i live on a farm in massachusetts, and we just got a whole lot of fill from an excavating site. we have about 200 yards of clean fill so i decided that i'm gonna make a track in my back yard. i want to put some cool things in my track. i want some new awsome things.

please give me some cool ideas. i have tons of stuff lyin around, i.e. pallets, misc other things and i can figure out how to make just about any thing, so PLEASE give me some aweet idea's to put into my track.

i already thought of :

bridge
huge step up - to step down


thx for your help!!!!

get some triples and quadruples. and several table tops. along with the straights filled with bumbs. and some ruts too! try making an octuplate jump! and some huge singles, like 4-5 feet high! and the doubles should be 3-4 ft tall! and the first jump on the quadruple should be 5-6 ft tall. and make steel jumps. they fling your buggy unpredictably!

octuplate?

8 jumps in a row.[X(] yep, it's all good

1]multiple large step downs in a row:

|_____________
||||||||||||||||||||_____________
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||___________ __
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||_____________



2]HUGE berms where you can basicly "ride the wall" and be completely sideways

3]large rolling hill(s) - not for jumping but to make people have a short hillclimb

4] instead of straits use curvy lines:

[]------[]
[]------[]
-[]------[]
--[]------[]
---[]------[]
----[]------[]
----[]------[]
---[]------[]
--[]------[]
-[]------[]
[]------[]


5]whoops!

6]Step-ups with landing(ingore the dots)

7] bumps on either side of the track

8]have a stait section of track where the center is up about a foot and the edges slope downward - forcing you to stay to the narrow center or ride on the slanted surface.

9]have a stait section of track where the center is down about a foot and the edges slope upward - forcing you towards the center lowered section. - so passing has to be done on the incline.

10]I have spent way to much time 10minutes making this up - buy hey it was fun making the pictures, lol

hope this helps!

and those freakin bumps on the straits that upset buggies and you have to slow down or risk flying!

The spelling is 'octuplet' by the way...

Study the tracks that already exist, and then make them more extreme, if you feel a need. Thing is, you are not gonna come up with a better design than the professionals, so why not simply copy the layout of a world class track. It will be better than anything you can come up with on your own, and you can of course change the surfaces, frequency of bumps and jumps etc. By the way, don't bother with the 4-5 ft jumps (rustler, what planet are you on? Steel jumps??!? They fling your buggy unpredictably??!?), you will just have your friends complaining when they destroy their buggies. Have you seen the Inferno promo video on kyosho's website? It's awesome, but there must have been some broken buggies after that event, they were going easily 20 feet in the air off 6ft crossover jumps...

There's an idea for you, actually, crossover jumps, you know, jumps where it's possible to have a midair collision with another car going over the oblique jump. See the kyosho video if you don't get what I mean...but u don't need to build 'em 6 ft tall!

Ooh, one more thing, my local track has a short (only three turns), fairly technical tarmac (asphalt) section before the straight, which is very popular, if you can get hold of some tarmac, of course...

Peace...

sweet idea's, keep em commin
