Littlemotor’s private backyard 1/8 off-road track build thread 🤘😜

[Littlemotor]

Last photo… Far side of the tree line, and the big launch lander, and small table top shown..

Won’t be so confusing when the pipe is in place, and the rest of the jumps are at least roughed in..

That’s actually impressive work with the old ford

That Bota woulda been the ticket from the start!

I got a 2n in the carport getting rebuilt (well supposed to be I’ve been sidetracked with rc ). Great grandpa bought it new in 43

SWEET BERRY WINE!!!
Dr Steve Brule!!! omfg!!!

The track is looking killer bro!!!
I am blown away by how much work you've put in!

I'm headed to "fundme".com to open an "RCTALK.COM fieldtrip to Littllemotor's R/C, Track and Tractor" fund!
You said that septic system is fixed and ready for 30-50 campers in your yard, right?
I can't wait to see the vids of you all running your cars around this beast!!!
Nice work!!!

That is looking so danged good! What are your plans for the trees in the middle? You going to wrap them in foam or something, or just let them unleash their evil?

Yeah! You gotta pad them down low and install "catch netting" up high!!!
I'm not sure if its the trees or the Tekno's that will actually be getting saved here!

Thanks bro! The problem I have with the ‘bota is that the bucket isn’t even CLOSE to straight… Looks like a big ass orange MOUTH… It’s been really abused unfortunately.. It’s a must for the jumps, and taking care of what the blade did up top on the right side where the leach field is..

I appreciate it brotha! No plans but black pipe. If I get into those dudes-I need to step away from 1/8 off-road lol..

See above reply.

Yeah…. About that… Couldn’t have a productive day without ANY carnage… I’ll be spot digging for the intake pipe as soon as the rain quits.. Grabbed a shower after the lonnnnng asss day, and got the flashlight to show Mrs. Littlemotor the progress, and saw a damned wet spot right above the intake pipe to the tank spreading down about 20ft… FML.. that pipe is at least 18” under the surface AFTER dragging it.. the ONLY way that thing caught damage from that baby 8N driving over top of it is if someone didn’t backfill UNDER the pipe properly before shoving the spoils back over it… Hopefully my landlord understands that. I’ll do the work, and foot the bill for pipe, couplers, just don’t want him to be upset, or regret allowing this track deal to happen.. Can’t do shiit about it now..

I wasn't worried about YOU hitting the trees...

Jeez! Well I think it was you who said this build was gonna be tough!
I hope thats the last of your troubles!!!
At least this happened while you have the machines there to get it fixed up!
If your landlord is into R/C, they'll understand!

No-I’m talking about the vehicles not getting into them..

He’s not into RC, but he’s a good dude, and likes us pretty well, so hopefully that continues to be the case.. Like I said-can’t do much about it, but handle it..

I would expect that the landlord knows "sh*t happens" during construction anyways.
I agree that if you get it zipped up on your dime, he prob won't care.

That’s what I’m hoping.. Also hoping I’m harder on myself than he’ll be.. I don’t like screw ups when they ARE my fault-let alone when they’re NOT, but it LOOKS that way.. Either way-I’m responsible, and therefor will be accountable.

Well I made some time to get out there, and spot dig for the septic issue this afternoon.. I stress about shiit like this until I’ve got a definitive diagnosis..

The spot where I noticed the damp spot begin the other night after a long shower following working on the track alllllll day long.. Directly at the end of my sharp shooter in the photo for reference.

More photos for my reference, and to compare with the old photos of the initial work roughly 30days ago.

About a 1.5’x1.5’x1.5’ spot/inspection pit.

Septic tank intake pipe is about 1’ back, and 3.5-4’ right of where the water was coming up from when I saw it the night before last.

Dry as a bone after 36ish hours..

Followed the new clean out, and previous repair all the way to the tank. Went inside to flush both toilets (3) times, and ran all three sinks at once for about 4min.. Zero issues with previous work, and was bone dry until I exposed the lid. Noticed water flowing out from the clean out cap threads, and Sewage was overflowing between the top of the tank side, and the tank lid.

The GOOD news is that it’s in no way my fault from grading over top of the tank, and leach field. Bad news is-there’s obviously a blockage AT or AFTER the tank exit, between the exit, and the leach field.. Nothing is backing up, or slow draining in the house. We have more rain coming tomorrow, and Thursday, so the plan is a day for the dirt to have a chance to dry a bit, then diag the exit side of the tank Saturday morning, with room to run into Sunday if need be.

Landlord was Kool and the Gang eleventybillion%, so between that, and the tank being full after only 30days roughly-I feel MUCH better. He just wants me to build a MASSIVE set of doubles OVER the septic so I’m not running it over again… Nahhhhhh-I’m just fakkin’ with y’all.. He still can’t wait to see the track layout.. Best Landlord ever, and all around good dude. Counting my blessings on just how fortunate we are to have rented from them..

Considering there HAD to be some bad news in this leak, this is the BEST bad news there could be!
Your Landlord sounds like a real cool guy!
Happy building!!!

Just wondering if you're rethinking that catch-fence idea I had earlier???

I don't usually believe in coincidence but this is a happy sort!

As mentioned... CELEBRATE!!!

Nah-I can drive pretty decent lol.. The only things on the track that might be worth worrying about for me are the deck post next to the lane, and the BACK side of the massive wooden launch ramp next to the same lane, but on the opposite side.. . Oh well-it’ll separate the men from the boys, and let Darwin take over..
