Over the past month I’ve been converting my backyard pump track (bicycles) into an RC track. Lanes are between 7-9ft wide and my 1/10th 2wd and 4wd buggies are a lot of fun on it.
I’m still dialing in the layout and installing proper drainage. It gets covered before every rain. Loving having this in my backyard, will be good for getting practice when I can’t drive an hour or two away from Charlotte, NC to race at a proper track.

Great thread. I would love to build a track for our nitros but not sure how my HOA would respond. Might try the ask forgiveness rather than permission route lol

I actually want to mix in a bit of sand to get more bite out of it and also help it dry up faster. Currently it holds moisture for EVER! Which will be good in the summer but, it's tough coming out of winter. I might end up just treating the whole thing w/ SoilTac.

Finally put together a video on how we built our track.
Also...I can't get the videos to direct link (old) could use a hand with how to do that.

man, I'm trying to do this in my backyard but its longer than it is wide or narrow and my deck and retaining wall are taking up most of the valuable real-estate. lol
Might make it for 1/16 scale instead and give up on the jumps going up and down from the deck and the wall.
keep it simple so to speak at 1st.
