I just ordered my first R/C in decades - a Traxxas Trx4m Defender and I just started making my portable log obstacle bridge at 56!

That is by far the most capable scx 24 I’ve ever seen!!!!

That Jeep you used in the end is literally the KING of all crawlers, ever, PERIOD.

My guy that crawler is 😮 wow amazing content

Thank you so much for this video! Bought my first trx4m, and I’m instantly hooked. Now time to start building my own course.

thanks for the link, i dont know why i didn't just look at your channel for this haha, i think i found your channel right after you posted this but you post so much it got lost!

Looking good!!! I've used plaster in a lot of model railroad applications. When the plaster cloth is wet, you can smooth with your finger to spread over the holes. But if you're doing mod poge and texture it probably doesn't matter. I have a 4x8' table in my basement, but I learned quickly,,, you want the high terrain in the middle. Anything on the edge results in crawlers falling off the table. I'm about to build a new one in my 3rd garage stall. I should have about 10x12' raw to work with, not including standing space. My plan is to use as much natural material as possible, including a waterproof container to act as an optional real mud pit. Mine will be flowy though, with specific routes for competition, etc. I'll probably do a mural behind it for good photography. Maybe a Moab theme. Last of all, I'm using an old salt water reef tank full spectrum light, so it will appear like natural sunlight. Just gotta remember to wear sunscreen! 😂 I'll create a new channel and journal all of it too.

Really appreciate your videos, especially your Bronco build series. I just got my Bronco a few weeks ago and you gave me the confidence to start doing my own mods!

I’m going full time RV life. I have always been into off-roading. My first gig will be at “Ventura Ranch Holiday KOA”. I think I will be talking to management about making the drainages into crawler courses since the park has such extreme terrain changes. I will be showing them some of your videos to promote this idea. Thank you!

I needed to see that T-Shirt graphic today

I started listening vs. watching at 6:00 and then flipped back at 30:00 and went WOAH! Nice work.

Another great video. I am in the process of moving my outdoor course and I have been thinking about adding some of the stuff you did in your course. I have been hesitant as I have never done any of this type of modeling, but this has given me the confidence to try. So thank you for doing this video!

Hey man, great work on that whole course it’s beautiful. One word of advice I learned from my uncle, when cutting consistent lengths on a miter saw, put a clamp or something as a stop with the edge towards the blade the length you need I.e. 6” pieces call for a 6” stop from blade side to clamp side

I found your channel late last week and helped me get an scx24. I will be reviewing your older videos

VERY WELL DONE! We are impressed! It's awesome to see your process. We have watched a ton of crawler course build videos. Thanks for sharing this!

Excellent video. I'm just getting ready to start my indoor course for my 1/18th scale. I'm just getting into the hobby. You have given me a lot of great ideas. Thank you.

Well, this sure does beat hauling boulders down into the basement XD. thanks for sharing the process, my son and I are taking notes.

This is great! With cold weather coming, we are getting ready to start our indoor course as well. The fake grass and rock really helps give a more realistic look. Now if only scale model trees weren't so ridiculously expensive...

Thank you for showing us your complete track build 👍I have watched many hours of your crawler posts, and it's great to see your course build in Detail 🤗 Greetings from Northern Europe....Harry

What a wicked little crawler

Wow thanks for this wonderful video on building a course. It was one of my next questions, but pretty much you got it covered. Now I have a plan on how to start working on one for myself at home. Thanks Adam

Looking good!

So an idea I was thinking... The cracks in the joint compound look a little too white. I wounder if you were to re-coat with a bit more but this time around add a bit of grey coloring to the joint compound a little lighter in color than the finished surface. Then when it cracks it would look a lot like natural rock. A lot of the expansion foam to me looks a little too much like foam as well. Don't get me wrong it all looks great but that might be a pretty good upgrade for later on. Color a bunch of joint compound and give it a full new coat to give the entire mountain a very natural look. Great course by the way, it is really inspiring me to make my own soon. Lastly, "Duh Dad, why else would we be outside with our work shoes on!" :D

I just want to say that I really appreciate the video walkthrough/tutorial. It's looking awesome!

This is great. I've been thinking about doing a mini course in my basement and this video will be a ton of help. Thank you!

Just found you. Thank you so much for this. I’ve got little to no skills but I think I’m going to try. Nothing to lose!

Great work. Love the thoughtfulness and detailing. Can Waite to build mine!!!

Awesome!!! I'm ditching the real boulders in my house and trying this

I love mini Mayham I like how you touched it up with the black looks like trucks has been driving up and down it for a while super cool

This is an awesome build!! I like the flex feature you put in. I didn't see it at first but that is great. I'm going to be building a course in the near future. I'm still gathering ideas. I'm very glad I watched this video before I started building. I think I would have tried to put to much into my build. Going to try and leave some driveability on the build. Every inch doesn't need a rock!!

