Building an offroad R/C track. Help, Ideas, Suggestions.

Corner Numero 2 into the back straight. Took half an hour. Re-tilled and raked. Took a video of my little bro driving his truck around on it today. I'll post that up later.



Hoping to put in some heavy berms in the remaining four corners tomorrow and Friday.

 

Little brother driving. (Not very intelligent)

needs more dirt

 

Haha, wasn't quite done yet. We took a lunch break and I uploaded these. What I'm calling "finished" pics are incoming.

 

Yesterday I forced my little brother to help me work on this for the better part of the day and we more or less finished it. We re-worked all of the turns to sort of smooth them out and get some kind of a berm going on them.

There is one straight with 3 small jumps and the next straight has a slightly larger jump, followed by the next one where a decent sized table top lives.

 

Friend of mine just christened the track with his nitro sport.


I'll post up a vid later!

 

most of it still looks really bumpy and choppy....needs more dirt

 

Needs a good rain, man. S'posed to be gettin' some pretty soon.

You're gonna need a drivers stand. Our first one was a few stacks of pallets nailed together, and a couple sheets of plywood nailed down across the top. Don't forget steps.

 

Yea, we both noticed today that visibility is an issue. I think for now we're just gonna back our trucks up and let them double as a pit-table/driver's stand.

 

If and when y'all decide it's time for a stand, consider the sun and which way it sets. You don't want that in your face in the evenings. And the winter sun is totally different than the summer sun.

 

Fortunately the place where I would want a stand would put our backs to the sun in the evening. I hadn't thought of that, but I got lucky, I guess!

 

That's what you want, but, again, think where it sets in the warmer summer months. Are you gonna put lights up at some point?

 

Track still under construction. Just a quick vid of the progress so far. Might want to turn your speakers down/off. A lot of wind noise.

What rc truck is that? very very cool

 

That's an associated 2wd SC10 with a castle brushless system.

 

you ought to get a 2x6 or 2x12, weigh it down a lot and drag it over the track to help smooth it out

 

you need to figure out a way to water that track
