New 1/10 Off-Road Track in Kuwait
 

Hey guys,

just wanted to share with you some photos of the new track that i'am building here in Kuwait for 1/10 electric off-road cars.

the track is an outdoor track made of agricultural soil that will be sprayed later with our secret liquid to turn it into a very high bite surface.

its 30 meters long and 12 meters wide, straight line is 3 meters wide, and the rest of the track is between 2.5 to 2.8 meters wide. i think its perfect for 1/10 cars.

so far we have finished the whole sand/dirt work, compacted everything!! and its looking good so far. looking at the Hotrod hobbies track on youtube, i wanted the same outside barrier/fence so thats what we did, wooden fence painted in white and looks amazingly good. still to ley down the 2.5'' pipes and put the grass looking carpet in the dead areas :nod: we also need to build the drivers' stand, any ideas would be great !!!

Wow very nice track! I wish I could build something like that locally
How much dirt and what mix did you use if you do not mind me asking ?

Nice track you'll have to send more pictures when it's all finished but you guys are definitely doing it up right.

Very nice! Lots of hard work and it shows. :nod:

very cool.....looking sweet bro!

Awesome Ali, You guys sure know how to do it on that side of the pond. :nod:

looks like a damn fun track!

hey guys,

thanks a million for the kind words, Trev ,Chris thanks bros :nod:

about the mixture, not really sure whats the name of the soil.....its called ''Gatch'' a soil thats normally used under asphalt roads!!!!

leyed down around 4 40 footer trucks to make the base, after spraying and compacting, the whole area was raised around 20-25CM, we then mixed about 30% of agricultural soil and 70% of this Gatch to form all the jumps, compacted the whole track around 3 times, installed the barriers and recompacted it.

am supposed to ley down the hoses today but its been raining for the last 2 days in Kuwait!!! :flaming:

waiting for the surface to dry to pin all the hoses and spray our secret liquid :lol:

cheers

Is that in kuwait city? Tell you what, could make a wicked sand track there. Dunes for miles. Spent my fair share of time in kuwait.

That's awesome! Send us some action pics.

Sand tracks sucks buddy, no grip and kill bearings super fast, i hate them !!
Jonnie, thanks for the kind words, still waiting for the weather to improve to fix the hoses and start the action :)

Cheers
