I just made a small hillclimb in my bacyard. Its about 15ft long and pretty steep, Its soft dirt and I run my electric X-cellerator on it with Paddles. Anyone else have a hillclimber? Ill have pics Tomorrow if its not raining. Me and my friends are going to have races up it. It just needs to be a little more technical.

Cool, I love hillclimbs. The drivers who do hillclimbs in 1:1 cars have some courage.

So Cal

Yeah, its scary going straight up a hill super steep with all that horsepower. I want to make ledjes and stuff to get up too. The more technical the more rewarding it is to get to the top.

So Cal

The jumps are in my backyard. I made them for bikes then got out of biking. I just do downhill. I have a track on the side of my yard that I am getting video of today i think. Heres some pics of the hillclimb, this is after rain, its a little dryer now. My friend took these pics. He did a great job too.






Jumping down it.

So Cal

And heres a short video of me and my buddy jumping our cars. He is the big dude with the slash.

nice, we have the ultimate impossible hill climb, out of our dirt pit for our track, about 6' deep, one section is curved and its hard for our 18T's to get out of, prety fun when they do

So Cal

Yeah the 18t's arent that great of hill climbers unless it is smooth and you have a running start. And it makes it more fun cause its more of a challenge. Got anypics?

i got a 10' hill climb thats about75/105 degree angle. it hasnt been used for a wile on acount of this being michigan and me not having a car that can take it sinse june. onle one car ive owned could take it, that was an evader ext with proline masher 2000's on back and a 3000 6 cell

HJJFFFAA

105 degree angle?

cumquat

imagine you where trying to use a huge protractor to figure the angle, using the runway as the "0" degree incline, thepeak of the climb would be at around the 105 mark. u see what i mean?

pur3evil

You do realize that 90 degrees from flat ground is straight up?

I used to hill climbs with dirt bikes back in the day. There was always people giving the hill (about 300 feet tall) a run with their clodbusters and such. Quite a scene to see, but they usually would only make it about 60 feet before they couldnt go any further.

So Cal

Well, i just got a muggy and am taking it to glamis whenever i get a chence. And i am going to try to climb china wall with it. And im not going to run any padles, just the stock tires. The guy I bought it from said it would climb Olds mobile hill, so im going to try china. (Oldsmobile and china are super huge dunes in glamis that everyone gathers around and races up and down, and china wall is steeper than olds.)

cumquat

here is a diagram to explain

pur3evil

That would be considered a 75-degree grade. A 105-degree grade would be going the other direction. I get what you're trying to say, though.

cumquat

so there IS inteligent life on this planet.

HJJFFFAA

You think if I didn't know that I would've questioned you? It's not my fault you never learned to use a protractor.

cumquat

they dont call me moron for the fun of it. well, some do but not everyone.
