they were ok with me until i questioned the Komodo shafts they guaranteed would "fit w/o poppin off". I'm by no means adverstising for them, but they were the only store i have been in that had more "on hand" scale/crawler parts by far. anywho.... gonna keep an eye on this for more to come an may steal an idea or 2. really look good and hope you can keep the weeds down come spring.post some pics up of the rig on the bridge once you get it taught to your liking, curious to see slack before and then w/ your rig on it.

took a little trail ride after the rain subsided.

rocks were pretty slippery from rain and dirt build up, time to winch out of the ravine

all_scaled_out · 02-10-2011, 12:09 PM

cmyers1 · 02-10-2011, 12:16 PM

Honestly thats really not bad for what you've done. I like the lay out too

all_scaled_out · 02-10-2011, 12:24 PM

yea, i tried to use as much free stuff as possible, the mortar/concrete, lights and, pond stuff is where most of the money went.

cmyers1 · 02-10-2011, 12:27 PM

I go to lowes or home depot and if I need some concrete Ill as for a "cull" bag of it and usually they will give you a tore bag for like $1 to 50 cents

all_scaled_out · 02-10-2011, 12:39 PM

thats a pretty good idea. ill have to try that when i get more mortar.

cmyers1 · 02-10-2011, 12:42 PM

It works for me everytime!!! Learned that trick when I worked at lowes when I was in college!!!

all_scaled_out · 02-10-2011, 01:12 PM

yea been working hard on it. bought a new camera so that took away from my build budget plus its been raining alot so that slowed things down a lil. ive been thinking about setting up a gtg this month. ill post something up this weekend for next weekend.

all_scaled_out · 02-11-2011, 01:03 PM

i got my new camera today and took a few pics. i really like the panoramic setting. still working on picture size. ill get some better ones this weekend. its a shame i can only get a 1/3 of the course in one single picture
