French private Off-Road rc track for spare-time activities
Hello everybody,
Like I said in my "welcome post", here is the post where I'll share with you all my build adventures about this RC track.
It began on 2008 by an idea of my wife about to have a walking pathway under trees at the side of the house.
The original project was not necessary an rc track and look like this:
Some diggings and trees oblige us to think about a new way of route around the trees and the project look like this:
This drawing is not exactly a shot of the reality (just a thinking)
On 2009, it look like this :
At this moment, the guidelines are based:
On May 2010, i continue to cut off some trees en thinking about to make some different levels of this track:
On 2011, the same type of work waiting for me before the big digging time:
On May 2011, this big digging time is coming :
At the end of May, the first meters of stone walls were made:
On the and of august, the second digging phase was engaged:
On September:
A before/after:
February 2012:
On March 2012:
On April 2012, I asked about 2 or 3 dump truck of to the head of the road maintenance.
2 days after this what i find at home :
AROUND 10 OR 11 DUMP TRUCK !!!!!! (not 2 or 3...)
And after long thinking my wife and I had an idea to us the leveling courses of grass;
Some FRANKENSTEIN'S lawn
2 month after, it grows:
Winter 2012-2013:
Nothing on 2013:
Restart on April 2014 :
And the third digging phase began:
Some results after long time of work between July and august 2014:
First vidéo with a cellphone on a truggy:
February to April 2015, new tree cutting session:
May to July 2015, it's time to enhancing the levels:
AND : "WINTER IS COMING" :
Restart on February 2016, I need a podium to be safe for driving and I have a secret plan:
For this secret plan, I need to raise some stone walls:
Now, the secret plan of the podium is at is middle stage
...
...
To be continued

Re: French private Off-Road rc track for spare-time activiti
Now that you've finished that simple weekend project, how about adding a pyramid?
I'll get you started with a plan. Note the following features:
1) Small pyramids provide the dog a cool place to hangout
2) Secret passageways to store your valuable RC vehicles
3) Boat Pits - Who doesn't need a good boat pit:)
Very impressive work Trass!!!

Hello everybody,
For testing a Futaba MC116 I asked my son has to make short videos ... the very short vidéos;)
Mounting the MC116 has tears on my old Top Force with an old school Lipo orion 3200 - 20c and 27 stock engine ...
... AND ESPECIALLY THE BIG HAIRY DOG which runs BEHIND !!!!!
