Overheating issues finally solved:

Hi @Ankit Jain plz share the model. You will need to make sure the 16 channels can be programmed as per our frequencies (not a pre-programmed model like the Baofeng 888 model). Motorola MT-777 or Crony MT-777 are good, as well as the Baofeng UV5R.

Hi @Sudhanva Sonawane thanks for your introduction and welcome to Carnity Offroad Club ! Please take your time to watch the Absolute Newbie Briefing video, and i am looking forward meeting you on Friday ! Hi @Mohamed Aashiq Salahudeen I noticed that you have completed already 1 Newbie drive in Sweihan last week. So that makes you a Newbie. The Absolute Newbie level drive is only for first joiners to the club, so kindly remove your RSVP and sign up for any of the available Newbie drives this weekend. Thanks !

I would advise the following, but i am merely a beginner, so please correct me if i made a slip up: - Use Shutter Priority Mode (TV on Canon Cameras) - Lock your shutter speed to 1/500 or 1/1000. -Leave ISO on AUTO. - If the object is moving, you activate Burst mode. In combination with Continuous Focus Mode will make it easier to get sharp shots. - Set your aperture to F20 or something to start with, at least everything in the distance will be sharp as well.

SOUND is indeed one of the main reasons why many are biased to believe their car has suddenly more power because they hear more ROAR. The manufacturer indeed engineers these things with minimum noise in mind, which is NOT what we want of course Perhaps a snorkel would generate a more resonating sound, and with the air being sucked in from a higher point it might suck up a little less dirt, compared with the intake being at the front grill, or in the Pajero's case in the wheel well.

Happy birthday @Asif Hussain !!

I found it by coincidence after one of my many sleep deprived Google Sessions The biggest risk in my opinion is the chance that an aftermarket airfilter or Cold-Air-Intake system can get loose, or the filter medium can get damaged, leading to possible intake of sand with a devastating result. For Offroad purposes, and after trying a K&N filter that needed extra oiling and maintenance, i decided to stick to my OEM air filter and clean it regularly.

I recently found a study that was done in 2015 that showed pros and cons of Aftermarket Performance Air Filters. The specifically look at the power gains and fuel economy. The results and outcome might be surprising for many. You will find the detailed report in the attached PDF. 1-s2.0-S2212017316301475-main.pdf

Welcome to Carnity Offroad Club @Maria Rodas ! I am delighted to see husband and wife both hitting the sand and starting the adventure. No doubt that @Daniel Rodas now comes home with lots of stories and sand in his socks. Soon you will be doing the same To get you accustomed to the basics, please watch the Absolute Newbie video briefing a few times this week, this will serve as a good preparation and introduction to what you can expect. MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING If you have any questions in the meantime, you can use this drive topic to ask them. See you on Friday !
