Hey guys,

Hope all is well and happy new year to everyone.

Can someone post the street address or GPS coordinates for the Sharjah track please?

Also anyone into 1/10 electric 2wd buggies?

I got a Losi 22 coz I wanted something small, cool, and electric to run since its easy to haul, quick to start running from when i park, and quick to pack up when done. Still love my 1/8 nitros but must admit electrics have a great advantage when it comes to quick minimal hassle fun . Joe I'm sure you approve of this post

Hope to see you guys soon.

Sirpeet your best bet is to head out one weekend where everyone is meeting, and I'm sure you'll have plenty of guys to help you out.

If its help in buying a rig, I suggest Ultimate Hobbies near Garhoud...good gear (mainly Losi) and prices quite close to online US stores.

So do you all get together at the Track in Sharjah ? please let me know and i can drive their for some assistance.

look forward.

what time does that start
and what happens with the transponders? i.e. is that 230 dhs to buy one, or can they be borrowed? '
thanks

i don't know if transponders will be for rent as they are brand new. . . . but if you buy
a transponder, you won't buy another one in the next races to come. . .

i think it's a good investment if you're competitive. . . . but then if you
would just play for fun. . . then that's another case. .

but anyways, will ask the organizers if they are willing to rent out
a set of transponders. . . .


cheers

Thanks for the info
I'm only in the country for another few months or so and I'm also at school so while it may be an investment, I can't afford it right now

Hey Gents,

All my kits, everything I have, up for grabs.

If you know me, you know it's top notch.

Plus I have a few other rigs as well.

Give me a shout if you're interested.

Thanks

Well Gents,

After 21 years of living in Dubai, the time has come to move back to Southern California.

I'd like to say Thanks to all of you, for your contributions to this thread, to all the fun we've had together, to your hard work towards both Nad al Sheba and Al Lisayli, your support and teaching me the tips and tricks of this hobby, and most of all your friendship and camaraderie.

It's been an absolute blast.

Everything that's partially or wholly owned by me that I've donated to the track I leave for the (hopefully) new track in the care of Rashid, Arif and Gustaf.

I'll miss you all and I hope you all keep enjoying this wonderful hobby.

I'm sure one day we'll get the support we need.

Thanks again.

Greg
