Is it crazy to think how many people you helped by making this video? It's 3 years later and people are still commenting that they made this ramp. And I'm the latest one- just wrapped up working on it with my son. Bout to have some fun w our rustler and new Maxx today- thank you!!
@@timsgta Not at the size of my ramp. You will have to shorten it. You can see in the video where I add a small strip at the top. Keep in mind if you shorten it, you will bottom out on the ramp and could even punch holes in it with your chassis. I know because I have done it on shorter ramps.
Great video, thanks for the plans, what a difference 15 degrees made, but I'm gonna do the 45 first, maybe 30 later...So helpful, and awesome place you have there, looks like all fun out there!!!!! 💯
Thank you for the video. Planning to make a ramp but never done anything like this before. was going to fudge it until youtube recommended this video to me. watching your process made it much easier to plan for and you gave me much better ideas than what i had been thinking.
I wanted to do this on the weekend and your video was perfect help. As an engineer, when i saw your graph paper i was so excited to find out what the actual curve was. But then when you did it with a flexible bar that was SOOO much easier and practical. Got mine up and running in an afternoon and couldn't be happier.
Gonna start building wood ramp next weekend. We have 1/14th scale truggies and ramps from boxes aren't holding up & have no kick up/lift. Nice! 1 for height, another for distance! I'll try 40° angle to achieve best mix 👍🏾
Just got back into RC cars after a 10 year absence and I love all your videos. Just picked up an E-Revo 2.0 too. Mostly wanted to comment on your Classic Mustang, looks awesome as I have a 1966 🤙🏾
That's awesome! I wish I had more time to work on that Mustang. I've had it for a while. It seems every time I get ready to work on it, something comes up.
Boy, ever time I watch this video it gives me goosebumps seeing you operate the table saw free hand and cutting with gloves near the blade. Nice content though.
Nice i did one just like it turned out great i did add indoor outdoor carpet to mine cost me around 90bucks in lumber at todays prices i already had the carpet ,THANKS SO MUCH you do a great job with your channel bro !!!!
Thank you! I noticed you're in at least one of the E-Revo groups I'm reading on FB. Unless you feel like there should be changes to your design here, I think I'd like to copy exactly what you've done.
We have used these ramps a lot and they are solid. I can't decide where I like the wheels mounted at better. I have them mounted differently on both ramps and I don't think it matters. The 45 degree ramp is good for a lot of air at low speeds. It's good for practicing flips and such with out sending the E Revo 60 feet across the yard. The 30 degree is fun for casual jumps. You can still do flips and such off of it but you need a bit more speed than you do on the 45. If I were only going to build one ramp, I think I'd make a 35 degree ramp.
Interesting. Thank you. At first I was afraid of the 45 degree ramp because you hit it pretty hard. I have a couple other channels I look at and slow 45 degrees looks fun and manageable for learning trigger control. otoh, I even told my dad that I thought I should build your 30 degree just to play safe. Get some long jumps I can handle under my belt. My property though isn't big enough to do long shots but can accommodate slower stuff. I even roll up oak trees lately and land backflips as my first repeatable trick. lol Anyway, a 35-40 degree may be my sweet spot. Gonna do it maybe this Independence Day / week and my final angle and ratio will end up last minute but right where you've directed me either way. We have a Harbor Freight within 4 miles and casters for easy mobility will happen. I plan to take photos and put up on the FB group. Thanks for the inspiration. Once I get the limiting strap mod in place also next week, I'll be fearless. ;-)
I have spent many hours watching your videos in the last couple years since I decided to get into RC cars. I was excited to find that you had made a video on how to build jumps. One of my grandsons wants me to build one. He’s 5 and loves RC cars and sending high into the air. 😊 I’m just curious which jump you prefer to use? 30 or 45 degree. Also, Have you thought about transitioning from a drill to an impact driver for setting your screws? I’d let you try one of mine if you lived close enough. 😄 Also, I love that mustang sitting in the background in your shop! Thanks for the great and helpful videos you put out!
ive been watching youre videos man you cool dude all the way around man i just received my e revo and i have to agree i love it i just love it man. keep running rc keep making cool vids
You're not far wrong. My kids and I are going to start working on one tomorrow for our local RC park. 1/2" plywood is $20 each. 2x4 are $10. We're also going to paint it with a textured paint for traction.
Yeah its much easier on the RC's. The 45 has special plans. Its also easier to pull off tricks with the 45 without having to get a lot of speed. Just a little bit will get the RC way in the air.
I built one. Such a smooth and predictable ramp to jump. Makes it easy to learn on. No joke tho, there's big air to be had too. Thanks for the upload...
Hey, I'm looking to build one of these ramps, they seem so great. Although, I do have a question. How thick is the plywood that you used for the curved part of the ramp. I don't know exactly what plywood to use that will bend, but not snap.
I think I might have to attempt this. Was going to grab a plastic one on Amazon but the width is not so good. Two would work but it would cost about 100 bucks. I am not so good at carpentry though. Also would need tools. Decisions to be made lol.
