I did an other How to, diy, Indoor obstacle for your mini rc crawler. Working on a tight budget i used scrap Styrofoam and paper mache to make a "Mudpit" that you can use inside mess free.

Love the Clay Pebbles, best looking and most reactive when crawling on. There are smaller very round ones you can get at a box store made for indoor plants. I ended up trying those and they move awesome under the wheels. I also got some larger ones from a grow shop, 50lbs bag. Took out all the non round ones and use em as small boulders for a rock slide type effect. Makes for fun crawling.

Yeah, they look good, but I might try something else to get it to sink in a little more. They move around a bit better if I don't fill it as much. Might try mixing some smaller beads in with the clay pellets.

I made one of these mud pits a while. Carful with those clay balls. They can get caught up and do some damage. Try the gel balls. A little messy but you won’t snap an axle.

Yeah iv heard people have had that problem before. Even with the airsoft pellets. I'm not sure about the gel balls, if they are wet i don't think it would be good for the paper mache, the paint does protect it a bit from moisture but if it sat for long id worry about it soaking in. Hoping if I'm careful it wont be an issue and if it is ill have a good excuse for an upgrade.

Use beads instead of the bbs

You talking beads for like children necklaces? I never thought about that, might be able to find some for cheap. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@wreckemrc yup those beads for necklaces , they are cheaper than bbs and also slide around, those balls you used are too rough and tend to stay in place not letting the truck sink 👍
