All good! At least I only had to pay the insurance!!! These stupid phones are too expensive. I don’t even know what a 13 pro max with 1tb costs these days but I know it’s a lot. I sure appreciate you brother! Hope you have a great night.
Something is better than nothing and you can always add more! At least until you run out of space or your lady says, that’s it! Lol. Gonna load video or pics somewhere? I’d love to check it out! Hope you have a great one, bro!
Turned out awesome! I want one 😍.,. I'm actually looking on FB for a free junk desk to do something like that and once we get settled add a couple sides and have a indoor fun. I realized I'm horrible at the videoing tho lol but good things come to he who waits. Gota dig up some tools first to get rig finished :/.... Catch ya next episode skin
Thank you brother! A big old solid desk would be a good base. Can find other free wood from places like cabinet shops, job site dumpsters (contact the contractor first), etc. Thanks for hangin bro! Hope you have a great one!
Im new into RC things, and of all the tutorials this one was one of my favorites. I never thought to try making some concrete mountains. Awesome idea and amazing tutorial!
Pro’ly too much. Lol. I would actually love to make faux rocks for a living. It’s incredibly satisfying. The work is meditative and enjoyable. Thanks for hangin, Brian! Hope you have great weekend!
Cheap acrylic paints mixed in a spray bottle with water. Works best not to get in a hurry and plan on doing multiple (many) coats. A bug sprayer would save squeezes. I’d error on too little paint than too much. Easy to add more. Proly somewhere between 8-12:1 (water:paint). Just spray it down, let it dry and repeat. Can very between light and dark, thick and thin coats to get different effects/coloring. I made it up as I went, so… thanks for hanging out brother! Any other questions, hit me up on insta or Joshua Darrel Ratliff on Facebook. Hope you have a great one.
Sand mix. It’s sackcrete. Comes in a 60lbs bag. You certainly could just get some cement and use sand but I haven’t done that. It was the white and green bag. It’s the same as the quikcrete, it just has sand instead of the gravel. Hope that helps! Have a great weekend bro!
Thanks brother! I built another one and will talk about it, the process, what I’ve learned and where to possibly score free building materials. Hope you have a great one!
Good stuff sir. Great technique and thank you for showing us how to. I'm going to start mine soon just to awesome not to have one in my own back yard. Great video as always.
Thanks brother! I’ll get another video out soon with a little more detail, hopefully, and I’ll talk about some things I’ve learned along the way. I sure appreciate you bro! Hope you have a great one!
Yessir! I was thinking of you all day when I was making this. Although it costs a lot of sweat, this is one of the most fun surfaces I’ve played on. I’ll have to talk about it in a video but it “slips to grip” in a way that can be so smooth and satisfying to watch. It’s worth the effort!
Bro!!! That came out sick!!!! I like that you used old furniture for the sub structure. Adding concrete dye is one way to add color, but my favorite way is to use liquid and granular Iron-ite for lawns. Spray the concrete down with the liquid and sprinkle the granular all over. It will rust in streaks. It will look like sand stone in Moab. Great job bro!!!🤘🤘🤘
Nice work. You’re the Bob Ross of crawler mountains dude. I’m over here with loose piles and you got me thinking I could just shape them somewhat and layer over it with your concrete mix recipe. Mark from SW Appalachia, Virginia.
That’s awesome bro they make a chalk like die that u can mix in the concrete to change the color of it before it sets and it will stay love the mountain looks really awesome 👏 🔥🔥😎👍
Yessir. You can color the concrete but it’s going to be uniform. I’ll prolly end up just staining it. The acrylic works great if there’s no direct sunlight be it’s going to fade pretty fast without protection. I sure appreciate you brother! Hope you have a great one.
Pretty cool bro 🔥💯🔥 That's what I love about these small scale RC crawlers you can actually build something really cool for them. And you guys have done a great job so keep at it man love you content.👊😉
Thank you so much! I love course building. Having the right terrain for whatever you’re driving makes it all the more fun. Thanks for hanging out, bro!!! Hope you have a great one.
Fantastic man!!!! Awesome job. So glad I came across this video. Son and I are new to these rock crawlers and I'm been searching How to's vids on building and outdoor course. Great video!!!!!
@@texomarc yeah it seem to be overcast here again. I might just tare into my gladiator today. Going to start upgrades for it. Only things I'm waiting for servo mount, steering links, Emax servo and brass diffs then I can finish it's upgrades
Looks awesome, one tip for the next time you can use wire mesh over the wood and when you apply the concretes stays there the mesh holds it together. Just over the wood it will crack eventually and may if even fall off on some sections. 👍👍
@@texomarc I found your group page. I am working with my local parks and rec to make a RC crawler trail and hopping your video will point them in the right direction.
Turned out great. Hope you found a cool day to work in, understand you've been having a few hot spells. New axles are out, you were right. They are wider, 4mm per side. Not cheap. But they are fully built and ready to go. The rear runs 16t while the front is 13t.
Yessir! I talked to Jeff from injora and he said they should be shipping with brass parts installed instead of the aluminum in a few weeks. They also need cvds. Not cheap? Hardly more expensive than stock! When I built the range it was over a hundred plus the heat index. A little sweat is a good thing, my guy! Lol. Hope you have a great weekend, buddy.
@@texomarc I was just about to order from them, its in my cart. I'll wait a couple of weeks then. Thanks for the heads up 👍 When I mean not cheap, I'm comparing it to a normal metal axle housing, but then your able to swap over the internals from the stock housing. Once you price up all the bearings, gears, shafts and steering links it not all that bad. I like the fact they offer them as single or pairs. I was going for the twin steering axle set for a 4WS setup. I got a Fly Sky GT5 which will be brilliant for this.
@@Hi_Doctor_Nick Yessir! I think that’s what I’m going to do as well. However, I wouldn’t want all the brass in the rear. I may send Jeff another message and just give him a heads up and maybe they can offer it that way? One with brass and overdrive with one that’s aluminum and standard? Or you can just swap the gear yourself.
Looks great! I came for the crawler stuff, but this looks great for general landscaping purposes. I want to integrate some crawler courses into my house now.
