Yea man, i think you're getting it backwards a bit. The ultimate jumping machine is definitely a buggy, what with their long travel suspension, light weight, and insane power-to-weight ratio.

Monster trucks are large and slower, but can get though tougher stuff and larger obstacles because of the larger tires.



The track is looking a bit better I think, it's kinda confusing to look at. From already building one large dirt track I would say to just go out there are start digging. Put in what next you'd like to drive over with your truck, make it up as you go because in the end even with a plan it won't look much like what you thought. Especially if it's just for you and a few friends to go driving out back in the woods, not for some RC club or anything. You'll be doing a lot of changes once it's "finished" as lots of jumps will be too large/small or turns will be too narrow so don't put the shovels away once your track is built.

Oh, and find some friends, because jumps and tracks take a LOT of dirt. You'll be out there for hours.
