hi ,I'm from China
I want to organize a buggy match these days. I've got some problem in construct the track.
In the videos,I saw they use pipes to make it?
What kind of pipe should I use? its costs?
 
I’m not sure about the cost they will be different then here in the US.
The "White" colored pipe is PVC irrigation or plumbing pipe. Use 3 inch or larger. The black pipe is a 4 inch to 6 inch flexible irrigation pipe.

Welcome to RCNT!
What part of China are you located in?
 
The tracks by me use the black irrigation pipe. You can buy it at any home improvement store. I dont know what they have in China but I am sure you can find it. Its easier on the cars when you hit it, the black stuff gives, while the white pvc is very hard and will do much more damage to your vehicle.
 
I've also seen tracks use the yellow irrigation-like tubing. I'm not sure if it really is irrigation tubing, but I've seen it also used to pad the top of fences on baseball diamonds. It gives like the black stuff, but supposedly it's easier to see your tires on it if you run up on it because it's yellow.
 
Black, yellow or I've seen it in orange. Matter of preference and availability. Here it comes in 100ft (30meter) rolls. Usually it is secured with some sort of spike. Where are you in China?

now getting it to china is up to you....
 
if you have the space used tires is a very cheap option they can be laid out in the shape of your track and painted most garagres are alwyas looking to get rid of there bald tires. see pic this club in england use it.
