HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 янв 2023
- In This Video I go over step by step how to build your own indoor mini RC Crawler Course for SCX24 and TRX4M Crawlers. I list all materials used and spent about $300 total. This course is different than all the rest because it gives off a pool table style vibe and looks like a nice show piece diorama in your home.

One of If not the best indoor crawler course I’ve seen!
Thanks. I really appreciate that!
Hi Ricky. I’m 53 years of age, and brand new to the world of RC, crawlers etc. I have to say, what you have accomplished is absolutely stunning. I will be using some of your ideas in my build. Thanks for the channel.
Ps have you ever thought to selling your voice to relaxation companies. You’d make a fortune. Second only to Mr Freeman. Keep it up mate.
Thanks for watching the video. I’m glad you enjoyed it and got some ideas for your own build. That’s why I made the video, hoping others could take some ideas and mix them with their own to create their own great builds!
lol, I’ve never thought about the relaxation voice over idea. But hey, who knows, could work lol.
Your track looks awesome. I hope you are having a lot of fun with it. You just inspired me to make one for my apartment (a smaller one probably modular). Great track, you are very skilled and creative. Excellent video
Thanks. I really appreciate your comment. I use the course all the time. It was very worth all the time and effort to build. I’m glad you were able to gain some inspiration from the build video! Definitely subscribe, there will be more to come in the future! Thanks.
Absolutely gorgeous!! Someone please get this master craftsman some scx24 upgrades!! XD amazing course!
Lol thanks. I appreciate you checking out the build video! The build was very worth the time spent.
YES, I came here to say you need some upgrades, because this is the most technical course I’ve seen so far! It looks amazing!
Great video 👍
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Wow that's a nice work
Thanks, appreciate it!
Superb! Great run, too. 👍
Thanks for watching the video! Appreciate it.
Cool project 🎉 👏
Thanks, appreciate. Definitely don't be scared to build your own. Very rewarding!
awesome.God bless.
Thanks for watching
super super cool!
Appreciate it man!
Great information! Thank You! Definitely have to try a smaller version for my NYC apartment.
Glad you liked the video! The course is very worth the time to build.
This is the coolest 24th scale course I've seen. Great job!
Thanks. I put a lot of work into it. I’m glad you like it!
NICE WORK.
Thanks. Appreciate that!
cool content. Nice job on the course!
Thanks. Appreciate u checking out the channel!
Just getting back into r/c and my rock crawling Bronco...this was an amazing course and makes for a FUN furniture piece. Sounds like I could make some trains go around this piece too. Maybe make an entrance to your course? Thanks for all of the hard work. Really looks amazing.
Thanks for checking out my video man. I really appreciate the comments! Yes, something like this would be great for trains too. And yea, I have this in my home office and it is a great show piece and gets lots of attention. Well worth the time to design and build!
Very cool
Thanks man!
Got lots of ideas from this.. subbed
Glad to hear. Appreciate it!
Ricky. You have a lot of good ideas I haven’t seen before. I’m just starting my projects and will used some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing with the World
Thanks a lot Bruce. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I tried to spend a lot of time and make a quality Crawler Course that I would be happy with for years. And wanted to share the journey with you guys! Thanks again for tuning in to the channel. I will definitely be building more courses and crawlers on the future.
I am enjoying watching your process. Also, i got my plaster cloth from Blick Art for a fraction of Amazon. After wetting the cloth, pinch your thumb and fore finger on the cloth and squeeze it down in long strokes. That makes it so much more workable. This is really an excellent video, I learned quite a lot, THANK YOU!
Thanks for watching the video Greg, and the info and the plaster cloth. The course is still up and holding strong. Definitely check out some of my future course info and crawler build videos if you would like!
I just looked, Blick is $70 for four rolls of 4" wide x 62.5 yards each. 250 yards total. I subscribed to your channel, keep them coming!
@@greg-vj6qy Thanks, I'll look into ordering there in the future. Appreciate the Subscribe!!!
Great job looks like a blast to drive on !
Thanks. It was very worth the time building.
Incredible!
Appreciate it!
Thanks.
Beautiful! Well done! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
taking inspiration from your build, learned a lot, thanks.
I’m glad to hear that. It’s fun building a course and seeing your vision come to life. Take your time and don’t cut corners to hurry and finish.
Friggin sick!!! Thank you for making the video! Very inspiring💪
Thanks a lot for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
This is great, gave me so many ideas for my own course at home. Thanks!
Appreciate the comment. Glad the video helped!
Beautiful track!
Thanks a lot!
You have really started something. I am going to do this myself. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I’m glad you liked the video and have been inspired to create your own course! Definitely worth the work.
I made a log bridge last night, I had to make a needle type thingy out of a twisted wire to make the feeding process go more smoothly. twine is rough and hard to work with but looks perfect👍
nice course I enjoyed the build🏆
Lol yea, looks amazing when complete and very realistic. But hard to get through the tiny holes lol. Wrapped tape at the end helps a lot too. Thanks for watching the video!
