I have decided to build a rc track in my yard. U guys in this forum no so much that i think u guys could help me out. Is there anything u guys really like in a course, something unique, or just an idea? Any certian kind of jump u like? i am starting to get the track flattened out. I am open to anything. If u want u can make like a doodle. its roughly a 90by 90 triangle (maybe bigger)

thanks

My Feedback: (1)

I personally like change in elevation. I also like banked turns and cross overs. Take a look at some of my vids if you want to see what I did. I am not saying mine is perfect by any means just giving you some ideas. www.putfile.com/chubbysdad

throw in some negative banking in a turn or two. Its a heck of a challenge to drivers used to positive banking, and makes for some wild racing.

My track started out great i started to clear the grass because its like a field. I was almost done and out of nowhere i got stung by 8 ground bees.[:@] I stopped clearing for a while and went back at it. Im not done yet so u can still tell me what u like on ur tracks

triples are always fun. doubles, table tops, offset jumps, all that good stuff

Update: I finally got to the part where i can start putting dirt on the track. Im about one third done with it but other than a flat dirt trail its really nothing at all. I am taking in concideration and will most likely get eveything in the track. I no i will have triples, doubles, table tops, offset jumps and banked turns. The only thing im not absolutly 1000% sure about are cross overs and negative banking. I probably could fit a couple more things on this track but hurry because i will almost positively be completey done in a week or 2. I will post pics when its done as well

Build a double to cross over a section of the track. Long straights into big jumps are fun :]

What are you looking for in the track? Speed or technicality? I'll make a drawing in paint of my ideal course.

StephenW

eathier one is fine...I was going to have a short straight birm straight tabletop. Like u were sort of saying.

I have the dirt track laid out right now. I have it a lot smaller than it will be but it will eventually grow. I will almost certainly be done this weekend

StephenW
