While waiting for my Axial kit to arrive I figured I would start building my home course. I'm looking for input as I have never crawled before, so do you think this is challenging enough to start with or do you guys think I should go for more height yet.

Looking pretty good so far..Good start for sure..Just add more to it as you get some crawling and see how things work.

EvilTwin v2 · 10-31-2009, 01:05 PM

Just keep adding to it as you can.

One piece of advice. As you build, make sure that nothing is too permanent. You'll eventually run every imaginable line & become bored with it unless you can change it around.

Sweet looking course been working on the lower level rock lounge for sometime now show off the finished project when completed

unimogger · 11-01-2009, 05:47 AM

course looks great so far, just wait until you get your crawler out there to see how capable it is.

I'm going to get to work on my outside course this week. Just received a shipment of rocks from my boss. It sure does pay to be a landscaper when your into crawling!!

nice setup so far, wis we had rocks like that here in texas. we have a buch of iron ore rock which is pretty challenging but we need grounds clearance. keep at it man looks good

mr.freeze · 11-01-2009, 05:56 PM

Thanks guys, I added more today but didn't snap any more pics. I don't know why I didn't get into this sooner, I can't sink a shovel without hitting a rock. What used to piss me off has now become a blessing.

Looks like a good start, after you get your crawler up and running you will figure out what you need to change. I use alot of small river rock to throw down over mine to fill in some of the big voids in between all the big rocks, anywhere from golfball to baseball size.

Get ya some tennisballs to cut in half. Then set up diff. courses will make it more challenging as well as keeping it diff. Its alot harder with them little tennisballs out there!

Plus is also will make you a better driver,learning the limits of your rig.

nice setup, i'm envious

bl8zn · 11-02-2009, 11:20 AM

Sweet. I have to drive about 15 min. to get to some rocks :(

spyderwebbcustoms · 11-03-2009, 10:07 AM

mr.freeze · 12-01-2009, 03:34 PM

Well it's been a while sense I updated the pics so here we go. I've added quite a bit more.

samyota86 · 12-01-2009, 04:10 PM

DRCrawlGood · 12-01-2009, 04:43 PM

Im jealous, I really need to get on the ball with building my own course.

chicostaxxs007 · 12-01-2009, 04:47 PM

Got a little more done tonight on the course. I'm trying to make some scaler freindly lines that are still challenging.
