Thanks for the write up...that is pretty cool. I'll have to give it a try once the snow starts to fly.

Are you using the dental plaster just for strength or does it give you traction?

I thought about producing them for sale. But I don't know if the market could bear what the cost would have to be. Probably $50 each maybe some quantity discount. and shipping would be a lot they are pretty big and a little heavy. Hydrocal will chip to easy, the dental plaster is way stronger. It is slicker but works great especially for these river rock style. I will try some sand in the plaster for the granite style. Last edited by tooslickforyou; 10-28-2007 at 11:11 PM. |

tooslickforyou, sorry if I missed it in the posts, but how long was construction time for the setup like you posted? That has to be one of the best ideas I've seen! It's a good fix for the PNW rain that inevitably comes and drowns everything periodically this time of year  |

I wish I had that kind of time on my hands to build fake rocks.

Gr33nlite why arn't you on WARCRC.org. I'm in Seattle too. Once I got a system down I'll work a few at time. Some of the steps you need to let dry overnight to go on but it's probably about 1.5 hr each. |

I'd guess they weigh 5-10 lbs each and I live in Seattle. You could approximate the size. Though some of my first ones are quite a bit bigger. If your into it I'll give you a more detailed description of this set? Also I could finish and include some extras for just a bit more.?. They work great and are tough as nails. I've raked them with auminum axles and bounced my tuber on them With superficial scraping at best. I'll touch up the paint if you want them. They are so hard if you knock on them with a fist it will just hurt your knuckles. If you should damage one they are easy to repair or alter if you should choose.

Instead of plaster, would fiberglass work? I have an outdoor area I want to use, and I live on the wet side of WA also |

I don't see why not. Not having worked with it I cant say how it will act. The dental plaster has a very real "rock" feel it is actually for Extreme applications and is noticably stronger than regular plaster. But go with what you know. The plaster is water proof and you can pool water on the holes. But go with what you know and do some testing. |

I was hoping that you would build them locally. I 'd be glad to drive north to buy a few. Maybe circulate them through NW Nitro Hobbies, or the place in Kent. |

Sure, that sounds good. I don't know if there would be a big market for them or not $$. Thats why I haven't really tried to sell them. I was tossing the idea around. The R/C hobby guys didn't sound real excited about selling mine in the shop. They liked them and had thought about trying to make a few for themselves. | |

That's too bad about the shop, I would think they would at least catalog them. Let me know if you do start building them, I'm on the WARCRC site too. |
