Building Our Indoor Rock Crawler Course in 1/24th Scale
ฝัง

- We made this entire RC rock crawler course out of things we gathered. Most of this was made with materials we already had on hand. The items that we purchased were the 36”x80”hollow core door from our trusty Home Depot, the plaster tape, the realistic water from Woodland Scenes, and the moss rocks were all purchased from Amazon. I bought the Mod Podge from Michaels and the rest I already had.
We wanted something that would be lightweight so we could move it outside or onto our massive island. All of the bridges are removable and can be changed out if we decide to switch up obstacles.
I personally decided to not use spray foam or spay paint because in the FL heat I did not want to work in my garage. I also think that unless you carve the spray foam it ends up looking like dog poop and I decided against spray paint for two reasons, #1 Is because of the cost and I knew that I needed several colors, and #2 was because I could add more detailed painting it by hand.

All I can say is...AMAZING...BEAUTIFUL....WORK OF ART....MASTERPIECE! I guess that is a lot. Great work and giving me so many ideas for the expansion of my indoor course. You and your hubby are true artists. I am inspired by you. Thank you very much!
Truly humbled by that, thank you! I’m glad that we can inspire others to be creative they way others have inspired us.
Very creative looks like there's an artist in the house I wish I had the room
I love that! Yes, I’ve painted for years and now I have a new canvas. Thanks for stopping by, Jan
One of the best I've seen so far great job!
Wow! Thank you!
I grab rocks from that hood for my courses.simplicity is joy
Yes, once you get the hang of building these courses, you can literally find usable materials and almost anything. We love trying to figure out new things that we can use and like many others have said 90% of these items can be found for free.
These are great little toys for the kids , good video
@@Roberttttttttt we appreciate the support
Excellent crawler course and build vid. Hope to see the crawlers in action on the course soon. Glad to see the youtube algorithm recommended this....hopefully more in the crawler community will see it as well.
You’re welcome. Getting ready to post a vid with our new SCX24 line up on the course along with planning a brand new build inspired by Alaska’s National Parks. Thanks for watching!
awsome job and great video👌✌👍
subded👍💪
Thanks for the sub!
BRAVISSIMO!!! Love your work.
Thank you, we appreciate the support.
Nice! Definitely one of the more detailed courses I've seen on TH-cam. Loving doing the crawler thing myself. Have fun.
We appreciate that! We love not only building these awesome tiny courses but challenging ourselves to continually modify what we already have. Wait to see what we have planned.
Can’t wait to get my wife into sharing this hobby with me! I recently got a TRX4 2021 bronco and she’s already suggesting little things here and there like “it would be cute to have an interior” and she bought me a second battery. Now I just got to have her drive it with me and get her one too!
After we move I really want to get a SCX24 and build an indoor course like this for the winter. This looks awesome you guys did a really good job!
Hi, Janet here with Dirty South Crawlers. I would love to see more ladies enjoy this hobby. My hubby bought me the 21 Bronco too and I love that truck. I now have the 1/24th C10 and the Jeep. My husband gave me the idea for this course and then let me run wild with it. Be sure to subscribe and show your wife. Maybe she too will get inspired.
Wow, thanks for the inpiration, help, andtechniques. I'm actually blown away. We've been playing around with this idea and researching but never found such a detailed video about it. Thanks a lot for your effort on this. the course came out fantastic and breath taking!!
Thank you! We really appreciate that so many members of the RC community love our indoor crawler course. It was definitely a major undertaking, but we loved doing it and already making plans to make a new one.
So cool seeing waist turned into crawling art piece. Nicely done feeling inspired.
Absolutely we have tons of odds and ends laying around the house from random projects, it’s nice to finally use it.
This is truly a labor of love - awesome work
Much appreciated 👍🏼
Wow! That is truly an exceptional artistic achievement!
Thank you! We appreciate that.

This is amazing, love the attention to detail !
Thank you. We just dropped a new video on the details of a general store we just added. Come check it out!
Amazing work! Wish I could create something coming even close to something like this. Not with my lack of modeling skills I’m afraid 😢
I promise…you can do it. Check out our diorama build for USTE I have tons of how to videos. It’s easy and fairly inexpensive.
Great talent 👏
Thank you 👍🏼

@@Dirty_SouthCrawlers new sub. from Italy!
Looks sweet awsome job!
Thank you. We already have another course planned
Using a Filler Primer (sold at hardware & automotive stores) will fill in the holes on the plaster. That aside, this is gorgeous.
Thanks for the input we’ll have to try that on our next course
Good job! Thank you for good video!
You’re so very welcome
Excellent work 👍 Amazing course 😉👍
Thanks! Gotta get the family out and do our first competition

@@Dirty_SouthCrawlers I definitely will ! I'm getting into the 1/24 scene, probably gonna go with a SCX24 Gladiator
@@royaltybuiltco that’s the next purchase for us. Currently working on our Deadbolt
Nice!
Thank you
How long it takes you to clean up your home of all the styrofoam? Any way that looks great congratulations great video thanks.
Actually it wasn’t too bad we used a high density Styrofoam and it cut like butter with a knife with minimal mess. I know that some of the cheaper Styrofoam can leave a ton of mess but this one didn’t.
I have the same wheels & also left out the inside screws lol. A shame they didn’t account for a slightly bigger nut driver
Agreeded!
Freakin art work!!
Thank you, tons of work but worth the effort.
Wow, you did a great job.
How wide and long is it?
I really need to get started on mine, thinking of trying to make it a modular so it'll be easy to store.
This course was made out of a 36x80” hollow core door. It’s sure lightweight and we can move it out of our RC room onto our large kitchen island when a large group of us are playing. All of the bridges are removable and so is the covered bridge. We did that so that we can build brand new bridges and different obstacles when we get bored.
When will you be opening up your track to the public and start hosting events ??
Trust us we wish we could do that. This is just our household course in a guest room.
The signs with .0004 😂😂
Glad you noticed… took a bit of time to figure out the conversion but we think it was worth it. 😂
Nice work very creative, love the 1/24 scale crawlers👍 new Subscriber☺️ I just got out my C10 also💪 stop by.
We love these little guys, we have a few 1/10th as well but these are pretty awesome to not only run, but mod out and build courses for.
I have a full 1/24 course in my backyard, if you're ever in NW FL. Let me know!
That’s awesome!!!
So bad ass!!!
