Title: Mini giant track in my backyard Post by: Ryan on July 13, 2008, 04:54:43 PM In my backyard we used to have a little playground and sandbox, but not anymore 8). We tore it all up and was left with a lot of dirt and some sand. So I wanted to turn it into a monster truck track, my dad actually thought of the layout that I'm going to use. It's 30 feet long by 16 feet wide. I plan on getting more dirt for jumps, bumps, and burms. for now we just have a big patch of dirt in the backyard, with some sand. I will post pictures in my gallery as soon as possible and report back on how progress is going when something big happens :)
comments and suggestions are welcome. Title: Re: Mini giant track in my backyard Post by: Nic-z on July 14, 2008, 10:07:51 AM but a remote controlled weed burnner in the middle of a jump for added effect jk.

Salt Lake Mini-Z Club Forum - Monster truck track (http://www.saltlakemini-z.com/forum/index.php?action=gallery;su=user;cat=118;u=5) I don't know why the pictures are dark. The sand is on the half of the track that is right by the brown shed.(the sand should look brighter than the dirt) We havent gotten dirt for jumps yet, but we will. Title: Re: Mini giant track in my backyard Post by: briankstan on July 16, 2008, 03:08:15 PM tthat should be a good size for the scale of the truck. it'll be great when you get the jumps setup. if you go all out and have landing ramps and all it should make for some fun races. Maybe we'll have to have monster truck race night at your house :D

Title: Re: Mini giant track in my backyard Post by: Ryan on October 27, 2008, 08:33:14 PM The track has been built :flex: I will post pics and hopefully a video. :D
EDIT I'm sorry it has taken sooooo long to get pics up (which still arent up :frusty:) The track was covered in leaves from the windstorm that was quite a long time ago. Plus I actually added a little rhythm section whem I took off the leaves. Hopefully (::)) there will be pics tomarrow.
