| New compact backyard crawler course
Built this small course today for some quick crawling/beers and testing/tuning. 1200lb of sharper edged type rock were $.05/lb ($60). Yes there are free rocks in the woods nearby but they are all round and smooth and I didnt want that. Painted a Lowes bucket camo brown to serve as a base There are 3 ways in and many different lines as it is configured now. easy to hard(er) Gonna add another bucket on the upper left and some more big rocks I think |

i would sugest adding other materials to the mix plastic and or glass and or wood and differnt rock the different terrain is alot of fun on a small course old coolers are my favorite then buckets almost no tire gets grips on those and is a good excuse for some wheel speed |

I'd think based on the looks of his landscaping he probably has a significant other that wouldn't take kindly to the junkyard approach to a crawlin' course! His still looks like a garden. Make the wife happy, that way she doesn't brain ya when you order another crawler! |

| Re: New compact backyard crawler course lol i am looking forward to finding some crawl spots down there when i visit back to the op having differnt terrain types really steps up the fun factor on small courses theres no reason the junk cant be hidden under other stuff just enuff showing for the rig to run on otherwise it gets boring real fast but theres always micros in small spaces like that the micros rule the day |

Its a small course but I had a blast at least for today! Put another 4 big rocks (500lb) on the left this afternoon and it added a lot of complexity Last edited by psn; 07-16-2022 at 05:18 PM. |

My wife's go-to is "what am I going to do with all of this stuff when you're dead?" Which I think is an indication that she knows something I don't. But then again, my last load of materials dropped off was 3 tons of quikrete and mortar mix. Before that it was 26 tons of concrete rubble. Oh, and 4.5 tons of decomposed granite. "Compact" is not a word that gets used 'round here. |
