5:45 Puncturing a tree with screws, bolts, or nails won't hurt it. Wrapping something hard round the trunk will, over time. As the tree grows over the years, that clamp'll cut into the bark, and it'll slowly be strangled to death. I know this is a late comment, but if you want to keep your trees alive please switch to deck screws. Even a bolt going straight through the trunk in a pre-bored hole won't deal it damage- just avoid boring holes more than half the diameter of the trunk.
Awesome course and tips and tricks I have a backyard course and where I couldn't go out I went up 3 stories of pallet boards and tree limbs with a Rock first level looks like a mining town meets thunderdome lol I want to try the concrete out😁😀😀✌🏻
Hey!!! I'm in SWFLA....you forgot piles of broken asphalt!!! With all the road construction around here, there is asphalt as far as the eye can see!!!!!🤪 (Got an orange cat too!!!!😁😁😁)
Love th concrete I'm slowly doing that myself but I just can't do woof stuff outdoors, its rots its expensive I'm far from rich ànd that's my opinion on that but to each their own still gonna visit one day
Great job on your build, we will be building a few tracks soon. I took a walk out to our un maintained property and we have a lot of fallen trees and about 35 years of leaves everywhere. We are building 3 tracks, very small track for the mini trucks, a track for a road course for my buddies with cars and a track for my brother and I to hone our skills with the Redcat Gen 7’s. Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and your family.
Nice cource. I've build one similar in my backyard using scrap wood from my job, and stones from the surrounding fields. here in Denmark, we dont have that many sharp edged rocks and stones. So the challenge here, is to get a grip on the the round and "slippery" stones. I'm thinking about "spraying" them with a thin mixture of cement and gravel, to give them a little more rough structure/surface. Only "thing" to stop me from using scrapped concrete blocks, is my wife...
Wow the course looks great it's come a long way,this past summer,I'm adding 2 new sections this coming summer but man, love how the concrete looks great job brother..looks awesome
All this time watching your videos I assumed you had a concrete company and that you were bringing the wash out and tear out back to your house. Hand mixing all those bags is some serious sweat equity. What are you using to place the large chunks do you have a skid steer? It's an awesome course I'd love to visit it one day.
I would love to hear more on the design aspect of the concrete work. Are you planning lines or just geometry that doesn't greatly exceed truck capabilities?
Here's something I found works good to replace your footings....roofing shingles! They are light super grippy conforms to contours decently and easily added and moved about.
Awesome course!! How far are you from Ocala? My parents live there and we visit couple times a year always hit up scale Mountain but always looking for other places to visit. I would like to do week long vacation and hit up bunch of different courses. Florida is the meca of RC crawling and you get to enjoy it year round.
Could you make a video on how you guys start stacking the rocks, well concrete in your case. I can never seem to get my head wrapped around where to start on my own course.
If you ever sold your property and didn’t tell the future owners what all this was, they would be sooo confused trying to figure out what you were building 😂
Wow! Great course! I know it's a LOTS of works to make a course big like this. When i work on my course, it's always Build-Test-Correction-Test Again.I love this hobby .At 4:35 It's the best "RedCat" Crawler ever! He Own the parcours & a tree.....;-)Great job man congrats.
That's a cool course! Lots of time and sweat, no doubt. I'd like to know more about the how/why of obstacle design. Is it random, or are considerations made for travel, wheel base, width, approach angles, etc.? Thanks for sharing.
a little random and a bit of thought if that makes any sense. Toss them in place and just visualize if they are drivable or not, if its close, its good enough.
Cool! Have been building a course on my land in Tennessee. Watching anyone and everyone’s build video’s for idea’s. Most of my area is woods so have a number of log runs, some suspension bridge action, teeter totter that is built but not placed yet, a brick run that is a pumpkin catcher, Have a load or two of rock coming so your concrete section has given me great ideas for those. Did you move your larger rocks manually? Or you have a machine?
JMHZ2401 mr Exocaged I’ve never heard anyone talk about the arrma 550 can 12t and I’ve been looking for a bashing motor for the trx4. Well it’s a super fast brushed motor u should really do a comparison because it would be a perfect Capra motor or any bouncer. I have a titan 12t and it’s a turd compared
The Exoplex looks awesome! A plus for where you live is that it does't get -19C with wind chill outside (todays weather where I live) Thanks for the tips and ideas as I have a course in the works for the spring time!
