Best Rc Ramp Options?

[blaze309]

So I'm looking to purchase a ramp that is portable. Currently this is all I've came across

https://www.freshpark.com/products/rc/bmx-jump-302.html

Flaws in this one are that the grating is going to catch everything but a simple solution is to lay a board over it which would also help with the second problem of it not being wide enough for my taste.

Next up we have the Rc Bash Ramp

https://www.rcbashramp.com/shop

Pro's of this one are that it has a better kicker and should give more air then the first one. Downside is that it's still not wide enough so I'd almost need two of them but I'm not willing to pay over $450 for a RC ramp. I've also seen the Russian ramp but it has the same issues as the others plus the long shipping time.

Has anyone came across anything that has a good kicker on it and is portable plus has a 30in width or more? I don't understand why these are being made at just 24in. I would just build a wood one but I need something that folds down or comes apart so it fits in my trunk.

Not sure when it will be available again but have you considered this one?

I might try my hand at building one soon. Probably going to use PVC pipes to keep the weight down.

I have seen that one. However, I've seen quite a few people saying that it doesn't hold up well.

Why not build your own?

Build one like Bean said ^, much cheaper.

I used garbage wood I found on the floor.

This is a very good vid IMO

Due to price increase that wood is now worth $1,000,000 dollars

Both the ramps you listed are only 2 feet wide. In my experience, that's not wide enough. It's difficult to hit with any real speed. Just watch some YouTube videos with those ramps. You'll see people either crawling up to them or if they go fast, they miss the ramp often and can crash badly. If you want portable, I guess that may be a sacrifice you're willing to make, but I think 3 feet wide is minimum.

Killaramp has been getting some good reviews on this forum lately https://www.ebay.com/usr/rc_killaramp?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
He has 2 foot and 3 foot wide versions, and they're foldable, adjustable, portable.

Why not build your own?

Because he wants a ramp that is portable. I did built one, but wooden ramps are heavy and cumbersome.

My ramp is literally a scrap piece of plywood, two extra door hinges I had lying around screwed to some 2x4s. Don’t overthink it.

How thick of plywood?

How thick of plywood?

It’s either 3/8 or 7/16. It’s thick enough to be strong, but still have some curvature to it.
