit 37 after the Rugby 7's grounds and go left over the fly-over. Head straight and follow the road as it turns right. Take that road all the way to the end, go through the gate and the track is on your left.

We don't have that many 'organized' races, we just use the track to have some fun and practise. Races happen on occasion and we'll be holding one in the near future. Stay tuned, announcements will be made in this thread.

tommygun32

That's the way it should be brother. Family, footie, beverage, RC,....did I miss anything?? oh ya...fishing. (please note: no 4 letter words ...like "w@rk")

Think you'll be ready for this Friday avo??

nitrorig driver

This Friday-i doubt it as i had finger trouble on amains website-$500 later-[:-]and now i'm waiting for my tyres to turn up so its going to be a bit hard just on the hubs..plus a few other bits to get me going

tommygun32

OK nitro...I hear ya.

Good luck with your fingers....if you need someone to splint them up, I've got a med trained card and I used to be a Boy Scout, junior life guard, camp surf CIT, rescue diver....hmmmm, what else...ahahahahaa.

Get that thing built and post pics!!!

If you need any help or got quezzies....you know where to go....

nitrorig driver

that's the front end done then-shame i have one coupling that hasn't been threaded for the grub screw

tommygun32

Looking good nitro.

Is the grub screw going into a metal or plastic part?

If it's plastic, just give it a good show until the threads bite. It should thread itself in. Just don't over-tighten it or it will strip.

If it's going into metal....then that's surprising that the threads weren't cut into it at the factory. I think ACE may have thread cutters.

Good luck.

Hi mandtrik

Can i know there is Lisayli track the location please.

Thanks

nitrorig driver

It's the imput drive to the front diff
so yes it should have been cut before hardening.
Have tried already to cut a thread but it's
To hard. Back to the shop I'm afraid.

king 44....

Take the Dubai/Al Ain all the way to exit 37 (Al Lisayli). If you're coming from Dubai, make a left at the top and another left over the fly-over. Keep going straight over the camel grate and follow the road as it turns right. Take this road all the way to the end. You'll turn left through some gates and you can't miss us.

If you're coming from Dubai, you will go past the Outlet Mall and then the Rugby 7's grounds, then the camel race track...all these on your right. The exit is the one after the camel race track.

Hope to see you tomorrow.
