Portable Ramp Build

[RandomMistakes]

I usually drive my RC at a nearby grass field that I walk to with my 4 year old. With that in mind, I set out to build a lightweight and convenient to carry ramp.

This one is made out of 2x1 pine and corrugated plastic sheeting. It's 40" long. 30" wide, and folds in half for briefcase style carrying. The legs all fold up within itself kind of like a folding table. The top is coated in truck bed liner for grip.

It worked pretty well once I finished it yesterday. It's only a 30 degree angle, so I couldn't get any backflips off my 2s battery. I might increase the leg length to up the angle a bit.

Great idea! Also, good that you’re indoctrinating RC into your kid at such a young age. And yo…

"convenient to carry" is always challenge when it comes to ramps. You did a real good job on that

I love it. Would be great even just for storage sake at home. I think I might seriously want to recreate what you’ve done.

Very nice. How thick is the plastic sheeting, and where did you get it?

Very nice. How thick is the plastic sheeting, and where did you get it?

It's only like 3/16" thick from Michael's craft store for $7 total. Probably would want to double up for 1/8 scale but more than strong enough for 1/10 scale launching so far.

Let me know if you need the plans or parts list.

Nice build, great that it folds up for transport.

 

[GromeLeon]

Very nice build !
Recently tried once to build one from cardboard, but it was wide enough, nor big enough
Will have to make one as yours too !

Looks like you do some woodworking projects and this one came out great. Welcome to the forum.
