😅I’m watching it five years later now lol

Well here I am in 2024 5 year later and this video is really helpful

5 year now

everyone does lol. One day I'll show it to you guys. I'm almost at the point to where I can start back working on it.

thats awesome! I'm glad it helped you!

How big were the sheets of plywood you bought?

@@timsgta They all come in 4x8, 4x4, or 4x2 feet.

@@outsourcedrc so are 4x4 sheets sufficient for the 45 angles? I'm just trying not to overbuy if I can help it...

@@timsgta Not at the size of my ramp. You will have to shorten it. You can see in the video where I add a small strip at the top. Keep in mind if you shorten it, you will bottom out on the ramp and could even punch holes in it with your chassis. I know because I have done it on shorter ramps.

Thanks!

Thank you!

You are welcome!

Thanks! I hope it helped you out!

Thats awesome! They are great ramps

Thanks!

traxxastrucks36 that’s awesome!

Thanks!

@@outsourcedrc No..... TY Sir

Thats awesome!

Build you one!

lol thanks

Never watched a ramp build before. That is pretty slick.

Thanks! Wait, which one?

I hope you guys have a blast on it

Thanks!

No problem! welcome to the channel

Thanks!

That's awesome! I wish I had more time to work on that Mustang. I've had it for a while. It seems every time I get ready to work on it, something comes up.

It’s been a great ramp!

They actually take about an hour to put one together.

Thanks! If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you. I appreciate your response. I very well may have some questions. ;-)

Thank you! I noticed you're in at least one of the E-Revo groups I'm reading on FB. Unless you feel like there should be changes to your design here, I think I'd like to copy exactly what you've done.

We have used these ramps a lot and they are solid. I can't decide where I like the wheels mounted at better. I have them mounted differently on both ramps and I don't think it matters. The 45 degree ramp is good for a lot of air at low speeds. It's good for practicing flips and such with out sending the E Revo 60 feet across the yard. The 30 degree is fun for casual jumps. You can still do flips and such off of it but you need a bit more speed than you do on the 45. If I were only going to build one ramp, I think I'd make a 35 degree ramp.

Interesting. Thank you. At first I was afraid of the 45 degree ramp because you hit it pretty hard. I have a couple other channels I look at and slow 45 degrees looks fun and manageable for learning trigger control. otoh, I even told my dad that I thought I should build your 30 degree just to play safe. Get some long jumps I can handle under my belt. My property though isn't big enough to do long shots but can accommodate slower stuff. I even roll up oak trees lately and land backflips as my first repeatable trick. lol Anyway, a 35-40 degree may be my sweet spot. Gonna do it maybe this Independence Day / week and my final angle and ratio will end up last minute but right where you've directed me either way. We have a Harbor Freight within 4 miles and casters for easy mobility will happen. I plan to take photos and put up on the FB group. Thanks for the inspiration. Once I get the limiting strap mod in place also next week, I'll be fearless. ;-)

Thanks!

I hope it works as well for you as it does for me!

Thank you! I hope it lasts you a long time!

Thanks so much.

No problem!

I made one about 3.5' wide so I can slide it into my suv. :) 3.5 seems plenty wide..... unless you are gonna send it at full speed...then maybe I need 6' wide! haha my driving sucks.

Thanks!

Yeah its much easier on the RC's. The 45 has special plans. Its also easier to pull off tricks with the 45 without having to get a lot of speed. Just a little bit will get the RC way in the air.

The 30 degree is probably worse tbh because you have much less air time to correct.

Yeah I know. Its a future project. I'm debating building its own building.

Thanks!

It's because I used to be a sheet metal worker. You had to wear gloves all the time.

You are welcome! They have been great for me!

Love your car btw

Ha. Thanks! Wait, which one? I have two Mustangs.

Thanks!

Check out some of my videos..👍

Pretty much. I'd make a skateboard ramp more stable.

I’ve actually cracked the lower panels from hitting it so hard.

@@outsourcedrc wow that's crazy. That takes so force. i doubt I'll be hitting it very fast and it's just gonna be a kraton and maxxv2 hitting it so we'll see how it holds up. I might have to beef it up. I got it built today but no time to test it yet. 😔 But I'm only using thin luan. About as thick as paneling for the deck 🤞

I'm glad the video helped you. Yes I send my Typhon off this ramp. I do back flips with the Typhon on my 45 degree ramp. It needs a lot of air to fully rotate.

One of the biggest problems I see with people jumping is hitting the ramp. I think a 4 foot ramp is too small sometimes. Honestly, the only tools you really need are a jigsaw, a hand saw, and either a hammer or a drill of some kind. Ask around. I'm sure someone you know would loan you the tools. You may even be able to rent them from somewhere.

Same here. Planned to buy a couple but I think I can do this with family help and tools. :-)

RC Propaganda what’s up brotha, so this is what made u make ur ramp

RC Propaganda oh ya I also sent u my address about the stickers, gotta email me urs so I can send u mine too

Yep, thats what a short, straight ramp will do.

Right? Its a $300 ramp now lol

You're not far wrong. My kids and I are going to start working on one tomorrow for our local RC park. 1/2" plywood is $20 each. 2x4 are $10. We're also going to paint it with a textured paint for traction.

Thanks!

@@outsourcedrc what year is it

@@brockwest2809 69

Thanks! Without the double layer, the chassis will break right through it. I'm speaking from experience.

Thanks!

Thanks! It depends on the RC I'm driving and what I am doing. I think I use the 30 degree more often because I like those long and fast jumps over the higher jumps. Normally I dont hit the 45 very fast. I use it for flips and such.

Awesome. I hope it turns out great!

Hey what ramps did you get from that site? Are they good? thanks

Not for something like this. I do on my nice wood projects. The wood is soft enough for the screws to sink in.

Micron RC hey brotha u know u can add comments to ur first comment so u don’t have to leave 15 messages, 😂 good to see u brotha, got the M-05 done today but probably will wait till tamiya Tuesday to post it, might post on Facebook

Predrilling those holes would have made assembly go MUCH faster.

Thanks! I have no idea what it is. Home Depot has a rack of them in the isle with the screws and rope. Its with the square aluminum rods and such.

i did, but this isnt how we made our skateboard ramps.

Its the E Revo 2.0 in the video, but I also run the V1 and the 1/16th E Revo also. The E Revo 2.0 is holding up great. Since I put the limiting straps and swapped out the servos, the only issues I've had have been a couple of push rods and one tie rod end. This is the most durable RC I have ever ran. Its crazy.

@@daveyoneslimobi4525 NO, but they are totally different RC's
