DIY scale rock crawler track made of foams for Orlandoo 4x4
 

Hey guy, just wanna share my latest crawler track for micro crawlers made from thrown away foam box. Project started last month dedicated for 1:35 scale and smaller. Currently running an Orlandoo and modified Yokomo nanoqlo on this track. I made the track almost like collapse wall of rubble style terrains with lots of steep climbing angle, turns, switcbacks, drops and other serious axle twisting obstacles to make it more challenging, fun and almost timeless to run around the track. It has caverns, arches, decked climbing steps, narrow path, pot holes and every serious tire gripping situation you can imagine of. It took me about 3 weeks to complete the project with few test drive and foam carving, painted in grey acrylic paint, crumbs of sponges for vegetation, safety nets and other upcoming track ornaments soon. Foamy box size about a meter long fit nicely on any coffee table and easily transport anywhere and very light weight easily hang on any walls. Below are some progress in sequential snapshots.

Looks great! And you can use grout to give it texture.

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

Thanks, i will add grout but need extra paints and time for such track size.

Very inspirational! Thanks for sharing

The "Rubble Wasteland" track
Check out video of my homemade track in action with my 1:35 scale Orlandoo Jeep roaming around the extreme axle twisting obstacles, extreme climbing and vertical drops. Enjoy the adventures!

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

That orlandoo looks nice. Sucks I cant seem to find their actual parts in stock besides the kit portion lol.

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

Thanks, if you want to find out more which parts lists matches the kit you can find out more at my webpage which i reviewed about the Orlandoo at my webpage here: https://www.supermotoxl.com/designs-...-micro-crawler

The parts list is located at mid section of the page, you need to scroll down a little. Hope that helps. "thumbsup"

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

This looks phenomenal! Almost enough to justify buying the truck itself. Something like this in my basement on a sheet of plywood would be killer

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

Damn that looks great! Nice work.

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

The truck worth buying and a track is a must to build for it. All i can say it felt more satisfying to crawl on this track, learned lots of crawling tricks than going outdoors because you're few feet from fridge for a nice cold beer. You can customized the track to your liking. I'm waiting for more Orlandoo's variant to arrived and populate the track. "thumbsup"


Thanks :D

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

Jeepy joined the dark side!
This time i'm roaming around the track in the dark. Track LED activated, so the jeep does. Another great night adventures over the rubbles! "thumbsup"

Re: Orlandoo + DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

Great video, awesome track, love the LED lighting. Definitely jealous! Ill have to make myself a track and look into getting an orlandoo or twoo.
Well done, Dude.

Re: Orlandoo + DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

Thanks, once you got one of these you're going to love it because it small enough allocate slot of time to enjoy crawling anywhere and detailed enough for scaling. Plus they looks superbly good on desktop. You should check out those CNC's allow axle. "thumbsup"

Btw here are some HD night snapshots during track crawling.

Orlandoo Jeep vs F150
Some fun rock crawling convoy activity with Orlandoo Jeep and F150 truck on my indoor 'rubble wasteland' track. F150 a bit struggle with this track due to longer wheelbase but we'd take it slowly and more time over the obstacles.

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

Looks awesome, I find another reason the F150 tends to struggle is the weaker servo they tell you to use.
If its modified to use the 2.2G vs the 1.7G servo it helps a fair bit.

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

Yeah it true 1.7g servo a bit weak which is why i use 2.2g on both truck although 2.2g servo build to fit metal axle due to wider fitting. Works great. "thumbsup"

Thanks, its the only project to keep me busy during this pandemic season. "thumbsup"

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

Super sweet track....

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

Nice, I too, have been ripping up some old memory foam to make more terrain like places to keep the kid and I entertained.

Hope you enjoy building it because it very fun project to do during covid lockdown.

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

Outstanding. Course looks awesome.

I built an Orlandoo Jeep. It got me hooked. Since I've built two X01s. One with a 3000rpm motor(which is WAY too much for it) as a rock bouncer and one with a 500rpm motor to be a crawler. Very much looking forward to crawling with that one once I get my ESC. They're amazing little machines. I'd suggest you build one. They're amazingly competent.

Next project for me is to build a crawler course similar to yours.

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

a few years before i started w crawling i made a war scene with my daughter. i would have made a great playground. we put foam block on a 4x6' x 1/2" birch ply. stapled on some burlap to make the terrain. then mixed blow in style insulation with a gallon of old leftover paint and covered it all with the mix...this time i would do it out of a hollow core door. they are light.. do a scene like a mountain side to lean up on a couch ect.

Re: DIY scale rock crawler track made from foams
 

Nice work on the course, very nice.
