The time and energy to not only build this but to maintain it is impressive. Im currently building my first track and with luck in two years it will be on par. So much inspiration here.
Mr Backyard, my algorithm hasnt brought me to your page in a while. Starting to think about getting my track back in shape. New design since i watched last. Killing it dude!! Like usual
Thanks buddy. Yeah I haven’t put anything out in a little bit. My tracks current state is sad to look at. First year I let it go during the winter. Most years I would actually pull the pipe up and grade it out flat or make like a freestyle bash area with a couple monster jumps. But that gets expensive. I feel like we’ve had two straight months of rain and snow here in Jersey’s. I just keep the curtains shut so I can’t see it lol.
@backyardrcracing I rode bmx and mx my whole life, I literally have shovels tattooed on me. I live in central jersey and there is nothing for legit outdoor rc tracks around here so I said f-it I'm just gonna dig in the woods like I always have. So now I got something going and man I didn't realize how much I missed digging, shaping, and designing jump layouts. Lost 30lbs in a month from digging lol, yea my adhd flairs up like a pack of hemmoriods.
@backyardrcracing hey dude I was just thinking, about 8 years ago I got my stepson into rc and I remember us watching a cool video that I think was called "tekno rc whips" and if my memory is right it was a backyard track and I'm thinking it may have been one of your videos possibly? If it was do you have a link to it? The whips looked so good and I wanted to show a friend the video but I can't find it anywhere on UA-cam. It had Techno music and alot of flashing in the edit.
I think I know the videos you are talking about, unfortunately it wasn’t mine. But what’s funny is l lthink I may have seen that video recently on a FB group. If you aren’t a member of backyard RC tracks on fb you should check it out. There is way more interaction with other track builders and now up to like 70k members. Anyway, in response to your other comment, I too grew up in the woods with shovels building bmx jumps (legit sections) but my main sport was motocross. I actually went Pro for a little in my late teens and early 20s and then… yup I met my wife and settled down. Also was getting crazy on street bikes too which I had to give up before I ended up dead. But after selling everything and starting my family, my first daughter and I made it a thing to travel around to find the sweetest parks for her to play at. That was fun but I always had the itch that only ppl like us understand. I was missing that 2 stroke smell ripping on something… anything. So I went and bought a HPI savage nitro truck which also has gears in it where you can tune the shift points and I was immediately hooked. A year later I had approximately 30 RCs… but then my next challenge was where to run them because as you mentioned zero tracks around and quickly got bored of construction sites. Fast forward a couple years and here I am. But I can relate to all you said that’s why I took the time to share. I eventually did double down and by a tractor to help with maintenance and layout changes but there is nothing like a 4hrs rake session that at end of it you turn around and have a master piece of dirt art to appreciate it’s a workout and therapeutic as well. I’m out there till midnight a lot cause I sometimes can’t get out there till I get the kids and wife to bed. Good shit man feel free to come check out the track some time. Hit me up!
I got the last gen 8 scale Tekno… I already have quite a few SC trucks and prefer the Team Redcat SC 10e so do you know if it’ll be an easy switch over to turn the short course to an eight scale buggy?
Thank you! Come spring my plan is to bring in another 80-100 ton of clay to resurface the track while redesigning the layout. I do plan on putting something like that in this year’s layout!
One sick track!!! Those jumps are not for the faint of heart! I love it!
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Dude that track kicks absolute ass and the fact it's in your back yard is a huge flex. That should be a ROAR or a worlds layout forsure
Nice work mate
The track and environment is so beautiful. This would be a dream for me. Stuck in an apartment.
The time and energy to not only build this but to maintain it is impressive. Im currently building my first track and with luck in two years it will be on par. So much inspiration here.
Everyday my friend everyday! Thank you btw.
Can I be your neighbour? What a track this is, amazing! This is one of the things missing from the UK, decent outdoor RC tracks

Thank you much appreciated!

Absolutely amazing track! Very well done!
Thank you thank you!
So sick bro! Hope one day my track will be like yours.
Thank you!
I would never leave the house lol so sick
I don’t much lol. Not voluntarily anyway. Thank you!!
@@backyardrcracing if i lived next door id bug all the time 👍

Amazing work, layout is so cool. If you put a small 90 degree table top like in this video it would break reality. /watch?v=hHyjHbFxN2I