What great ideas… thanks for sharing that. I live in the flat lands of south Florida so I don’t have mush to model after but I’m gonna try something like this. Looks fun. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

Yeah that was awesome nice driving

Great video and great detail to the course. I have been working on mine for the last year or so, I just keep adding something new. I have added a river with epoxy! Very cool stuff to use and looks great when it’s done. I made my course mobile as well. Two 2x4 sheets of MDF. Catch is all side line up so I mix up like a jig saw puzzle. Some times it’s 4x4 and sometimes it’s 2x8. Keep building. Cheers.

Excellent instructions, perfect. I will definitely be using some of your hints to build mine when I finally get the chance. Thanks for this video.

👍👍👍 great job brother course is looking awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Great video my friend!! 👍👍👍🤩 Your course looks amazing. This is what I have grown to love about this community. Everyone shares what they learn and try.

Man you rock haha. Well done your videos have made a world of difference in my c10 and deadbolt builds. Great tips awesome ideas, keep it up.

This is awesome! I have been waiting for this video and it didn't disappoint. Thanks, Adam, I appreciate this big time! Going to have to watch it all when I get home. Thanks again!

That was a great build. The whole course works well. Very informative and a lot of ideas as I start my first indoor course.

Thank you for the great video and ideas

My favorite video from you! I've been saving this one for a really cold weekend to watch, for some inspiration. Really good insights here! Great job!👊

Just started framing mine tonight. Always great content and ideas to make me spend more money.

SCX24 Indoor Crawler Course Build and Overview so great, nice video

Just awesome… thanks for posting

That's amazing, good job.

Heck yeah man outstanding 👍👍😎 You sure gave me some great ideas appreciate it. Will catch you on the next one

Yeah for those flex shots taking shape dude I love it really appreciate you sharing

Great job Adam !! Course looks really fun.

Just discovered your channel. New subscriber and new admirer right here - you are KILLING it here on youtube, wow! This course was a bunch of fun, you're easy to listen to and even seeing the power rack in the background (and your rad ink 'the struggle is the glory') are inspiring, I got a lot out of this little video. Great work, keep it up! -Craig

Excellent video. Had no idea what was used. I really like the rope bridge.

Súper cool. I did mine as a Utah themed course built on a 4x8’ plywood. I like the mini Moab details.

love the video to watch while in school.

Dude there’s definitely something to be proud of wow that’s beautiful man I love it I really appreciate this video you sharing awesome

Great course build Adam! We have built 1 4ft x 4ft section for us so far. We are looking at building us an indoor "L" shape course here soon. You have inspired me on some awesome ideas!. Thank you!

Brilliant, thanks for tutorial and you ended up with a fantastic crawler course, keep up the good work!

Yeah buddy I see your vision, love the rope bridges this is gonna be awesome dude

Hey Adam…. I’m going to model your course. I think it’s got a number of great continuous obstacles and climbs. Thanks for all the advise, and ideas to use. You’ve got a great layout for an indoor course. Love your rigs and informative videos. Thanks bro 💪😎👊

You could post 4 hours of you building courses no time lapse and I’d watch it all day 🤣👌🏼 trying to get some inspiration to start on an indoor course for these muddy nasty days!!

I've been waiting for this one!

That’s awesome dude, here in my little town of Manchester I do mean little, but the people really decorates up front of their houses for Halloween. Someone’s got the 10 feet tall skeletons they are awesome . Hope you show more of yours looks pretty awesome

🔥🔥🤙🏽🤙🏽 it looks awesome

Perfect time for a video we’re stuck at a dealership

I'm in the middle of my first little course build. I'm using mostly blue foamboard trying to get some height out of it, with multiple "floors"to the structures. Turning out pretty neat but I guess we'll see when it's all done!

Very nice course definitely looks great

SO BASICALLY.....It's like building a model railroad layout. That's cool....I don't know why I didn't think of that myself considering I have a 42' X 16' N Scale model railroad......LOL .....Thanks Adam for knocking the cobwebs loose. Geeze........duhh

Yes it is looking really good, dude it’s going to be sweet

Awesome, I’m here watching for this yeah super cool 😎👍👍

Building my own on a small budget most materials are free except for glues, screws, foam and paints. my garage is almost taken over with 1/24 land 👍 new subscriber great video 😎

These videos are superb!! In every way barely got into the 1/24 scale crawlers and your gladiator build has been my inspiration!! You’re an awesome content creator

subbed just because of this video, please keep adding on and bringing us with vlog style! would be awesome! great job

Man this course is so awesome!! I may use a couple area's for my build! Gonna get it all started this weekend!! Upgrades coming for my JLU as well!! All parts are inspired after your JLU build!!

