Something I did during the winter for 1/18 scale was inspired by indoor rock climbing people" gyms using wood. They have walls with msc hand/foot holds with color coded runs = difficulty. That in mind, I angled a 1/2 sheet plywood and dble side taped msc wood squares/ triangles/ random pieces. Place them, test run, move around creating "runs". Using stickers you can stick them on obstacles making your "run" and have a rule like your front left tire must touch "green" or touch red.. Adhesive sandpaper is a must. Through trial error you can create various difficulities, add steeper section all on that flat sheet. When bored with it, you can simply move around the obstacles and / or increase steepness of the entire sheet all is on. Cheap/ indoors, easily changable and your backyard doesn't look like a construction site.

Great job on the obstacles. You have giving me some ideas. Especially the bridge.

[@off-roadrcaddict4572]

Great imagination and craftsmanship gone into that. Well done 😎👍

I got a course you may wanna check out, just put 3850 pounds of field stone on it and there is plenty more I'll be doing in the future! Love the backyard courses.

Wow that is awesome dude !! This is the beauty of the hobby !! Appreciate you sharing, I didn't know where to start, but wow this gives me great ideas, thank you. I'll be watching more of your channel , I love this hobby, it is my passion too !! A happy new year to you !! I'll watch for more

[@alamanako]

Awesome job! I want to start making a micro crawler course. Thanks for the ideas.

[@pellesomethingsomething]

This is neat! Thanks for sharing your portable playground :)

[@Cad1900]

Great work I enjoyed the video. I’m building a 1/24 indoor crawler course. It’s modular in 2x4 feet sections. I’m designing it so they can be interchangeable with each other to create several completely different course layouts. I’m going to store them on the ceiling of my basement.

[@redwolfrc1.14]

Nice work bro thank you for your idea's and info. I'm currently head banging a crawler course in my head lol. To build in my back yard as well. Haven't started yet but planning heavily on it with pics and ideas.

[@karnut74]

That is very cool, nice work nice creativity!

[@krashkingrc9715]

Great stuff. Thuraly enjoyed it. Going to make a version of your building as ideas.

[@mtbmonkey]

Lots of cool things going on here. Great job.

[@MrLotech73]

Thank you, hoping to start putting up more content soon.

[@BCUltimateRC]

Awesome! That's what I love about this hobby. Creativity, friends getting together and fun. Great job my friend. I'll be sending some subs your way.

[@MrLotech73]

B&C Ultimate RC thank you sir! Everything I’ve posted was filmed with my iPhone 8s plus . I use iMovie to edit and add music. The music is part of iMovie. My intro was made using an app for iPhone called IntroMate.

[@DirtyJoeDirt32]

good job man, i like it. goood ideas here for my basement

[@ateuprc659]

Nice job on course!!! Great video!!!

[@MrLotech73]

Rick Hayes thanks! I know there’s room for improvement, but I’m happy with how it turned out.

[@vaamorais]

Hey there, greeting from the UK and great job! I wish my friends were so skilled as you. The bridge is very nice. My only suggestion would be to add some difficulty factor to that bridge. On a next obstacle you could explore the maximum lateral angle of the vehicles - I always find it very challenging. Keep up the good work.

[@knotaproblem625]

This is awesome. One idea you could do is make concentrically smaller boxes that fin inside one another. That way you could transport more while using a smaller space. But it is awesome man.

[@wordreet]

Like the idea!!!!!!! 👍

[@tiborvon]

That's brilliant dude

[@MrLotech73]

Tibor Von thanks man, doing a little redesign since I moved. I’ll post some content soon.

[@tiborvon]

I bought a little 1/24th mini crawler for a bit of garden fun. My garden is a bit small for tenth scale. I have started making some little wooden obstacles to make a course with. I have made 4 items so far and they are portable. Just a bit of lockdown fun

[@Funcentric]

Nice work! Thanks for sharing! Cool that you actually demonstrated it at a mall! How many people approached you wondering what you were doing?

[@MrLotech73]

We had a normal crowd of 20-30 that came out every weekend but dozens of random folks just stopped by to watch and ask questions.

[@Funcentric]

@@MrLotech73 That's very cool. Thanks for sharing the video and for doing this. Good thing for the community that you're doing for both rc enthusiasts and curious minds.

[@SharkingRTMopar]

Very nice achievement. I want to know the real name of the hooks so that I can find some around here. Thank you.

[@gzaonas]

awesome

[@SuperBakersk8er]

Lots of stuff could go on that flat area that the bridge attachs too like dirt, rocks evt looks pretty good!

[@MrLotech73]

Jaylem Jarvis already on it! I did something with spray foam, chicken wire, concrete, and artificial plants! Video coming👍🏻

[@SuperBakersk8er]

LOTECH RC sweeet!

[@mtrccrawler6300]

Siiick

[@TomDaTech]

Great portable Course I think i will make one for my local guys. Gave me a lot great Ideas. Can i have some of the measurements on your on your stuff ?

[@MrLotech73]

TomDaTech absolutely, let me get some tomorrow. Anything in particular?

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

Real cool....but I would make some add ons to it that added more difficulty. These look way too easy. I know you need easy stuff too, but have a choice of some tricky lines to go with it.

[@hermanhufnagel4242]

You think the way I do cool. I use natural material wood.
