my dad has given me part of the back field to build a course.this will be a slow build as there is snow still on the ground, but the weather is starting to warm up so im trying to plow the snow out of the area so the snow will melt a little faster, than i can start building. once the course is built i will put up a fence to keep the animals out.

so right now the plan is to have a suspension bridge through the trees and over the fence, maybe a whoop section, mud section, maybe a fancy bridge those type of things. there will also be a rock pile too for a friend's ax10.

here's some pics showing the area i have to work with, i counted out a space thats 60-70ft long and 25ft wide.

in the last picture i kinda marked out the area with footprints.and its on both sides of the fence.

thats a pretty good sze area you have there for alot of different obstacles.

AX10wannabe · 02-19-2011, 03:14 PM

ya there's a fair amount of space.

sdmf7 · 02-19-2011, 05:42 PM

The tree's will be nice for some creative obsticles. You could make some sections where you crawl up the tree's to a certain point. Cool spot!

crazy!

AX10wannabe · 02-20-2011, 09:10 AM

i got some of my main bridge layed out, im going to run towards the fence just above the shovel to where a little nub is on the tree, wrap around the tree a bit over a few feet then down to just above the ground where another nub is on a tree then up over the fence then down. the spots that will be attached to the tree will be "solid" against the tree so i'll build a little platform for that.

its -15*C here right now so too cold to do anything... gotta go into town this morning and we are dropping off our racing mowers at the mall for a display.

sounds good when the snow melt we can get rock from the pit and start to build going to need alot of rock to do cause the area is pretty big but it will be epic

crawlhog · 02-20-2011, 12:30 PM

youre one lucky kid, nice area to play

AX10wannabe · 02-20-2011, 02:17 PM

yup. i can use the tractor and a trailer to get some rock, it wont all be just rocks though, there will be some trails, wood bridges and stuff.. ya its a fair decent size.... haha well i kinda just measured it out myself... hehe.. could probably get another 10-20 feet too if i wanted to but we'll see. i'll get it layed out and started first.

got plenty of time now that the mowers are at the mall for a week.. might end up going to alberta on wednesday with dad to see my new neice.

AX10wannabe · 02-27-2011, 01:10 PM

sorry there's been no updates... umm.. its snowing lately and i jsut got back from a visit to alberta.supposed to warm up in march so hoping to get lots done.

AX10wannabe · 03-04-2011, 05:50 PM

well mother nature has decided its going to snow a little more so not much happening with my course until most of the snow is gone. this gives me some time to re-vamp my honcho with a tube chassis, honcho axles, aluminum body, stock electronics, shocks etc.

AX10wannabe · 04-03-2011, 04:48 PM

alrightly well i was away for a couple of weeks and when i left there was a foot of snow got home today and there's no snow so now i can finally start on my crawler course.

going to rake the leaves and start gathering rocks tomorrow and i will get some new pictures of the ground im working with.

all_scaled_out · 04-03-2011, 05:12 PM

cant wait to see what you come up with

AX10wannabe · 04-04-2011, 07:35 PM

i sat around the house all day playing grand threft auto and i was going to go out tonight and rake some leaves but its raining. i might still do it.

MikeyBike · 04-04-2011, 10:01 PM

This is gonna be awesome, I'll keep an eye on you for sure. Lots of space there to work with. I have family down that way so if I make a trip down I will have to bring the trucks by to play.

k20man · 04-04-2011, 11:03 PM

wow thats a lot you cool build a full 1/10 scale off road park !!!

AX10wannabe · 04-04-2011, 11:19 PM

well even though it was raining a little bit i went out raked some leaves and moved some rocks that were lying around.. i found quite a few softball sized rocks around in the area also so i will use them as filler.

might take a trip to the gravel pit (300 yrds up the road) with the tractor and a little trailer and grab some rocks and gravel. also going to work on it tomorrow too and rake the other side so i will get some pictures then.

9700trevor · 04-05-2011, 01:24 AM
