|  My ZipZap Monster truck Ok I felt lonely not having an rc truck so I went out and bought one at radio shack for $10. I got it home and it wasn't bad but didn't have enough torque so I added another gear to gear it down. It also wouldn't flex really at all so I cut it in half and now it really flexs.  I was able to drive over pretty much what ever I could find but it got old quick. Well after thinking about it for awhile I figured I could make a smaller sized track for it that I could stuff under a couch or something. I found some plywood that I had laying around and found some foam board I had for a gecko tank and started a layout. Once I was happy with my setup I covered it in that plaster of paris paper stuff then rattle canned it with some neat paint I found at HD. All in all I'm happy with how it turned out and I only spent $9 on it all together that was just in the paint(but it was worth it)      |

| thanks, it only took a few hours to do and most of that time was spent waiting for it to dry enough to start something else |

| Looks good, I thought those tracks were so hard, until I met Joe, off scale4x4, lol He told me that it just takes time, and patience. He does it like this tho PolyStyrene Plaster Cloth Painting with a brush, Grass from HO scale scenery, TRAINS, other HO scale scenery off sites, local railroad places/ he got his all on trademe (New Zealand mate!) He is going to make me a _ _ _ _ 1/_7 for only 300 + mini lipos + charger How do you like your track? You did a very well job, but you should make some roads, rock piles, he makes his own mini rocks, you should do that, very awesoem still! |

| yeah I'm going to add to it as far as some scenery this is just a starting point. I like it alot so far, definatly worth the time and money. I'm going to do my 1/32 slot car track next and see how I can get it to look. |
