I built another r/c track
My bother and I built another r/c track. This time it was for the mid michigan dirt diggerz. I posted some pics of the track I built for myself a couple of months ago and the owner of this track contacted me and asked to have us rebuilt thier track. I sat down with some paper, designed a few jumps, and this is what we came up with. The club is supposed to put the tubing doen this week and then you'll be able to see the shape of things a lot better. I hope you like the pics

We used a plate compator to pack everything. Using the skid loader or tractor to pack stuff makes a mess and leaves things uneven. We use the machines to pack dirt bike tracks but the r/c tracks require more attention to detail.

I see your located in macomb. I just got done building a indoor track in Port Huron that you might want to check out this winter. It's a combination of a oval track and a off road track. Here's a few pics and a link to their web site.

I am guessing you are running 1/5 1/8 and maybe 1/10 cars, nice track but you might want to work on spelling like the word down.

Hey moebigslee,
Nice jobs on those tracks! It takes someone who is part artist and someone who is good with machines to create what you've done. Way to go, I envy your talents!
As for xzavin, don't be too harsh. He obviously has no life...

RE: I built another r/c track
Where are the MidMichigan Dirt Diggerz located? I live right in Mid Michigan and haven't found any "professional" tracks to run on. My friends and I just run on the track we built at my house. It's a nice track, but not as big or as nice as what you have pictured. What size is it? Mine is 100'X50'. This track looks like 200'X200' or something. If its close by I'd LOVE to run on it!!!
