I was supposed to start off the weekend by riding out with the Desert Bike Club but couldn’t get myself to wake up at 6:30 in the morning for a 7:15 meetup. But I still managed to save the day by heading down to Bnaider. A friend of mine built an RC track at his chalet so I took two cars, my Tamiya FJ CR-01 crawler, and my Xray 808e buggy.

The video above should give you an idea about how fun these cars can be. Mine is the pink one that starts off strong and then falls behind.
I like this shot since it captures an interesting moment when 3 off us go airborne but each one heading off to a different direction.
These two aren’t RC cars but they’re still cool toys.

Wow I didn’t know someone owned an Ariel Atom in Kuwait. Any idea on who it belongs to Mark?
yeah
Ah…well if you ever meet up with him again, tell him that I would very much like to see how my MP4-12c stacks up against it, since its the only car that beat my car in the Top Gear Track Times so far.
*Once it gets here…lol Should have made that point clear. My car is still in the production phase.
when will it get here? I’d be interested to see how they’d stack up as well.
Well originally it was suppose to be here by the end of this month but due to production issues (or so I am told), it has been postponed for another month or so.
sucks. u planning to take it to gulf run if it gets here in time?
Maybe, depends in whether I can find the time to do so.
Hey Bajs, first of all Congratulations for owning a McLaren (A dream car for 98 % of worlds population) i will pay you 10 KD just for a 2 min ride ! ;D i am 19 and i will not drive i will just sit on passenger side ! so atleast i can say my friends that i sat in the Godly McLaren which i just used to drive in NFS Shift XD lol
Lol thanks for the praise but I won’t be making any promises until I actually have the car parked outside 😛
sweet, congrats. am sure ur happy about being one of the lucky 13 allocated to Kuwait. What color?
Mclaren Orange, wanted to go with the original Mclaren color for the F1.
Same one from GR?
There wasn’t an aerial atom during GR. The lotus was. the atom has only been in Kuwait for less than a month.
O_o i am the real Burhan here who are you ? lol

Hey Mark, is the Ariel Atom legal to drive in Kuwait ?
yeah it is. has turn signals, license plate holders and everything.
You need to water down that track. How are the lipo cells treating you?
Yeah I told them they need to pack the dirt. My car kept flipping on the turns because the wheels would dig in. My lipos are doing fine. Got the turnigy ones from https://hobbyking.com for very cheap and they’re working fine. The hard case is shit, I got two batteries and both have had their cases crack but nothing ducktape can’t fix.
Atom is hot!
was on the atom this friday, and may i say, the beast was FAST, i mean uncontrollably fast! allah e7afthik wehanik
I love how the guy is just standing around the track is on standby just ready to help out any flipped car
It’s a must since we were controlling the cars from the hill top
next time, cameras fitted onto the cars 🙂
Cool video. Funny race and great looking Atom 🙂
