this might sound dumb but why do you want one thats curved?

1Nightrider1

more curve gives u more momentum and sends ur truck flying (backflips) ( more air)

I made one of these: [link=http://www.rccaraction.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=8375E1E1A7444F68BDD181959263DB0F&nm=The+Magazine&type=PubPagi&mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle+Title&mid=13B2F0D0AFA04476A2ACC02ED28A405F&tier=4&id=C822891747514A6E9365DAEBAF04008E]http://www.rccaraction.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=8375E1E1A7444F68BDD181959263DB0F&nm=The+Magazine&type=PubPagi&mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle+Title&mid=13B2F0D0AFA04476A2ACC02ED28A405F&tier=4&id=C822891747514A6E9365DAEBAF04008E[/link]
Works fine.

If you wanted a curved ramp for more height: [link=http://rampplans.org/ramps/Mark_Phillips/]http://rampplans.org/ramps/Mark_Phillips/[/link]
Just decrease the length and don't install coping.

ya im dumb i could try one but is like 7:50 here still light but by the time i get one built itll be dark

1Nightrider1

ur not gonna build a ramp before dark trust me i thought i twas easy at first and it ended up takin me 2 days

pinky2252s

ya i'll try tomorow but im going to D.C. from monday to friday so i probley wont be able to try it

1Nightrider1

i cant see the pictures so i dont know what id be doing

Danju

i cant see the pics either...

anyhow, i'm currently working on my second ramp. this time it will be mini. 16" high, 27" long, and 28" wide. pics will come later when i finish. (it would be made with scrap wood pieces, so dont expect to see plywood).

Here is the Ramp I made several years ago. Very big, easy to hit and gets you huge air when you go at a decent speed.

Here is my piece of work took about 45 minutes(looks like I only took 5) and works great, looks like crap but gets the job done and back flips are no problem,,hit second gear before the ramp and the truck is over your head. The other links look like great ramps but I just used some scrap wood sitting in the garage.

reb2973 thats sorta the design im looking for i dont want anything to fancy and i dont want anything to crappy and ur s is just what im lookin for

Reb2973

well I must say, I didnt think anyone would like my design. Im glad it helped out with any ideas you come up with.

Danju

This is my second ramp (its pretty small). im not quite finished with it though. the specs are: 16" high, 27" long, and 28" wide.

heres how i make my jumps, i get like 2x6 wood and cut the curve w/ a jig saw. it works mighty good and as strong as can be.

1Nightrider1

is there a tutorial to make that unlimited engineering one?

jgeck90

i doubt it, they want to make the money. lol

Tmaximum375

Here is the unlimited engineering one, sorry for the trouble guys, this is no small ramp but stores easily!

As you can see from the pictures, it is a very simple design but works like a charm.

Materials needed are:

~ 18' of 1.25" PVC Piping.
1 1.25" "T" connector for the center post.
2 1.25" 90 connectors for the two end post.
4 1.25" PVC clamps to hold the pipes in place.
1 6" by 4' longer pice of wood. (ply)
1-2 4' by 8' sheet of wood. I am using 2 sheets for strength.
PVC Cement
Several Screws and washers!

Here are the most detailed pictures I could get for you guys and I hope you get the drift. Let me know Thanks

A vid from the other day I made with me hitting it slow because it was raining and I couldn't get any speed.
