Anyone know of a good place to get ramp plans?

I was at one of the parks here and had alot of people inquiring about the hobby and what rc's could do but the extent of any showing off consisted of out running a chow and a husky. I would love to get some people together and head to the park again but having a ramp would make it so much better.

This was the only plan I could find http://www.nitromonkey.com/rampplans.shtml Im looking for something a little more upscale.

I guess taking a little more time to look I could have saved some time posting.

I found this http://rampplans.org/ramps/Gonzalo_Alonso_Jr/

Should I remove the lip and go half the size on length and keep the height?

Here are some of the better ones I have found.

There are many more ideas and plans just in these forms if you search for them.

Well in this issue of rc car action, it shows you how to make a sweet adjustable ramp.... I don't know if you can pick up this issue but it's simple and very detailed on how to do it. [[link=http://www.rccaraction.com/rc/backissues/display.asp?issueid=R0607]RC Car Action Ramp[/link]

AH very cool, I will have to go down to the bookstore and see if they have it in.

Is that the one with the two pieces of plywood, a hinge, and some chain between them? I built that ramp and love it.... light easy to pack in a car, and very simple. Only downfall is lack of underneath support. You can actually have the ramp slide when you hit it.

That ramp is okay for minis, and light 10 scale, the problem is that there is no curve to the ramp, if you set it up too high its like crashing your car on an inclined wall, and yes the ramp would slide, its always good to weigh it on the opposite side or underneath with something heavy.

There are good links above already, the important things is you get the idea. You can design and build your own. My only suggestion is to make it wide and long with a good curve. I made my first one only 12 inches wider than my RC10GT. It was hard to hit at full throttle. Learned my lesson when only one side of the wheels where on the ramp and the other side missed it, the car went airborne spiniing, lost one front wheel - nuts were stripped, body mounts also stripped, and body mounting holes torn, and scratches all over the body, broken a arm and rear shock tower.

We use the ramps you can buy at wal-mart for the bmx bikes . They are made out of plastic , very durable , water, fuel proof , and really fun when you stack two together . Backflips will give them something to see .
