Great idea, i watched many videos and got great plans from many vids, i may do one like yours with a 4X8 sheet of plywood cut in half....will be 4' wide, so plenty wide....thanks for the idea 👍👍
I think that the eyelet screws should be screwed completely into the wood and grind off any excess that is sticking out until it is flush to the board . This will make the screw much more rigid and prevent the screw from being bent or even pulled out when the car hits the ramp at faster speeds . The weight of the car coupled with the force that it hits the ramp will put much more strain on the chain than what you might think . IMO only .
Thanks Buddy.. Built this and it works so great and didnt take long to build.. I did put the Screw Eyes on one of the side of the ramp so it can fold completely flat as another commenter suggested. Right now just using twine through those screw eyes but thinking of putting a a third anchor point then just adjusting the length i want and tying to the third anchor point. Needless to say when my 4y year old son and 7 year old nephew saw those cars flying in the air they couldnt get enough!
Great to hear that! The screw eye amendment the other commenter suggested was a top tip. I will try and work on an updated version when I get a minute, I'm thinking of using some sort of plastic/composite sheet that might reduce the weight but still keep it stiff
yes it is a bit heavy, my first thought was to use Plexiglass but since I had some old plywood laying around airport used that.. though plexiglass could lead to traction issue I imagine.
I made mine just like yours but used plywood with a 2x1 frame screw the plywood to the frame but overlap the frame 20mm at bottom that gets rid of ridge, hinges at top joint, then put your chains at the side easier to keep adjusting :) and I made my ramp 4’ wide
Great idea, very simple, and some good improvement ideas in the comments. Consider width of ramp 3-4x width of vehicle. I also like the idea of one side longer for two different angles, with a ratio of 1:1.5 (length of each board - 12”:18”).
I love the design and that it will fold up for transport. Thanks for all of the refinement of the design. I will offset the eyelets and add a latch to lock it when folded. Thanks for sharing the idea.
Awsome , should have figured you would have this topic covered!! Having a blast with my xmaxx. Now going to start to get jumping going, and upgrades next. So this will deff help me out. Thanks again from across the pond in New York
John glad it's of help for the xmaxx you can just upscale it a bit in terms of wood thickness etc. Hope it's not too snowy and cold over there, I do miss the snow back in NJ some days
@@DriftomaniacsRC I did have 1 quick question, I am thinking of upgrading to the hobbywing max6 , you recomend the 1650 kv or the 1,100 kv for it ? And merry xmas or in my case a merry xmaxx l ol
Wow.... I was just about to buy a $125 ramp.... THIS WILL SAVE ME MONEY!! Thanks so much for posting. I think I will get a 2x4 board instead of 2x2 that was I won't have to stand right behind it to get on it. It seems to be a little difficult to hit the 2x2 board. I have the slash ultimate and being so big I think I will get the wider board. Anyways, thanks for posting!! The rain in the end made me happy haha in Nevada its been a really dry winter :( God Bless
Nevada GREAT that you picked up on the fact that 2x4 is the way to go. The 2x2 is very hard to hit with anything 1/10 scale or above at higher speeds even in dry conditions. Now I've moved house you've inspired me to buidl a new 2x4 one myself. Just moved to a State VERY near you. Although it's rained daily since we arrived!
Oh cool!! Actually tomorrow I am headed to Lowes to get the boards hahaha Thank you for the reply :) It must be up in Oregon where you are. I am not sure where else its raining haha
Oh yeah the slash would love this. I've been toying with buying one for over a year now, but then something new and shiny comes out and I change my mind
Great info. I was looking at ramps and the cheapest one is like $30+ for a damn piece of plastic. I'll do this instead. Thanks! I'm going to need something bigger though because I have a Kraton 6s and an Xmaxx 8s coming soon 😂
From the uk now living in CA. Unwatchable? You need to move nearer to the TV but we appreciate that would mean moving out of the armchair and that’s not happening is it??
You seem to miss the point . I'm showing you what goes wrong........it's done deliberately as I tell you in the video......Guess when people jump in with a comment before watching or listening to the whole video then you can't help them....
@@DriftomaniacsRC I simply stated that the ramp sucks as well as your driving skils! If the ramp was made properly it would still be shit and yes I watched the whole video and will never get the time wasted back
Guess you must be one of the 11 thumbs down and not one of the 204 thumbs up, secondly this channel is child friendly unlike your language, which I'd ask you to watch. Thirdly I suggest you post your own videos and show how good you are. I don't drive very many RC cars at all so I must practice a lot more. Lastly save time if you know how to do something already don't watch a video on it!!!!!
Imagine being a youtuber who aims to help people in the community who throws a fit and insults people anytime they share advice on his videos... pretty pathetic if you ask me. No they shouldnt "go make their own videos if theyre so smart" theyre here informing people of ways to improve upon a design... WHQT COMMENTS ARE FOR... dont like it? Stop making videos
I see you've stopped making videos, I guess you don't have time with all the comments you make..... Anyone adds value to a post I thank them, anyone sitting in an armchair who's never made a video yet is full of advice? Value add comments we and others like, mindless rants from people sat in armchairs who know better but have never made a video? less so.......

