Thanks! I think my first track was my best one. Much larger.

It works like this. I was going to spray paint a solid color but just started using it right away.

It is in the works. I plan on getting some better equipment.

I hear you. Working on getting something.

I was surprised but hopeful.

I will give it a try. Sounds like it worked really well. Glad you didn’t give up on it.

@@rcredrockUT it made it much easier

Not heard of that. I got mine without any. But it took me a bit to figure it out.

They are very nice rims. Keep at it and you’ll get it.

Haha, yup!

Thanks, this track is now open to the public at RC Arena in Salt Lake City if you were close to there and wanted to try it.

Thanks Matt, there is a regular build video for that track. You can find it in my library. You could see the whole build from start to finish as well.

@@rcredrockUT Thanks! Will definitely be checking it out.

Good idea. I didn’t do it before because I know it can crack when it dries if too thick but maybe that can just be a detail feature

@@rcredrockUT that’s what I did to mine and it came out amazing and it only cracks if you put it on like 2 inches thick works perfect. You can just make little milkshakes and brush it on with the chip brush and thank you so much for posting your videos. it helped me out so much to build my red rock Course

Thanks. I appreciate it! Hopefully helps you out with your build.

Great comments and advice as always DVF! I had a 1/10 with tons of weight in the wheels. I may try that in the future. If I get it to dialed everything will get to easy. Haha.

@@rcredrockUT That is the exact reason I keep a low modded C10 around. Its really light, about 320grams with its mods and really difficult to drive on the Carpet Mountain.

Thanks 👍 glad you liked it.

Awesome tip thank you! I will for sure give that a try when they start popping off.

Wow, thanks man. Appreciate that so much. And super glad so many people are enjoying that track. I will get to some updates on that track in a while. I want to do some RC upgrades first.

Some sections yes. There are some other sections and I have more rock I want to add to it that can change up if I get bored

Haha thanks. Would be fun. Don’t have friends close by that do this.

The articulation section is tricky and the main hill climb too. Didn’t film that part as it was still wet.

@@rcredrockUT Awesome dude! The more difficult the track the more you want to conquer it. Easy tracks get boring very fast. This one looks like shes got some tough parts that will keep you coming back for more.

Thanks. Appreciate that.

Love your colors on this course, spot on. What products did you use?

I try to do that, but sometimes there is not anything right behind it and that doesn’t work. But in the flats I do that. In my second track build I am using a method someone suggested which is using a chip brush and plaster of Paris. Works really well quick.

Yes, I stopped posting update videos. Trying to get more done some more to see in end video.

Thanks. Excited to get it done!

Yea. I hear you. The hill climb on the inner side is one. The pole bridge is another especially going around the turn. And for the most part you can’t just blow through the track. I didn’t get some video but will when I get back into town but the turns are off camber and perhaps a bit more challenging than you think. I had some friends over and the guy didn’t think you could climb the hill, I was able to show him that you could. Happy to make some changes to it though, what would you change in the flat areas?

@@rcredrockUT I prefer fairly challenging obstacles that sometimes require backing up and rethinking the line, kind of formulating a plan if you know what I mean. For this course, could have a few 1 to 2 inch stair type rocks and more elevation changes aside from the ramps. A really nice video with some good ideas is... "AC:RC My backyard micro crawler course". To each their own though, if you have fun with it, that's all that matters. Just from my experience, I went to easy on my first build and got bored and redid it. I would think if a 10' section of course can be done in under a few minutes, it may be a little to easy and not have the replay value.

@@VetteWay2Fast So based on your suggestions I added more of what you said. There are steps up and downs, you can not go straight through. I ran out of plaster cloth but just got more in so I will keep going with it. I do appreciate the feedback.

@@rcredrockUT Nice, look forward to seeing the changes!

Glad you like them! They are a bunch of extra work but happy to share. Excited to get to the details.

Me too. Should get new batteries this week so I can test it out.

Thanks a ton! Yes. This week should make good progress. I’m excited to check it out too and bummed by batteries aren’t working. New ones should be here this week.

