And the track build begins

[Addict Rc]

Ok today i started clearing out alot forgot to take before pictures but i cleared 3” of compacted leaves and a huge brush pile i did more but its too dark to take pics also found a 6x6 foot and 7” deep filled with rocks that took 30+ minutes to clean up

Looks like a good area.

Maybe get some friends into the hobby and do some spec slash racing? That would be fun. That is what I would probably to if I built a little track. Have them get a slash vxl. Upgrade them to the lcg chassis, cheap amazon servo, parts that break the most(caster blocks, steering rack, arms) and they would be ready to go.

Save those rocks, you never know when your going to need a rock crawling course.

 

[Tunedfrog]

A rock crawling course is mandatory around the race track.

 

[WickedFog]

You're off to a good start. Lots of work ahead, but at least it will be fun work!

Are you using Fusion 360 now?

nope not yet i will try it though but i have the trees out there so I'm thinking rap around those and I'm going to use the 4" um i can't think of what its called but everyone uses it for the sides of tracks and i want to make a straight away and then a jump going over the straight away i think that would be sick also theres a slash 2wd all stock but needs some parts going to get that working and maybe a 2s and maz10 combo in there just for offroad
