Planned Track
After seeing PWalks track I decided to start my own so heres the plan. Give me ideas. It wont be started until after August 1st.
Red=Bridge
Dark Yellow=Incline
Light Yellow=Decline
Green=Cayon
Tan=Track
Dark Tan=Starting Level
Black Spray=Secret Path(Can be blocked to shorten or lengthen track)
Purple=Car has to run through water(Note painted water not real water)
Blue=Water
Black=Foliage&Rocks
Track will be 10foot by 8 foot. Track will be made out of painted wood, sandpaper, model trees, crayola stuff(its like clay), and other good stuff. Probably be finished around November depending when I get started and funding.

an idea for hills and stuff where you wanna raise the terrain use mono foam cuz it's strong and will creat relitivelly realistic mountain sides with some work.

Thx Pig, I was going to show him that.
I have two real quick suggestions:
1.) 8'x10' is a great size but a pain in the ass to transport and to store. It gives you the ability to have wide turns making it easier for you to steer through and to keep up the speed.
2.) Don't go steep with the hills. If you notice on my track I have the Bit's going up layer by layer at an incline of about 25 degrees tops. Also try and make the inclines long as it won't wear your battery(ies) out as fast.
if you need any further help feel free to ask, and good luck!!

Ok thanx for all the info yall its really helpful. It will probably be shoter then 8x10 and I dont have to worry about transport because no one around me uses mini rcs so it will be more of a thing for me and my dad to play with. I planned it big because our new house is a 3 car garage and my dad is only using a bit of the 3rd spot.
