Looks like fun! What gearing are you running on it to compinsate for running in the grass?

[pbsracerx]

I'm running 18/86 with stock motor and promatch racing 7c/4600mah pack. I also mow the track section of the yard on the lowerst mower setting which helps.

[Ranger_racer]

Cool. I wondered seeing that you were running larger tires and then also that grass is a good resistor.

You need to get a video up. Lol I think thats what everyone says but its cool to watch. How many others run with you?

How did you make the ramps?

[pbsracerx]

We have a group of about 6 of us that run on 2 differant backyard tracks.

Ramps are simple 1/4 plywood, 2X4 and screws. Since the cars/trucks do not weight a ton you not need super strong bmx/skate style ramps.

6th picture shows a good example: top of ramp is a 2/4 running across the ply and 2 legs attached to the long 2x4 (I choose 6" legs for height).

wow cool track i think i will do so i don't need to rip up the grass lol (i don't think my mom will allow it but she may allow grass and some tubing lol)

Looks good, nice track.

My backyard is about the same size, looking at the last pic. With a different kind of grass..they grow pretty short and now get a little dusty due to the grass balding up by the tires, but now most of them are bald, so powerslides are in order I use a 16/90 gear for bashing in tight area like this..it gives the truck more throttle response, especially for the stock titan.

Fixed picture size!

nice! So how are you holding the tubes down?

[3113]

I have similar track material in my backyard. I hold them down with 10" nails from Home Depot or Lowes.

[rustlerbasher]

sweet thank you!

[Carbonrevo33]

Nice track man! Very neat job. Looks very clean.

[pbsracerx]

nice! So how are you holding the tubes down?

14" metal spikes
9" in ground - 4" thru tube - 1" above tube with 1/2PVC caps as safety tops

I did not want my dog to be running in the yard and cut her leg open on the metal spikes, plus it looks better then a peice of metal sticking up thru the tube

Nice track man! Very neat job. Looks very clean.
