Well, I tore my track up(literally, not figuratively) a few days ago. There's pics of it earlier in the thread. My dad decided that we were going to plant pumpkins in the garden this year instead. pretty ridiculous, huh? An RC track provides way more fun than pumpkins. All you can do is carve them, and make the worst flavor of pie. Rhubarb already sprouted in the middle of the track anyway.

Here they are, It was supposed to be over 100 degrees outside today. I can put puddles on the track and they dry up instantly so I am restricted to night racing. The large floodlight we had burned out do to weather. We just got three $5 65wt clip on lights at home depot and they light up the track very well without many shadows.

The track goes clockwise. The jumps in the front are more like bumps buy we can jump a few of them. I can do a double, single, double and single the rest. I've been killing my dads 18b with my mini-t.

Yea it's tight all I can do is a oval with a little kink in it but it's inside so I can still drive in the rain and thats the point of this track. I make a track in my front yard my laying out a few ramps and just finding a cool one that uses all or most of them.

- thankz

badboyznitro

Hey u guyz with the dirt courses how did u dig up the grass? Or did u buy the dirt.

- thankz

andrewtexas123

You can get some grass killer kill the grass then get a tiller or you could just dig up the grass. I reccomend the tiler tho, i think it is drainage pipe they are using.

Andrew

paint thinner works to kill the grass.

Gex_61

Thanks, part of the fun for me is changing it and it's always fun to drive on a fresh layout. They have to stay fairly challenging since I don't get many other racers out there.

Any pictures?
The black pipe around my track is corrugated(because of the ridges) drainage pipe. You can find it at a hardware store. You can use all kinds of things: dirt, garden hose, wood. If it's done right you can make it look nice.

I havn't had luck with weed killers and stuff for killing grass. I dug all mine out and kept an eye on it. If you continue to do track maintenance, eventually you wont have to do it as often. I use a hula-ho for mine. None of my dirt was hauled in, just strategically repositioned.

Gex,

Thanks for the ideas. What do yall' recomend as the best electric rc car to race on a dirt track that can hit jumps and go pretty fast.

andrewtexas123

What scale? If 1/18th get the vendetta it is 4wd and is the best racer i have seen.

Andrew

badboyznitro

Yeah in that area.

andrewtexas123

Go for the vendetta of the rc18b both buggys and can handle a beating plus they are 4wd. Thats what i would reccomend along with most of the people on this forum.

I need some ideas and tips on jumps and obstacles for my track. Thankz you guys are a great help!

badboyznitro

I know I'm asking a lot of questions and it's because I'm working on this huge 100' x 60' track for my nitro buggy (thinkin' about gettin' a losi mini-t or somthin' of the sort) and i want it to be the best it can be. Once it's done I'll get you some pictures.

My Feedback: (4)

Hey Gex let me know if or when you want to race at one of our tracks or even come out to the Haven on friday.

Gex_61

What tracks?

I'm racing in the expert truck class at the Haven. As soon as the mini-slider comes out, I will get the stuff to convert mine into a late model. That's all I have planned right now.

I also wanted to ask you if you knew where to get those metal disks they use at the track. I want a few for my backyard.
