| Rock crawler track
I saw a website showing how to make a artificial rock crawl course for 2.2 and below. Site:http://www.axialracing.com/ftp/rockcourse/ so I decided to make my own specs. hight 4ft length 8ft width (on track) 2 1/2ft materials foam, spray can foam, plywood, old closet racks, two small pond water pumps, and paint. layout the shape will be a "z" like track 1 up hill 1 down hill 2 streams 3 "cliffs" 1 bridge crossing 1 log obstacle and more stuff Red medium rocks Green special objects Brown small rocks Blue water yellow large rocks sorry for crappy pic of layout made it quick first day bridge is painted got material |

After reading the link, I KNOW a guy could do this way cheaper than that. Maybe use some plaster or floorstone or even a couple bags of ready-mixed concrete, and just slather a fairly thin layer over the foam. Plus it would look more real that way, anyway.

check this out A new place to crawl in Chicagoland! lots of pictures of the course we built at the local hobby shop. I think total price for the "built" section is only about $150