Great idea Richie!! Seeing your daughter filming her father was wholesome as heck too! Hope you guys are well buddy. Miss your uploads....😢
Nice design, simple, portable, multiple angles. And you can store it with minimal volume. Perfect. I am going to build this tomorrow!
This is what I did and it’s been a great distance jumper . Same exact build . I used steel strapping with the holes for adjusting and standing it up
That is a clever design... and I just so happen to have everything to build it in my garage! Thanks for posting this video.
Perfect going to build this tomorrow or some time this week.
Thanks for posting this video. The information is excellent! A friend and me just picked up a couple Arrma Big Rocks and we're ready to launch them!
Nice setup! I would of put the eyelets on the sides (edge) of the boards and run the chain on the side also. this would allow your jump to fold flat.
fierodough thinking the same thing and easier to adjust as well and would only need it on one side so less parts = less money :)

good point on the traction, thinking abiout it my idea of plastic might be a non starter due to lack of traction when wet. I will brainstorm something

i built a ramp today took over an hour,but this one is very easy and simple,so i will make one of these also..thax
Been trying to come up with a Portable ramp idea and stumbled on this. Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Absolutely a great idea. And I love what Fierodough had to add. I'm going to do it. Thank you.
Driftomaniacs Nice simple build! I am going to build one Today ! Thank You Sir!
I no this is old but I made on this weekend and it cooi as hell thanks 👍
Why not using a long board and a shorter one? So you can get 2 jumping angles on one setup.
good point however that mean it'd be bigger and take up more space in your car. It's not a bad idea at all though. Thxs for the suggestion.
Great, helpful video. Thank you!
Great ideal sir
The base edge should be cut at least at 90 degrees for a softer entrance. I'm gonna use rope instead of chain.good idea.. thank you
ver cool idea. think something like this but with a carabiner on one end of the chain that can be used w/ all the different lengths of chain?
Really nice job man,
Great video , I wonder if changing up the boards would allow for different types of jumps , maybe a barrel roll ?
oh dont go giving us ideas. Now I'm sat here looking at the stream in the creek thinking 'james bond barrel roll over river'
Driftomaniacs yes , sounds like a perfect video ,lol

Omg thank you so much I need this so bad for my ford raptor 2017 by traxxas. I REALY think you should get a traxxas slash.
Oh yeah the slash would love this. I've been toying with buying one for over a year now, but then something new and shiny comes out and I change my mind
RCmaniac 4545 lucky, you have the 2017 raptor (I have the old raptor slash model) plus a pink slash because why not
Awesome love this.
Great info. I was looking at ramps and the cheapest one is like $30+ for a damn piece of plastic. I'll do this instead. Thanks! I'm going to need something bigger though because I have a Kraton 6s and an Xmaxx 8s coming soon 😂
I built this ramp and am having issues with my eye screws bending and then breaking.
It's good! but it does not folded completely. How about chain location move to side?
Let's go
I used a grinder to cut off ends
I'm going to go make one
This video should be named how to bend rc truck shocks
ouch! Didn't go well then?
Haha no not exactly all the ramp needs however is a transition piece from the ground to jump there also might have been some operator error too ;)
I want one for my petrol rc car
Great. But I think one chain would suffice for the width of that ramp. 4' width I would use 2.
Indeed it's the principle behind it I hope came out okay, I'm going to build a double width one as hitting this fast with the arrmas is a non starter!
Would just build another 2x2 ramp and go side by side. Same portability and double the width
you just did a face reveal :]
ah! but am I the small cute kid in the bathing costume?? : -)
hrm no those hands don't match the body ;)
How to wreck ur car
Good effort though
I did point out the crashes were deliberate....seriously they were!
I usd 2 chains
Ok I see you did
no worries, hope it's working out well