Ricky!! I love this video thank you for the work you put into the course and the detail you put into the video! PLEASE PLEASE do not crosscut boards on a table saw using the fence like that at 10 minutes into the video!! That is a great recipe for kickback. I have been woodworking for a few years and that is the number one safety rule for a table saw. use your miter gauge and do not have the fence touching your piece as you run it through the blade like that. Woodworking for mere mortals Steve Ramsey has some good youtube videos on saftey. I want to see more videos like that with a Ricky that has all of his fingers :thumbs_up:
look up cross cutting with a table saw.
Clear, glad you liked the video. I’ll def take a look at some of those safety wood working videos. Would rather use a miter saw but do not own one.
Looks great and a lot of fun.
Thanks, definitely worth the build. Hours of fun!
Nice job ricky!!
Thanks Harley, Appreciate it!
Looks really nice (and fun). I've got so many hobbies, I really didn't need to pick up a rock crawler, but I did so I guess it is time to start makin' the great outdoors in my basement :). Thanks for the content, great ideas.
Lol, I’m just like you. Too many hobbies…money pits lol. And every hobby I pick up I go all out on. But the crawlers are very addictive, but very worth it!
Great course thanks for taking us with ya on this build
Thanks, my pleasure. I'm glad you liked it!
@@RickyFlakes my wife and I have been running our 24's in the yard. But wanna build something for when we snowed in and ya inspire
@@YNOTRC Appreciate it man. I wish my wife enjoyed running 24's lol.
Nice!!!
Appreciate the comment. Def Subscribe for more content. Thanks!
That is a masterpiece you must be a artist Wish I can build something like that Thank you so much for the video.
Thanks for the comment! You will be surprised what you can do when you put your mind to it! Definitely worth a try. But I have dabbled in art, drawing, etc. every since I was a young.
This type of stuff really is being willing to try things. Needs some dinosaurs and big mammals!
23:24 cool area! Well done sir.
25:34 use wire in this part.
@@tonyromano6220 thank you sir!
Very cool..
Thanks, appreciate it!
Awesome job on the course
Thanks. Appreciate it!
Very cool. I used the same base and plaster material for mine. I did a Utah themed desert scape though. I like the wood round hill climb. Super cool.
Thanks. Yea a Utah theme would look great too. Lots of possibilities lol.
badass bro....next level for sure!!!
Thanks. I’m glad you liked the course. Appreciate it!!!
WoW!!! Awesome Build! Very Cool Course! Congrats! Loved and Subscribed! Cheers!
I’m glad to hear that. Thanks.
@@RickyFlakes 🐼
Amazing
Thanks, appreciate the compliment. Def Like and Subscribe for more content!
Legit one of the best videos I’ve seen on how to make a course. It looks amazing! I’m plan on making a course, and will use a ton of your advice. Mine will be more desert scenery, as that’s where I live, but this video will help me tons.
Thanks. I’m glad you got a lot of good tips from the video. The course still looks amazing and I’ve drove many crawlers on it hundreds of times. Definitely worth the time to build. A desert build would be a great project. I would love to see your build when you are done. Keep me updated!
another awesome way to get ideas and learn is to look up people that do large cliff or just landscape dioramas in general but yea this is pretty awesome.
Great job bro! Excellent attention to detail. Looks awesome! Great job in the video too 👍👊🤙
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate these comments! Glad you liked the video.
Very nice! Like you have lots of lines to chose from. I am working on a 3 foot by 6 foot three level layout. Your layout has got my mind working overtime now.
Appreciate the comment. 3 x 6 would be prefect, and yes you can add many levels and make lots of lines. Just make each level very sturdy and you will be good!
Looks great !!! Nice build 👍👍👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks man. Appreciate that!
@@RickyFlakes this is a great hobby and I always give credit where credit is do and this is a dam good job man👍👍..
Thank u sir!
That is an interesting course, I can see you but a lot of time & thought into building it. It reminds me of some of the dioramas the train guys build.
Thanks, yes I did spend a lot of time on the build. And I did go for the detail the train guys use on their courses. Worth the effort. Appreciate the comment.
It is awesome 😎
Thanks, appreciate it!
Hey Man! love your channel! Keep up the great work. I recently started my own RC Channel. Just picked up a Traxxas Hoss and a Traxxas TRX 4 Crawler to add to the collection! Happy Bashing!
Great to hear man. I’ll def check out the channel!
@@RickyFlakes Thanks!!!
🇩🇰🇩🇰looks very NICE 🤩🤗🏔️🌋keep up the fun ride on yours very Nice build crawl 🇩🇰🇩🇰
Thanks. I really appreciate the comment!
i do alot of the same hobby building stuff you do,save your back,invest in some saw horsesother than that great work
Thanks for watching! appreciate the comments!
That is awesome my friend!!!🤩👍👍👍 Great job on the video also.
💢Subscribed 💢
Thanks, I appreciate that. Worked hard on the video and the course lol.
@@RickyFlakes it shows my friend!!
Great job!!👍👍👍
This course would kill me - looks awesome though. Nice work. Making mine very soon…
It will kill you to crawl or kill you to build lol? Took a lot of time but worth it. You will enjoy the build.
