Got some track time in yesterday with the Vorteks and the Slash. Towards the end ended up goin' a little too crazy launchin' the Slash and busted one of the rear suspension arms. Replacement part is arriving today. 😁✌️
Nice cool weather yesterday evening, so got the Senton 6s out for a run and had wifey record some vids. Man, I love that thing! So glad I built it! 😍
Still got some areas on the track I need to level out and need to fix/adjust the ramp angles.
Enjoy the vid. 😁✌️
Thanks!
Haha.....idk...the 1st section initially built was behind the shed....a section we would never do anything with and was out of sight. That helped. Then she made the mistake of saying "You might as well extend it all the way to the fence".....2 years later (this year) I "cashed in" that...
Thanks!! Appreciate the love! 👊
Yea, upgraded to the steel spur in Feb. Also installed Notorious 6s front shocks on the rear and Mojave front shocks on the front.
So, I finally got the Go-Pro vids together from my 1st 2 runs on the new track extension. Both were test runs to determine what needed tweaked. The Tekno vid showed the ramps needing their angles adjusted and both show a definite learning curve on the new section. Tekno vid was with the "table...
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Yea, only body damage is always a plus.
Def gonna shoegoo or something to keep it from cracking more.
Yea, original section of track has a shortcut tunnel and on this one you can just jump a berm to keep going straight instead of around the new middle section.
The front part busted off on 1 side and I kept drivin' with it hangin' off. Eventually it was gettin' stuck/dragged underneath so I did cut one side off. :thumbs-up: 😂
Well, the novelty wore out quick on my "table tunnel". 🤷♂️ It was def challenging, but also just slowed the driving rhythm down and got frustrating. So bye-bye to that idea. 😂
Went back to basics and just made it lanes and added another small ramp. Track is def uneven and really rough, so...
Well, it's about 99% complete. Still got a few grass roots to pull up and there's a few spots with lots of little rocks embedded in the dirt....guess that could be a crawler section. 😂
Swept and wet down the new section. Too tired to do all that to the old section today. Even dressed up the...
Thanks! Appreciate it!
That's an awesome idea!! Great thinking and repurposing! :thumbs-up:
After I sweep it I'll spray it down with water. I spray weed killer on it regularly and spread hay salt before it rains.
Nah, that thing isn't very stable. It is cool though as it turns into a bench.
I am planning on building some kind of stand eventually. For now I'll move my current "stand" (portable scaffolding type thingy) and the umbrella over to where the picnic table is.
Man I'm beat. Just now called it a day. Def made good progress today. Just gotta finish relocating the dirt mound to the ramp and other places, finish up some piping, level some areas and put some final touches on. Hopefully it won't rain tomorrow.
The bridge.......sorry guys, but I gave up on...
