The goal isnt to sell them, we plan to use these pieces for years to come at the show and hopefully at a hobbyshop or 2.

It does look great. There are a ton of man hours into that buildup, and it shows.

So will these be used for a winter series?

ThunderVP · 09-21-2010, 08:39 AM

After iHobby, 2 of the pieces will be set up at the Hobbytown in Orland Park, IL. Yes, they will be used in the winter series.

ok, i was thinking a hobby shop would buy it

jetboat · 09-22-2010, 05:49 AM

I started topcoating the sides... Im not as good at getting crete to stick so I used a floor jack to prop up the side.

I was screwing around with a new truck and found out that the bridge can be difficult if you arent watching what your doing.

More than likely they would but letting them be used by hobby shops gives us a functional place to store them till next year

slowlearner · 09-27-2010, 08:32 PM

this is EXACTLY what I've beenn looking for....exactly what the missus doesn't want me to see...

the left-over dirt from the new house has been the base to build on, with pallets now forming hills/ramps. chicken wire here I come, time to get dirty with the sand-cement mix....
great build guys, very nice course....thanx for the inspiration....

TXJeeper1 · 09-28-2010, 08:59 AM

Awesome course I am thinking about using a few of your desgns in a course for the house. Looks really good!!

addictedtonitro · 10-09-2010, 11:44 AM

All the final touches and last minuite stuff going on this weekend. Sections are looking great and should be a great challange with lots of run lines.
iHobby is 1 1/2 weeks away!

barshots · 10-09-2010, 12:02 PM

Wow this course looks sick

Hyde802 · 10-09-2010, 07:07 PM

This is SICK!! Nice work guys!! This looks like blast to build.

kasper · 10-09-2010, 09:52 PM

All those supplys dont mean nothing without a major commitment.

Everyone saying nice course but really what needs to be said is nice work those who helped are the ones that need to be thanked there was a lot of hard work and sweat put into this course Thanks SCRC.

jetboat · 10-10-2010, 07:00 AM

well I found a slight disappointment with the course... I stopped by the Orland Park HT and measured the front doors... 5' 11" door 6' 3" course.

So if anyone nows a shop that would like it and has doors that are wide enough, and they are local... have them call me.
