I have about 400 decent sized logs and I’m going to get a rock crawler soon so how would i build a crawler track
(I’m open to building stuff to and I want to go all out on it)

Yes they are like 2 inch to 6 inch thick not heavy at all I’ll be home in like 20 minutes when I get home I’ll take some picsPlenty of stuff on YouTube to give you ideas. I know you're deciding between an Everest and SCX24. I can tell you're leaning towards a 1/10, but you simply don't have the budget to turn a stock 1/10 into a capable crawler. For the price of the Everest, you could easily modify an SCX24 into an outstanding crawler.
Back on subject. It is significantly easier to build a great 1/24 course than an ok 1/10 course. Post pics of the layout of these logs and perhaps members can suggest ideas. Also, are you able to move these logs around?
Oh. When you said decent sized logs, I was thinking over 12".Yes they are like 2 inch to 6 inch thick not heavy at all I’ll be home in like 20 minutes when I get home I’ll take some pics
Well yes I do have some like that but 75% of it it’s 2 or 6 inchesOh. When you said decent sized logs, I was thinking over 12".
My local hobby shop ( wreckless hobbies ) has a nice crawler track but I can’t always go there and it’s like $5 a day to do any tracks and I don’t always have a way to get thereNot mine, a pic I had for a long time. All the same, just smaller items.
I would go larger scale if money allows. I take mine for walks and look for places to crawl.
If you go smaller, look up model train setups on youtube. Might get an idea or two.
Here's the scale thing to consider again. A 1/10 will run through that log pile in probably less than 30sec. A 1/24 will probably take about 2min or more.Here what I’m working with I can cut some of these so make a bridge (that has gaps) here’s where I would like to build it I can clear the brush out
The pic I posted appears to be an rc or rc and mx track.Not mine, a pic I had for a long time. All the same, just smaller items.

Wow. I want to live there. Do you think they would notice an RV parked there?The pic I posted appears to be an rc or rc and mx track.
Google earth the address.
5303 Blackfoot Trail SE, Calgary AB T2H
I wonder if they will notice 2? Better yet, we can park our rvs across the street at Trailer Town.Wow. I want to live there. Do you think they would notice an RV parked there?
Hell, we don't even need RV's. We could live in a brand new trailer every night. We just need some long heavy duty extension cords to power our chargersI wonder if they will notice 2? Better yet, we can park our rvs across the street at Trailer Town.
Oh heck yeah, you've got lots of great raw materials and space to use them. You should be able to get a nice course set up.Well yes I do have some like that but 75% of it it’s 2 or 6 inches

Ok yeah i think I’ll get either a crawler or drift car 1/10 for my bday then I’ll save up for the other oneOh heck yeah, you've got lots of great raw materials and space to use them. You should be able to get a nice course set up.
If I were in your situation I would wait until I had my rig to work on the course. In the mean time I would start sketching up plans and making notes.
You don't want your course to be too easy or you will get bored quickly. But too hard and you will get frustrated. Try to pick some ideas that you really like then see how you can mesh them all together to make a challenging but fun course. Make it so you can change it up occasionally.
Ok thanks for the adviceRemember, it's best not to rush. Enjoy the hobby and the cars/trucks you have. There will always be something you want and that's good, but you don't have to have it all at once. Don't let your hobby become shopping!
