AC:RC My backyard micro crawler course (portable)

- I built this 1/24 scale crawler course for my backyard. Made it in several sections which can be taken apart and moved around or even transported and put back together. All pieces are made out spray foam, styrofoam, cardboard boxes and plaster cloth in some areas. The 4 big parts have 1"x12"6' wooden platforms. All pieces are light which I can easily move around by lifting them myself without any problems.
Wow👍, this is one of the best indoors ive seen. Nice job brother🤘🏻
Thank you so much. I have added 4 more sections to it since that video. I’ll be making an updated video of it soon. Hopefully this week.
Awesome video my friend 👍and a very good track, full of challenges 👍👍✌️
Thank you
I have looked at many, many, videos of builds. Yours is by far the best modular track. I am inspired to build one myself! Well done!
Wow, thanks, I really appreciate the comment and support. 👍👍👍
Agree! I've been building a large indoor course for a customer and watched many videos of other builds and this one is so far the best I've seen.
@@hillarie_hillviewpaint thank you so, so much I appreciate it. The course is bigger now I have added some sections. I have a short video of it. But I’ll make another like this one with the full course. What I like about the course is that the way I made it I can interchange the sections to have different configurations or I make just put together less parts and make a shorter course.
this is awesome best course i have ever seen
Thank you I appreciate it. It looks better now I have added and made new sections
That's a heap of varied terrain! A good way to test out out your builds!
Thank you so much my friend I really appreciate it.
This is the best diy crawler track I’ve seen. Well done, I’ve been thinking about using expanded foam too but the cost put me off you have now got me thinking about it again. 😊
Thank you so much my friend, if you use cardboard boxes, or any styrofoam underneath that way you don’t use as much. Just have to form the cardboard a little in the shape or form of whatever obstacle you want to make . Any questions feel free to ask.
@@acrccrawlers9548I'm assuming you used construction adhesive to keep most of the rocks in place, right? Planning on building one, I just have to design a layout so I have something to aim for
@BradenGemmill for the real Little Rock’s that I put on it I used gorilla glue that foaming one is a little messing but is very strong perfect for this type of project. Pretty much can glue anything with it.
@@acrccrawlers9548 Okay cool, I'll try that. Your course is awesome! Definitely gained a new subscriber! I am currently building a small outdoor crawler course with only what I can find, so we'll see how that one turns out
@@CrawlerMedia thanks for subscribing, I just subbed to you. I’m sure it will turn out great the beauty of this is that the more imperfect it is the better. lol
I just used cardboard boxes and styrofoam also. I just finished building one for the veterans. There and RC channel Operarion 11 Charlie they introduce vets to the hobby in order to help them cope with PTSD and depression so I just built one for them I will be posting a video soon of it.
Beautiful work!! I’m so proud of you! Now enjoy it!!❤️🙏
Thank you so much .
Cool! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to subscribe and see if you have any course build videos.

Thank you so much my friend. I have a recent one that shows some of the process. Takes too long to make the “how to” videos
Outstanding!
Thank you
Nice course man! Gave me some good ideas, like the powder grass and rock sections, looks really scale.
Thank you I really appreciate it and I’m glad it helped you. 👍👍👍

keep up. love your video.
Thank you so much I appreciate it.
Amazing!! 🤩
Thank you so much, subbed to you. 😃😃😃
that is an awesome course! much better than my indoor foam mountain!
Thank you I appreciate it I have added a couple of sections to it, I just haven’t made a video of it I’m currently out state so when I return home I’ll be making a video with my SCX24 bronco.
@@acrccrawlers9548 its pretty nice already! looking forward to updates
Awesome setup bro, it looks really good 👍 great work.
Thank you so much brother, I think it turned out pretty good
@AC RC Crawlers Yes I agree.
Nice course❤
Thank you.
Very nice but you need to make it harder if a stock rig can complete it 😉
Thanks, you are right. since that video I have made some modifications and added other sections to it. Thank you for watching
I wish you were my neighbor ! Lol
Thanks, yeah maybe then I’ll use this thing more. Lol I built it and hardly use it.
Just wow. I couldn't do that if I spent the rest of my life on it. I'm 53, but still.
You could brother I’m 56, wasn’t easy but not that hard. Thanks for watching
@@acrccrawlers9548 Please do a how-to video when you make your next section!
Wow👍, this is one of the best courses ive seen. Nice job, wtf built in winch🙀
Thanks brother
Keren 👍
Thank you
Is that the scx24? Sick track!
Thanks for watching, yes is an SCX24 Chevy C10
Very nice course. I'm in the works of building one myself and have been searching the internet for inspiration. Plenty in this video. At 4 minutes and 50 seconds how did you get that rounded rock texture? And then just up the hill from that those shale looking rock texture? I would like those two textures in my course and really curious what you use to make them? Thank you for your time once again nice layout.
Thanks a lot my friend I really appreciate it. On that area those rocks are just styrofoam the thick ones that come with some appliances or electronics I just cut them in small pieces in the shape of rocks glued them and covered them with plaster cloth. Above that is also styrofoam but in that area I used some insulation foam I got from lowes. It comes in sheets of like 4 feet by 16 inches and 1/2” thick and I believe is a pack of ten for like 10 or $11. The rest of the course is primarily made out of boxes covered with spray foam. In some small sections I used real rocks. Please let me know if you have any other questions I will be more than happy to answer and help you. 👍👍
@@acrccrawlers9548 thank you for the information. I can't tell you how many videos I've watched trying to find a way to make it look like a real Rock texture and you nailed it with that section. I will try your method. I'm assuming you used a Styrofoam cutter hot knife. I think they have those at the Hobby Craft stores. I'm going to go get one and give it a shot hopefully I can do as good of a job as you did.
@@cmkpikes is not that hard I have never done it before but it came out really good. Just have to work the plaster cloth one at a time when you cover them. Just cut the styrofoam in shape of a rock as much as you can, try not to cut them the same shape or size to make them more realistic. Anyways any questions just send me a message.
How long did this take to build? Was thinking of building one for me and my boys, but i'm also scared they will destroy it the first day.
It took me a couple of weeks, is very sturdy I don’t think they will destroy unless they try to walk on it. 👍👍👍
@@acrccrawlers9548 Thanks, this thing is bad ass, I'd be the first in line if these things were for sale lol!
I have the same car
It is a really nice truck. 👍👍
@@acrccrawlers9548 yeah it is
