for years i've been collecting rocks for a rock garden for no other purpose than to save water and be different from the neighbors . now i have a better use for it and i'm enjoying every minute of it . most of the coral is from construction sites that i got for free . so far i have 3 decent sections that can be run either way enough talk , time for pics run #1 the paver is a nice start finish line LOL run #2 run #3 of coarse , i have my favorite pic all flexed out going off of the slight side hill in section 2 and the bridge in section 3 if anyone wants to come play , i'm in Fla where there are "no" rocks LOL |

That's funny. The pics of the rocks without the truck make the rocks look small. I was thinking it was a mini course. Then the truck pics added the scale and it was a big surprise how big they actually are. Nicely done. |

Looks like a good start. Never have enough to crawl. I've been working on my for the last 2 years off and on. One thing I've added to mine is old trees and tree stumps. A dozen logs 4' or better stacked around can make a good obstacle. Kinda adds different terrain as well. Slick old logs can be a good challenge when they get wet or mossy.

looks are deceiving , but the coral is super porous , so traction isnt even a problem on them . thanks for the idea of using a few logs in there Raptorman . i'll save that for the next run i do , which will be done soon i hope. as far as the BBQ Mike , only if you bring everything LMAO !!!! if anyone just happens to be in my area , your more than welcome to bring the crawler by and have a little fun . i might even turn on the sprinklers to cool you off LOL. thanks for all the great comments , if you see a way to improve it , let me know. |
