Just Jeeps Toronto Staff Rock Crawling Course

[rbjeepthing]

So me and a few of the staff members here have gotten into r/c rock crawling do to the lack of trail systems for 1/1 scale trucks in the winter time. Our owner had originally allowed us to build a small non movable course in the back of the shop. This quickly became an issue due to the fact of not being able to move it.

One of our mechanics Mike and I decided to fab this up so that we could pick it up with a forklift or pump truck and be able to move it.

So lets here the comments!!!

Item Used:
8x4 skid x 2
2x4 x 2
4x8 Sheet Of Plywood

2. Cut plywood into obstacle shapes and fasten to the top skid.
3. Wrap obstacles with chicken wire and staple to hold.
