The ramp looks great. I'm considering putting outdoor carpet on my next ramp. I think it would help a lot with traction. I like how you set it up in modules for easy transport. 👍
Awesome! I just decided to make a modular ramp system for my monster trucks! Looks like you need a more gradual curve on the tall ramp so your front end doesn’t hit before your tires (happens to me all the time when I just lean up a piece of wood against some cinder blocks. As for the connecting then you could looks into some kind of heavy duty Velcro strap (doubles as a carry handle) or those metal latches you’d find on hard cases like they use for hauling around concert gear or army footlockers.
That's exactly what I'm thinking for that larger ramp. Just making the slope a little more gradual and the face longer so the trucks can travel smoothly up it. As for the latches, I have something in mind but I need to get the other two ramps built first as it involves locking all four together, sandwiching the box in the center. I like the metal latch idea! Thanks!
It's 1/8th inch or about 4mm plywood for the faces. I believe it's birch but not 100% sure on that. The ramp sides that I made out of plywood are 1/2 inch thick.
That's exactly what I'm thinking! Thinking I can make it a little smoother even if I'm losing a little on the top lip it'll still make for a smoother launch angle for the bigger jump

This is a great design. Just needs fixing a bit
Thank you! I agree, just a little bit of adjustment that should be pretty simple to do!
What kind of plywood are you using?
It's 1/8th inch or about 4mm plywood for the faces. I believe it's birch but not 100% sure on that. The ramp sides that I made out of plywood are 1/2 inch thick.
The starting angle on the larger side of the ramp is way too steep the truck is crashing into it rather than going up it.
