|  New Obsticle to my home course
Been working on this new feature on my course. Had the flu so today felt well enough to work on it some more. I thought the Tekin section at the Midwest comp was killer and I wanted a wire rope bridge also. Seen that on a video from out west? It still has more to be done, starting with fake grass on the platform to begin with. Then as we get used to it some fake rocks to make it more challenging. In testing my Berg went up with a little more wheelspin but more control than my AX-10 with 21.5 Goat. It seemed the Ax took a little more to start but then was able to claw up it with minimal throttle. Put in some pictures of not making it also, no damage to the berg, and a busted lower rear link on the AX ended the day from a number of tumbles and testing different lines to see if they can be done  .The wife is learning more about photography, so she helped me out. It helps that she gets my old stuff  .          The wife said she will shoot a video later of the course to give you a feel, challenging but fun. walt |

47willysbuggy : Thanks, it is fun. Though I think it is almost more fun to see others drive the course. JeremyH : thank you Deluxe312 : "But an M11 AND a 4pk?!" I had the M11 from racing offroad. It worked great on the AX. But from reading Harley's thread the 4PK was the best for my needs on the berg. An understanding wife helps in the toys department though. She tries to tell young wives a man with his toys is happier |

Looks cool. Looks like you really have to watch your line on the wall. I am doing a homemade course right now as well and really enjoy these threads. Lots of great ideas. |

Looks good. I thought about making a ramp like that for my crate indoor course. Save a little money on crates by using some plywood to make the ramp out of |

Yeah I like all the ideas I can get, I made my indoor course in my barn with leftover wood from a new deck and whatever I could find for obstacles. Currently have refridgerator grating and old license plates along with old bathroom light fixture. It doesn't look like much but it is challenging and something to do when the weather sucks. Your ramp gives me another idea.
