For the first time...

[Dr. Kustom]

Few weeks ago, my computer had been crushed, so I couldn't go online for a month. One day, I finally decided to make something new for the first time; a off-road course. This is my first time making stuff like this, I know it's not the best, but I'm very happy with the result. Here's the pics, hope you enjoy it.

wow nice off road course :)whats inside that car?

[Dr. Kustom]

Thanks, that is only a stock Mini-Z OverLand.

[xmodkidd33]

Looks awesome, pictures are big though. :o

Are you planning on adding more to this, such as some rocks in the water or something?

[Dr. Kustom]

Thanks, I'm not planning on adding rock in the water, because I don't want the rock to damage the bag which hold the water, everything have been waterproof with loads of clear coat. But I do planing on making this course bigger.

Lol at first i saw the water and i thought it was deeper...

Then when i saw the pic with the car in the water, i thought it was riding on top of the water. Like it was ice or something. Thenvi finally realized that the water was like a cm deep...

[Dr. Kustom]

I know it doesn't really look that deep, and if I put more water in it, then the stock overland won't be able to handle it.

[Donziikid]

Looks very sharp. Nice work. :)

[jabari]

Good looking course you got there.

If you can, and want, get a video of it going through it.

[Dr. Kustom]

I'll post some pics with more water in it, and try to get a video of it.

[imnotmikal]

Nice!
The pics aren't too big. I don't think...

If you don't mind me asking, how much was that Overland?

[Dr. Kustom]

I ordered it from AM for $140.

[meme405]

I ordered it from AM for $140.

Worth it right...but you can still get them much cheaper...

[mini-z drift]

W000T!!! MINI-Z. Although its gonna be a pain in the butt for the expensive parts, its worth it. Those little guys are so fun to drive. Have fun with it!:D

[TheXmodifyer]

That looks awesome. Throw some dirt in the water to make mud.

[greekone]

Nice track and you could find a new OL for about $130 or sometimes less.I picked mine up for $112 shipped.

[Dr. Kustom]

Thanks for the comments guys, I took some pics with more water in it, also a video of the overland driving through it.

I would be careful with too much wheel-spin. Too much wheel-spin will throw that water right onto your EP and cause it to short if it reaches down past the EP covers.

However, that is a pretty sweet course and you've taken some good pictures of your Xmod and MiniZ in it. Kudos. :bigwink:

[noturday]

very nice overland xmod4life, its interesting to me how the overland even gets traction on that slippery black plastic, especially in the water, since it's only RWD. awesome job on the track too, keep us posted when you build it bigger :D

[fieldfairy2]

wow very nice. I like it. Drive that micro t through it yet?(it is in the background of the first pic in the post with the video, i believe so). Floor it through the water. I want to see the final product.

[texan_idiot25]

That's a really well done track. For rocks, just grab a small bag of pebbles form PetCo or some place. They won't rip the bags.

[Dr. Kustom]

I know the rock will make it more realism, but the problem is that i have lay down loads of clear coat on bag to protect it from the weather. Anyway, I'm plan on making this course bigger, but haven't have any good ideas so far, if any of you have any ideas, feel free to share it, thanks.

[jabari]

Ideas:
1. Make a course ith a unch of speedbump through it.
2. Some grass.
3. Bury some rocks to the point that they just stick out a little.

That's all I can think of. Hope it helped.

[black_g35]

that is a awsome cource... is there anyway you could make a thing showing how to make one ?