@@rcredrockUT So with these lil lipo batteries, dont leave em plugged in and use the power button to turn it off as it will drain the battery lower then it should go and it wont charge up anymore. I use mine like if its plugged in its ready to rock, if it sits for a bit I unplug it. Also just letting it sit uses a lot more power then ud think, like if you are testing the lines on the track and have to adjust something, unplug it, its gonig to drain it down past that 3volts or w/e the chargers need to see it deem it worthy of charging. :) Ive gone thru about 6 batteries this way, just forget that Ive left em in there and boom, another 25bucks gone to the wind.

@@DurpVonFronz Yes, I think I am on my 5th battery. I need to pay closer attention to them. I hate buying batteries all the time.

Awesome. Well, in American Fork a guy who bought my big track did open an indoor crawler place if you wanted to go down and check it out. I’ll see if I can get the details for you.

Yes! Please do.@@rcredrockUT

Also, it looked like you are in St. George, is that right?

@@2blackfox1 No, north of SG by 40 mins in Cedar. Also, 8683 Sandy Pkwy, Sandy, UT 84070 is where my track resides.

No, this base is much smaller. A friend got some new cabinets and they were shipped with these bases. So the track obviously is wider than the 2’ base. I am currently out of the country but when I get home I will put the measurements in the next video.

The first track was built on a 4x8 sheet of OSB plywood.

I am traveling in New Zealand with my father and my youngest son right now. I should get back home around Dec 4. I will try to get an update done and up within a week or two.

@@rcredrockUT SWEEEEEET!!! Safe travels! Look forward to seeing the completed course.

@@TRIMGUY37 i should have a video posted Sunday. I’ve put in over 5 hours so lots of progress.

Thanks so much! I’ll check for the royalty free YT. I’ll try the cold water trick on the plaster. I found another material I want to try called masonry plaster. When I find that I’ll give that a try too.

Ha, thank you 🙏

Thanks, glad you like it!

Glad you like it!

Thanks. Appreciate that so much. Helps motivate me to finish the next track.

Thanks! Was fun to run it.

Thanks 🙏

Thanks, appreciate that. Helps keep me going.

That would be interesting. You do the carpet mtns already right? Boy, dipping carpet in concrete is gonna be so heavy! Maybe make sure it is on a rolling platform.

@@rcredrockUT Ive seen some guys make art from it., like a big chair, didnt look to heavy as it can only soak up so much, more so if its relatively thin material. And you dont need to make it as thick mix as you would for making a sidewalk or something like that. Kinda like what youve done here with the plaster. Thin and movable, that way you can work with it and get the shapes you need before it sets up and become permanent stuff. :)

@@DurpVonFronz what I love about doing stuff like this is just trying things. That’s what I’ve done. I’ve had some stuff not work. And other stuff does work. Let us know how it turns out.

Something like that is coming after paint. Check out the other finished track build.

@@rcredrockUT Oh I have, its a deadly track!! I think having the stone mixed in before hand would add depth and make it more rock like, more so in valleys and for climbing certain areas. Might even make it more aesthetic. I think the crushed granite would be the kewlest looking : P

@@DurpVonFronz when you say crushed granite is that the same thing as decomposed granite?

@@rcredrockUT Like chicken grit style, nice and small stuff. Its around the size of pepper corns. Get it a nearly any farm supply store.

Exactly. 4’x8’ osb with some overhang. At one end that part that goes up and a few inches on the front from the styrofoam. I am currently building another one on a smaller footprint. Should have a new video out on Sunday.

@@rcredrockUT Oh never mind, I see the video is already out. I thought you meant this coming Sunday haha. Thanks

Very cool. I would be interested in doing that to my cayman.

Thank you does it run really good?

Thanks. Helps keep me motivated to build more tracks!

Sounds like a good idea. Some projects I’ve done with drywall mud has cracked. But I’ve not tried the powdered type. I’ll try it next track. Thanks for the suggestion.

@rcredrockUT the hot mud is much better and you can get 5 to 90 minute work times. I like to mix in concrete dye so chips don't show.

@@joshheitzenroder365 I definitely need to try that. Finishing up with a new method for underside but it was time consuming and a lot of work.

Yes. Was just trying to feature the give away track.

Thanks more to come.

Ok cool. Good to know! Thanks for watching!

BTW a guy bought my first course and did open a shop in the Salt Lake City area. People love the course.
