Here is a video of our local club (3 of us) efforts to build a track, it's a bit deceiving to understand the scale but it's 150' straight and 100' across.


More vid to come later this weekend, just running it to see what needs changes......any thoughts or ideas are welcome!


Moo...are you going to come have go with us? :) we will have a late Sunday "bust it" before you go area! :eek:

Have a look at my solution to the shock delima.. I installed Smartech Titain/Thunderbolt rear shocks to the front of my MT, almost a perfect fit, just had make a crude mount but man what a diff in handling...and look at the size of the shafts!

Cool vid guys , we just redid our track today. I'm going out tomorrow with my rampage to try it out , hope to get some video of the beast going over the new big air jumps.....yikes where can i get more parts......♥
 
the track is looking good. before it was just an ovel right? i think its great just the way it is. the only thing i can see is maybe some kind of wall by the drivers stand. either that or just put bob closest to the turn so you don't lose any limbs..lol..
 
Thanks Krypt, yah it started as an oval but it soon got boring...hopefully this will do us for a while lol! Sunday will be the test thought, 4-5 on the track at once! Can't wait!
 
You guy's have a watering system? Was it a buggy at the start of the vid? May want to adj. the front toe for better turn it.


Pretty nice layout, could use a couple more jumps.


Yea oval get's boring real quick, unless you got 5-6 guy's running at the same time.


Great vid, though!
 
Yes we do have a Kubota hobby tractor with a watering attachment, only thing is we will have to truck the water in... The first rc was a MT with a tt5 body and yes it has/had major issues, both front phatdad shafts bent and the tire foams or lack of added to an unbalanced almost undrivable rc....but you make do in a pinch lol!
 
Looks pretty good, mabe a couple more jumps later on would be nice. But making that first jump higher for a little more air would be kick butt.
