A Different Kind of Build

[livetorun]

This is a different kind of build thread (moderators please move if it doesnt belong here). Last year I bought an Axial Wraith RC car. Its been a blast and I figured, why not build some obstacles in my yard. So here it is, the start of an RC scale trail. I am modeling it after a real trail so if I succeed, you should be able to guess which one it is (if I already told you, dont spoil the fun ). This will probably take a while to complete since I'm fitting it in around real wheeling and work. Here are some pictures of the initial materials gathering.

Dragging rocks out of the woods.

Beats moving them by hand.

I started setting rocks in place today and moving some dirt around. Here are a few pictures of the progress.

That's cool, that rc crawler looks bigger than I've usually seen. But anyways looking forward to the new rock garden.

Its 1/10th scale.

Ok, its been a while but its time to play "Name that trail!" I had to take some creative license but the main points are there. There are still details I need to finish and I need to bring in more dirt.

This monster almost took the rear tires off the ground when I lifted it.

Pretend that wooden stake is a tree.

Thats awesome! Someone needs to build something similar to that closer to Charlotte. I don't have enough property or I would.

Re-creating a mini Lions Den. Thats badass.

 

[livetorun]
