PWalk's Rally Course
 

As promised here is my rally course...

Another Pic,

I will be posting more pics as time goes by,
also I'll include a materials list
and a "how to?" guide so that everyone here can build one.

This was my first ever attempt at one of these things and I have to say I'm impressed. It's not a fast course, but it is challenging.

If your building your own course and need some tips or have a question post them here and I'll try and help ya with yours.

Here it is way back in the beginning....

lol PWalk, you obviously only have two chassis, love the lancer body, only, on the track, lol:D

Actually have 5 chassis, but most of them are screwed up right now, here's another pic...

Fairlady on a WRX chasis... tackling turn #1

That track is too pimped... Do your cars ever get hung up on it? Like, on little bumps and whatnot?

Nice work man,I think you did a great job!!

now the question is does the car run on that thing? or is it just for show? an overland whould be sweet on it. do u have an overland?

The cars rarely get hung up, and if they do course rules mandates the following:

"If for whatever reason a driver has to touch their car while racing he is automatically given a 5 second penalty. 10 seconds for the second time, 15 for the third time. The time penalty shall never exceed 15 seconds."

We're serious about racing! LOL

No overland here, but if you feel like contributing or talking trade I'll listen.
Thx for the feedback, more photos to come...

I like those rules, the track looks like a real challenge. I hope one day to create a track like it.

Bump! I'm back after 4 months away from this site.

Working on another track so I'll be posting some new ideas soon.

Cool!

After I get my airbrush and soldering gun and move into my new house(August 1st). I'm gonna start one of these! What did you use for the base? Plywood on a table?

This is copied from my rally course ideas and suggestions thread:

Ok, first off the materials list:

1 Package of Styroboard (styrofoam used for insulation) bought at Home Depot: $5

All Purpose craft glue (Brand Name "Tacky Glue") on sale for $1

Utility Knife...$3 preferably with a 4" blade if you can find one.

Crayola Model Magic... about $3 a pack and I used 3 small packs basically. DON'T USE PLAY-DOH, it will crack upon drying and then it looks like crap!

2'-4' piece of 1/4" thick Hard Fiberboard used for the base, $3 @ Home Depot, you can find it a number of sizes. I used this size to save on space.

Assorted Tempera Paints, $1.50 a bottle. Tempera cleans up real nice, it's water based and CHEAP!

Plaster of Paris, got 8lbs. for $5... another good deal, but difficult to work with. If I had to again I would just buy more Clay.

As for the trees? go out to your back yard and grab some twigs, then go to your local Arts and Crafts store and buy this stuff called "DEER MOSS". You can find it where they make floral presentations. Only $2.50 a bag and you'll only need one!! I just wandered upon it, what luck. Also you can buy cheap sponges from a Dollar store and shred them up. and if you want grass just tear the green pad off the sponge and use it.

Cool try it with the new SE's.

Bumped so a buddy can find this.

Cool any new pics?

Not yet but I'm working on something new that i'll be debuting in the coming weeks.

So...where is it? :D

yeah!

Still being worked on.

Sorry haven't been around but since summer time is upon us what can I say? I like the outside.

With that said look for the course to be finished by late August.

It's looking like another rally course even though it started life as a road course. Dirts just more fun.

Nice track! The scenery is awesome! It must be pretty hard to drive on that track!!! Much skill needed, and most likely a Two-Speed otherwise you would probably go too fast :). I can only imagine some speed freak with a 4.2 driving on that... Good luck with your new track!

13 years later and this track is long gone. What a trip down memory lane as I pulled out my old cars this past weekend.
