My Ramps - north_shore_racer - 09-19-2006 the wood ones were slapped together with some scrap wood from stage crew (building the sets for school plays, so i can use all the wood tools and such to build whatever i want out of the scrap even though im not supposed to) so i slapped together 2 ramps, the smaller one on the left i need to arch a bit, works decently for my mini-t, and would probably be a good landing ramp, the larger wooden ramp i was thinking more for bashes, im working on getting a good bend in that wood, using hot water and bungee cords to hold it bent, hopefully it works. theyre both VERY quickly built, each only taking bout a half an hour including time of just sitting around not actualyl cutting and working. the larger ramp is a little crooked but i realyl dont care, works fine, i might get around to fixin it eventually but it works good enough for me. mind you all this wood is scrap and thats why none of it looks cut to a good size. especially the platform piece. PICTURES! that last pic is the big ramp but tipped forward, sorta gives a different launch angle, not a bunch different but it seems to be a bit more stable. at least before i bend the wood. My Ramps - kevinF - 09-19-2006 yeah maybe a little more than a bit....lol looks nice though My Ramps - Traxxas_Junkee - 09-19-2006 You may want to ad a little bit of a curve to them, but they look nice! My Ramps - north_shore_racer - 09-19-2006 yea, im adding curve by soaking the ramp part in hot water then bungeeing it in place so it is forced to dry in that shape, works pretty good gotta still curve em ALOT the small one im not sure how much i can curve but it still works ok
