Very cool!

What material did you use for the launch pad/flat part? This winter I am going to attempt to build something very similar to yours. Want it light and portable.

Is the jump angle adjustable?

Great job man! Ramps like this make bashing so much fun as you can basically take the ramp and set up anywhere!

Love it. I need to get off my butt and build a good long term ramp! Your thread may have just inspired me to do so.

I guess I'm off to troll around for ideas!

Adjustable didnt had the patience anymore so Not at this moment...yet

Wanna use the 3 support legs and move them backwards a bit. so just a few more holes to drill in the lowet bars. Or put smaller support legs. But that's extra parts so I'll go for the extra holes

Ramp made of
Aluminium frame small kokers
flexible plastic plate 2mm thick. Plexiglass or something. End used popnales like in the aircraft industry to. ( work in a factory whare we build containers for aircrafts ) to nail the plate on the kokers.



Safety walk strips for antislip

Looks like it will do nicely!

I made it using wood i had laying around. Made it in 2 sections so i can just use the bottom half so the car goes further and lower or clamp it together if i want height. Put a peice of wood on hinges at the bottom to smooth out the ground to ramp transition. Its surprisingly light weight.

[carckton driver]

i have no idea how much it weighs but i can easily carry it around

Awesome Ill try to finish it later this week and with some better pictures but that wooden ramp is crazy would love to launch my cars from that

Bro.... do you have to put a space suit on your $h!t before you launch off that beast?

44cm = 17 inch my first fotos

34cm = 13 inch so its adjustable now, I think

Welded the top bars, not the bottom wanted to keep the flexibility on the ground when adjusting the height.
Test drive tomorrow

Loving your design! You're giving me ideas! I know the temptation of putting the grip tape on the surface, but personally I wouldn't do so. When your rig hits the ramp it will inevitably bottom out & the 1st parts to hit will get abraded down like ya put a belt sander on em. Your tires will have enough traction if you carry enough speed on the approach to the front. If you're accelerating hard or steering hard, for that matter, on the ramp it's too late already, just go around again. Just my opinion tho This has just been my experience w/ jumping, but try not to be hard on throttle when you land either. Tough on equipment- tires, diffs, driveline etc. Here's the 1st one I built, free dumpster build

I think my ramp is the same size as the front half of his!

Well you have a point on the grip tape. It's allready damaged. But with the backflip just a bit of gas when front tire leave the ramp it does help with a bit of grip.
Now I think about it..... its plastic and slippery as hell with mud, sand and water. W'll see how it ends.
Lessons will be learned, first idea and build but I do understand what you are saying and that is a nice first build also. You posted there

Do you know or remember the size of yours
