Default Looking to build a Crawler course for a car show.. need ideas....

We are building a scaler crawling course for my work for a car show we are having that is having a local group come in and do demos.... Another co worker and I brainstormed today a while and have a decent plan.... anyone have suggestion on things to include or not include? we are building it to be modular, on (2) 40" x 16' pallets (easy to move with forklifts) and will do something like a tunnel or ropebridge or both in between.. We are thinking of building the shape with stapled in burlap and covering it in a concrete "Slurry" mix the paint and add real dirt etc.... suggestions? ideas??

you could have a running river that would be cool. Other wise to and take a look at "The Scale Trail" for some cool ideas.

Lots of past threads on indoor crawling here's a start.

You mean the one with a bunch of kids, who mostly likely never played with a rc before.

Didn't you mama ever tell you if you don't have something nice to say...

Shit driving from kids? Well you're a dick.

I'm pretty sure that was a demo where they were letting anyone drive the cars. Definitely not experienced Rc drivers.

Pretty cool setup for a small course. Would like to see more on the construction of it.

I'd suggest using a "Papercrete" mix over the burlap or screen , to make it light enough to move on a 16' pallet. its essentially concrete with paper pulp mixed into it to lighten it up and make the concrete mix go farther.

Is it indoors? If not, would just having a load of rocks hauled in, dumped, and arranged be an option? Unless you foresee it as something you want to be able to take apart and move to different shows. Of course I have access to some equipment, so in my mind I like the idea of being able to rearrange the rocks whenever I want.

Yea, it looks like a bunch of newbies driving but they have to start somewhere. Well all started somewhere to.
