1/8 scale backyard track 1/3 mile long
Here is a 1/8 scale off-road track I'm building in my backyard. There are two tracks here. A high speed flat track with burms and a 1/3 mile long off-road track with hazards; mounds, jumps, rough terrain, 4 mud pits. The mud pits are piped to fill with water with a simple valve all at once. Took 3 days to build, some fine adjustments is still needed.

It will be a while, the scaffolding is going to take two weeks to get here from Home Depot. This will give me time to tune the jumps. My truck is way out of CG too, I'm moving the batteries to the front to start with.
I'm running a Redcat Terremoto V2.
This is the scaffolding I got, I won't install the wheels, but set it on a concrete or rock pad and anchor to my horse corral (if rock) or anchor to concrete pad. Also weld foot grips on the ladder rungs for those muddy days. Or course a roof too for hot or rainy days.