Thx- nice course

Foam coat is a great and durable material. Making foam rocks for the crawler corse. Foam coat factory for all your foam needs. Nice build keep us informed on how. Durable the plaster is.

this is awesome i got a FMS 1/18 Hilux hoping to build this soon for now im building a little course for now im using left over wood and rocks on the work bench also your definitely 💯% the best youtuber and instagramer keep it up

Thank you this will help a lot

That's awesome! You've got me hooked on these crawlers. I've made 2 small courses already. Yours look amazing tho. Great video

Great video and tutorial. I am getting away from bashing and into crawling. Love the course ideas, easily obtainable materials! Looking forward to watching more and can’t wait to get started on mine!

Duuuuude, you got a blue Gladiator like your 24! Lol Right on, bro! 🤟🏻😎 You should make your terrain park look more realistic, add some foam like grass, dirt, maybe some trees to give it that woodsy kind of feel, maybe for the canyon, maybe put a waterfall feature in there. I get these ideas because, before I got into this RC hobby, I watch these N Scale/HO Scale train layout train videos & that's where I get those kind of ideas from, especially when it comes to foam. lol Just putting some ideas out there. 😁

Yeah it’s the same thing here in Manchester Michigan almost Halloween the weather is definitely changing quick that’s the beauty of the 1/24 scale yeah

Great vid

Right on have your crawler with you as you build Yep

I'm building a small course on top of a flat cardboard box. I'm gluing boxes and foam down to make the park and then paper mache on top of everything. I started yesterday and should be done today.

I've been thinking about starting a mini indoor course and this gave me some great ideas, so thanks! I'm also from MA and looking to get something going before winter so perfect timing finding this vid. I'm just getting into the mini scene and have a SCX24 and an Enduro24. Would be great to have something like this to bash around on. Never made any indoor courses before but have made some outdoor tracks in the past - getting creative with things like table top jumps and banked corners using just stuff I had laying around to make things work. I guess my only thing I would want to incorporate into an indoor course that yours doesn't have is some real dirt paths to test traction etc. and maybe a water feature. But the stuff you've done here certainly showcases a lot of great techniques to build the base and add on to with other elements. Good stuff - got me to subscribe. Just getting started with my channel - check it out if you get a chance.

good job interesting design very informative

I love this man. I am new to this scene in fact I don’t even have a crawler but this helps a lot

What passion behind these builds! Great job, very nice to see the final „product“ but to see how it was buildt was even more interesting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

awesome! love the new digs! that "Man's" motor is gonna tear it up! lol

Yeah look at that flex awesome

Wow this was awesome dude, really appreciate you sharing enjoy this video a lot will catch you on the next one. Peace and chicken grease 😁😁👍👍😎

Really enjoyed this build Adam and it looks awesome Bud 😍👍🏻. My pal and i have been talking about doing a really big course in his spare bedroom and after watching this i think it will be very soon because i cant wait any longer 😂. I really do enjoy this channel and really look forward to your videos and you out do yourself everytime, so want to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to make, edit and post on too KZfaq 🤙🏻👍🏻🤙🏻

Good keep it up

My ocd wanted to brush out those glue runs on those steps so bad lol ,but gotta say it looks awesome . My girlfriends son had a school project he had tried to get his dad's help but he was "busy" he had to make a model of the intestines he tried a few times on his own and since he was trying I offered my help I used a 2x2 piece of 1/4 "plywood ond took minimal expansion foam and followed the outline of the intestines and I had him paint it with a rust colored spray paint it came out perfect and got 2 A's one for his paper and one for his project.

Adam! So many things that I’ve used in the past doing railroad and military things, but on a smaller scale. That said, a couple of tips for the room - when using the foam boards and glueing, use a few drywall screws too between layers to secure quickly. No need to wait for glue to dry while handling. Also, because I love the foam panels, you can also use scraps to layer and carve rocks from too - just another opp in place of crunch cardboard or trash if you have a particular shape in mind. I’d advise ppl to use foam sparingly so the coarse doesn’t look like stack marshmallows! Your Moab section came out great! And the joint company cracks combined with the paint layering looks sweet! Unintended benefits!

This is absolutely amazing! You did an awesome job and that Jeep looked super cool crawling through there and flexing! I'm really considering building an indoor crawler course soon and this has definitely given me motivation. Keep doing your thing brother! 💪🏼🙏🏼

You could do an air soft bb mud pit in the middle somewhere!

That cool! GOTTA MAKE ONE FORE MY RC CHANNEL

I want/need to finally build one myself. Dont really know how so this video did help alot. Now i just need money for the materials (paint,plaster sheets, styrofoam etc.). I have some wood and cardboar boxes home so i think thatll be fine.

When I get enough money, I'm gonna recreate that super flex Jeep that you have

I have my c10 almost maxed out and I have a jeep truck coming in a few weeks!
