Default Scale Articulation Ramp

Made this out of sudden. It took me 2 hours.. I took the pic with my H2 at the back just to give you the idea of the size comparison. Its almost a right-angle triangle, 6" x 8" x 10", with 3".

I am still deciding, should it be painted flat black, or grayish silver, or white.. or..

Have a look!

how hard would it be to actually use this for a rc car and get a score?

i forget exactly how to do it, but it is wheelbase divided or times something by how far you went up the ramp.

i scored a 800+ with my 1:1 4dr jk

I had a conversation with a buddy about this the other day. Would you build it at 20* like a real one or to 1/10th scal at 2*. We agreed that you would build it so it looked right whatever the angle. But whats everyone elses opinion?

20* is 20* no matter what the scale is.

Me and my dad do perfect 1000 most every time.
depends on how well the breaks are working lol
that one looks a little steep maybe a 40 degree, but i was thinking 20-25 would be about right