@@RickyFlakes would kill me to crawl 😂
@@oliverruelas1562 All with practice.
This seems like you took forever to make that, this is amazing dude, keep it up!
Appreciate the comment man. I took a while to build on and off, probably like a month a few hours here and there. But very worth it. Definitely worth trying out urself!
Very nice sir
Thanks. Appreciate it!
😎👍
great video! very informative. i am starting my build of my indoor crawl course for my trx4m and the scx24. i have a 4x8 sheet on wood mounted to some saw horses and tomorrow i am starting my build. this video helped me with ideas. not sure if ill get it this good but thanks for the video.
Thanks man. I’m glad my video has helped many people get ideas for their own course. Just take ur time and don’t cut corners to try and rush and finish. Stick to ur plan! I appreciate the comment.
Hey. I was going to post some photos of my progress on my indoor course for you to check out. Not sure if I can put links in comment section to let you see the photos.
@@travelinwithTODD Hey Todd, I sent you a reply to this comment a few days ago but I guess it did not show up for some reason, who knows. But yea, I would love to see the progress of your course man, you can try to post images in the comments and see if that works. Otherwise we will figure something else out so that I can see the course build!
@RickyFlakes hey Ricky. I did reply to some post with some links. Same here, must not have posted either. I'll try it here. youtube.com/@travelinwithTODD?si=4rtEA69SnI4ZI7ZI. Not sure which link this is. Lol should be the community section of my you tube. I have a couple videos up showing the build. Just photos though. I have video just haven't edited it yet.
Like the idea of heating branches up to kill bugs. But wife not to keen on using our oven for that :)
Yea, it dries the wood completely out too. Ur wife has to leave the house to go to the mall eventually lol. Just make sure she is gone for an hour and clean the oven out lol.
Hello. Nice video. I am building a 1/24 track myself for my Ford Bronco. This is my first time trying to build something like this. I have made 3 videos about it. I'm not good at speaking English, but I think it's going well. Best regards Thomas
Great. Yea man, definitely a fun build. And worth it when finished! Glad you checked out the video!
Look at some model railroading videos about casting rocks. Take this excellent build to the next level.
Will do. I’ve seen some really amazing train builds.
@@RickyFlakes modeling in general has advanced to the point it is fairly easy to make any subject look real. Water, rust, people, trees, everything! Real upside to internet and technology! Glad you took my comment well, so many folks are way too sensitive these days. We used hydrocal before woodland scenics even sold it. Big 80 pound bags from a foundry supply place it think. I am assuming you used some plaster tape….
@@tonyromano6220 yes, I used plaster cloth sheets and spray foam mostly. Lol I do see people getting angry over others opinions. Pretty funny
@@RickyFlakes yep, makes learning hard.
cool
Appreciate the comment!
Hey, love your track. It has so many paths on a small footprint! Do you have any overhead shots? Would love to see it.
Thanks for checking out the video and appreciate the comment. I’ll link a video below shot from above so you can see the whole course while crawling. And def check out many other vids on the channel:
ruclips.net/video/zDdzI5vlmWU/видео.htmlsi=3_nuzcPXOIG7sEKu
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
I’ve watch your shorts before.
@@RickyFlakes Appreciate checking my videos out!
- Glad I found your channel. This video is going to be very helpful for when I get around to building a course! Great information 🔥💯👊
Great to hear. Definitely worth the time to build!
Amazing work, love the course. So much details as well, just love it! Subscribed!
Thanks. That’s great to hear. I’m glad you guys are enjoying the vids.
You should get a animal to put in there😂😂😂 but it does look amazing!
And I mean a real life animal but just make the walls bigger-
Lol. Would be a cool idea. I have a crested gecko vivarium made into the bookshelf in the background.
amazing!!! get one follower so
Thanks a lot Jessica!
Do you have a video of an ax24 on this course
Hi, sadly I don’t have a video of an AX24 on the course.
i would have done the colors and painting of course more detailed
Need some upgrades on your rig my friend.
Was using the stock Scx24 for the demo demonstrations. But check out my channel, lots of custom builds. :)
PRO TIP NEVER SCREW DOWN THE GRAIN LIKE YOU DID ON THE BLOCKS FOR YOUR BRIDGE SUPPORTS> THOS BLOCKS WILL SPLIT WITH TIME AND THOSE SUPPORTS WILL FALL DOWN.
Clear, I'll look into it. Always learning lol.
@@RickyFlakes yea as a framer you learn fast when cuttin lumber into small blocks never screw into the grains it will split it ike a log. go the other way into the grain fron the side of it. think of it like screwing into a phone book of you screw the pages together you are good if you try to screw it into the side splitting the pages it will fail
Too small
Designed to fit in my office space to use in my down time. Would be amazing to build in your entire garage lol.
LOSE the annoying so called, music...
lol
That looks awesome, how much time did you put in ?
Thanks for the comment! It took me about 1 month to build on and off. Collecting and cutting materials etc.
Very worth it though!
