Default Mini crawler course

well iam new to rc crawling, been flying helicopters and as winter is closing in i saw this losi i had to have it.Anyway i thought it would be cool to see what everybodies coming up with for a indoor crawler course. I just threw this together today, Got my mrc today tooI figure i got about $35 dollars into it. (touch n foam + spray paint) the rest is just card board with a small fiberform frame. Post pics when i figure out how. Click the image to open in full size.[/IMG]

I like the looks of it too. How is the traction? I have been playing around with various methods of course making as well

The pics really dont show how deep the course is, its pretty tuff to get threw, i crawled on it last night for 2 hours and only the pieces of foam that were in weak overhang positions came off. quarter size chuncks. I think its broke in now as nothings came off sense. Also this course is so light it makes it easy to move and as i advance i just prop one side up on something and raise as needed.

I would say the traction is like crawling on rocks, if your approach is right yell have it and if not your spinning, I get high centered quit a bit on this course as i used a bunch of diff size boxes. I suppose you could cheat a get some abrasive spray of some type, but to me this feels pretty competitive. cheers
