Keep the track small so you don't have to have turn marshalls trucks.

Wow. This thread is sick. My dad has 5 acres with a few trailers and tons of mesquite on it. I'm gonna have to clear some area out there for a track. i live in the burbs and my wife definitely will not allow me to tear up the grass for a track. Although, I have a sprinkler system in the back that would be perfect to dampen it....

Is there somewhere that I can check for tips on how to design/build this track? I wish I had a cat but I think i will have to use my dads old school john deer and a drag along blade. Thanks to all the people who have posted pics of their tracks. They really are inspiring.

I unfortunately am the only person I know in the area into the hobby. But hopefully my fam and friends will get pulled in. Build it and they shall come right?

Where do you live? There's not a ton of people into the hobby around here either (MS) but I'm working on it

You are right though, build it and they shall come.

I'm in slowdeatha, texas. Did I say slowdeatha? I mean Odessa.

BlackDragon · 02-21-2010, 07:35 PM

Those tracks are real nice. Here in Ohio, if I didn't live in the backyard, the track would get grown up in weeds in no time. Luckily though, there's an RC track at the local park

Great track man!

17nut · 03-01-2010, 10:05 PM

wow! nice tracks

400sbk25 · 04-01-2010, 05:49 PM

My track. The jumps themselves are about 3 feet tall just to put it into scale.

Needs a little more work once it stops FREAKING RAINING

but this works for now.

Schwoebel · 04-11-2010, 11:35 PM

Love this thread. Going to start on a couple around my area. Looking as far as ideas go.
If you have a track grab your camera and post!

BoomDivX · 04-12-2010, 07:08 PM

Here's mine. There's no jump yet, not track yet because everything needs to be removable. So one day I can do a big oval race for either 1/10 or 1/5, then switch to a full racing track with cone, dot track, removable jumps and bumps.

I started from this: http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/5...090605018t.jpg

I need to wait for the next weekend to see if everything we did last autumn stayed there, because right now, it looks like this :P
