Just make sure you get used to the notion of securing and strapping any loose items in your vehicle. The drive on Saturday is smooth but in general you want to get into the habit of not having any loose items in your vehicle. Don’t worry about it for Saturday but it’s the habit and reflex of securing any moving object when you drive anywhere outside the tarmac. Well done and congrats on getting your gear !

Now I’m thinking of getting one too!

Here is a great overview written by @Frederic that gives a knowledge boost about compressors. While it’s 3 years old, it still holds. Hope it helps.

@Alex M welcome to the club! Both the bigger club and the smaller circle! @Luke K P one more is added Will this be your first drive of your Raptor on the sand ? If yes, prepare yourself to add a level 11 of fun from a 0-10 grading system

Here we go again….🤦‍♂️ 😄😄

I am sure there will be more purposeful drives @Ishak! Looking forward to seeing you on the next one

You are the trigger of all this. All thanks to you man! We have to plan the Qudra trip together as you have raised the bar so high by having such a fluid track after the clean up event that the bar is quite high now . Looking forward for the next one and to creating a snow ball effect from this!

Happy to hear all is ok. Did you miss the drive or you mean you missed the cookies ?? Because of you I was thinking of suggesting to @DP1011 to change the name of the drive to: “Where Are My Cookies Drive!” 🤣 What is good as we all grow and learn in this fantastic hobby is the learning experience in every drive. While I know it is easier said than done, I am sure you have it programmed in your list of reactions now, is to let the wheels roll, even if you are off track, as the weight while dropping plus the brakes ,in that split second, is a quick recipe for a pop out. As discussed, the best thing about small mishaps like this, which are an integral part of the game, is to see them as learning opportunities and accelerators of growth. See you on the next drive!

. After this, I am going into Fewbie ++ then FB+++ I will convince the crew members somehow

You got set up!!!!

@DP1011 thank you for this great initiative!! As off-roaders, it is our responsibility, even obligation to keep the desert better than we found it and today @Carnity did exactly this. I hope we have more purposeful drives as it adds the cherry on top to our hobby! I am sharing the link for the "Before Carnity" and "After Carnity" effects for everyone to see. I thought it is better to have a topic by itself rather than have the videos buried as part of the drive event, hopefully as a start of environmentally-friendly initiatives. Thanks to you DP, I feel i did something useful today and I am sure all the other drivers feel the same. Note: In the videos, you will notice we missed 3 pieces of litter in the area. Just a small mental note for the next time we are there The link to the 'Before and After' Videos can be found here: https://we.tl/t-8yr6JW4Z93 Thanks again for this thoughtful initiative! Special thanks to everyone who participated as well: @Emanuel @Jun Zamora @Mahmut@J-P L@khlief@Pramod B@Jeandre Bezuidenhout@Lala G@Anoop Nair

@DP1011 First of all Happiest Birthday !!!! May you always have Health, Happiness and Success! Second, Happy Diwali to you and everyone who is celebrating! Third, THANK YOU for a great drive!! This has been a mix of noble acts, fantastic tracks and a great company. Great choice of tracks. This drive had 0 negative points around it!

Hoping we repeat and expand this initiative into different locations. @DP1011 there is an area in Qudra desert that is in need of help as well. Maybe we can consider a second drive in that area soon. There are a few small playing grounds there as well as a bonus .

One of the results of this topic 🤦‍♂️ An additional extension arm and ball connectors as well are on the way.
