well, the lightest and easyest would be to buy plastic ones such as... These. Those are what I have, the good thing is that if you buy more, you can build them higher and higher. Or you could get a kicker like this, you can't get it higher, but it gives you a lot more pop.

Go to your local toys R US, or what ever place you have and im sure theyll have cheep plastic skateboard ramps. the ones that are posted above are a little stronger then the cheepo ones they sell in the stores. But that only matters if your actually gonna use it for skateboarding, or BMX. if your using it for R/C it wont make any difference at all. Heres a great ramp thats cheep.

I've had one of those for about 3 years now, and its still doing great. Ive also got one of [link=http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2341073&cp=2255956.2273442.225 5961.2256574.2256619&parentPage=family]These[/link]. the only thing i did was get about 5 of those center sections, so i can adjust how long, or short i want the table top to be, becuase with only one center section my 1/8th buggy clears it going slow. You could alswo just buy to ramps ,a nd stick a long board in between them.

Default RE: ramps

cardboard,dirt, wood, you can make a ramp out of anything...there is endless options...i prefer the free ones though...if you have wood thats free and some nails there you go...if not...take anything that you see and make it happen you can take some logs and pack dirt around them , or use dirt, or some good thick carboard and some bricks or a curb or logs just whatever is avalible to you im sure you can think of something......
