I started with a trx4 defender 1/10 then mosied over to element enduros and I now have an scx10ii. They all work great for different intentions. Overall my trx4 is what got me started so I have a soft spot for that in particular. My enduros out crawled a buddies modified scx10iii in certain aspects. Now my scx10ii is my go to and well I use it the most
 
Well thing is don't know that I'm just serious all in crawling. I don't have no places around with lots of rocks. And as far as what I got here at home this area below is what I have for crawling...View attachment 217380View attachment 217381
Plenty of potential. I would look around for some construction sites that have concrete debris or, simply go rock collecting. In my backyard my unfinished course is made up of concrete rubble and debris, along with river rock. @WickedFog or @Tunedfrog had suggested to pile up some stuff and use a burlap mesh or chicken wire to lay down and then skim coat it with some mortar to make hills and obstacles. Correction: @Tunedfrog suggested leave it loose to change it up if needed; @WickedFog suggested using mesh or wire with a coat of concrete or mortar.
Rock and debris collecting is a lot of work trust me; my little truck doesn't carry much in one load either, but well worth it once it starts to take form.
You have a pretty good-sized area, looks to be perfect for some minis too.

Yeah well there's definitely lots of River Rocks there already Ifvi just kinda move them around and pile some of them up.
