I've got a pile of wood that was my old shed and a pile of broken up concrete which used to be an able access ramp, both are undrivable currently.

I've got some space that's not used for anything much, it's an odd size, 15ft by 7 foot one end and 5 the other.

All I need is some motivation and I'll have something I can learn to crawl on

Radio signals will go through glass. I stand in my house and drive around out side while watching out the doorwall.

I made to show my friends at SMRCRC how I made our indoor course. Maybe it will help you out a little.

Looks good. My neighbor and I moved all of the rocks down by the kids park into some really piles. I will try to get some pics up here. I am now building an area next to the house.

wow^ that's awesome, looks very challenging!

This is mine, it's in my neighbours front yard. Nothing special, but it's a good place to test set ups.