One of the biggest problems I see with people jumping is hitting the ramp. I think a 4 foot ramp is too small sometimes. Honestly, the only tools you really need are a jigsaw, a hand saw, and either a hammer or a drill of some kind. Ask around. I'm sure someone you know would loan you the tools. You may even be able to rent them from somewhere.
Micron RC hey brotha u know u can add comments to ur first comment so u don’t have to leave 15 messages, 😂 good to see u brotha, got the M-05 done today but probably will wait till tamiya Tuesday to post it, might post on Facebook
Any reason you went with multiple straight sheets instead of a single piece angled across the entire length? I actually prefer the way you did it, but curious why or how you made that decision. Thanks.
The thinner sheets are less expensive, easier and less expensive to replace, easier to bend to the curve, and I double them up because the chassis will punch holes through it if you hit it fast enough. I have done it.
Great video, thanks for sharing! What do you call that metal rod you used at 4:20 to draw the curve? I went down to the hardware store today but I couldn't find anything like it.
Thanks! It depends on the RC I'm driving and what I am doing. I think I use the 30 degree more often because I like those long and fast jumps over the higher jumps. Normally I dont hit the 45 very fast. I use it for flips and such.
Its the E Revo 2.0 in the video, but I also run the V1 and the 1/16th E Revo also. The E Revo 2.0 is holding up great. Since I put the limiting straps and swapped out the servos, the only issues I've had have been a couple of push rods and one tie rod end. This is the most durable RC I have ever ran. Its crazy.
Hi and ty for this video I’m building a ramp just like urs my question is should I go with a 45 degree 35 degree or a 30 degree slope don’t want to send it to the moon but want some height and distance a happy medium u can say ty
Thanks for this vid!! Just built my first ramp yesterday and it turned out really good thanks to you. I made a 35 degree ramp and its really smooth and makes my typhon fly really well. I reckon my top height was about 25 feet and top distance was about 35-40 feet, i need to get one of those distance laser gun. And thats with only like 20 feet of runway lol. Edit: Did you try your Typhon on those ramp? Have you tried doing backflips with it? I havent tried yet, i still need more pratice. Im not even sure if its possible but i might try that truggification mod on it and make it more e-revo/tallion like.
I'm glad the video helped you. Yes I send my Typhon off this ramp. I do back flips with the Typhon on my 45 degree ramp. It needs a lot of air to fully rotate.
@@brianstill8954 It has a different engine and transmission than what came in it. It has a 302 and a C4 trans but they are not original, even though that is what it came with.
I'm looking at building this ramp as an after school project with my boys. I plan to take it to our local RC Park and leave it there (I got the OK to do so) so people can enjoy it. Would you recommend some sort of weather proofing, and if so what?
That thing could handle a dirt bike lmao 😂 but it should definitely last. I wanna make a simple version of this shape and lighten everything up alot so I can transport it. And the side and cross supports need to be removable easily. We'll see how it turns out lol
@@outsourcedrc wow that's crazy. That takes so force. i doubt I'll be hitting it very fast and it's just gonna be a kraton and maxxv2 hitting it so we'll see how it holds up. I might have to beef it up. I got it built today but no time to test it yet. 😔 But I'm only using thin luan. About as thick as paneling for the deck 🤞
You probably found a solution but if you see that triangle carpenter ruler thing he has (I think called speed square) it actually has numbers across it that show what angle a straight line from the corner would make..
So you can put the bottom corner where you want the angle to start, then put a mark where the number of angle you want a.c. Make a straight line between the points.
Dude I’ve been using a straight ramp about 2 feet long and wondered why the back end of my car kept rocketing up when I’d try to jump... turns out the back wheels only hit the ramp for like 1 frame in my slow motion test 😂 definitely gonna need to make a curved ramp your jumps are always beautiful

😅I’m watching it five years later now lol
Well here I am in 2024 5 year later and this video is really helpful
5 year now
Came for the ramp, want to know more about that ‘69 Fastback.
everyone does lol. One day I'll show it to you guys. I'm almost at the point to where I can start back working on it.
I used this video to build my own ramp for my E-Revo out of scrap wood I had laying around- thanks for making it easy!!!
thats awesome! I'm glad it helped you!
How big were the sheets of plywood you bought?
@@timsgta They all come in 4x8, 4x4, or 4x2 feet.
@@outsourcedrc so are 4x4 sheets sufficient for the 45 angles? I'm just trying not to overbuy if I can help it...
@@timsgta Not at the size of my ramp. You will have to shorten it. You can see in the video where I add a small strip at the top. Keep in mind if you shorten it, you will bottom out on the ramp and could even punch holes in it with your chassis. I know because I have done it on shorter ramps.
Yup... 4 years later and youre still helping people.. Good Job!

gorgeous mustang my friend
Thanks! Wait, which one?
This works so well! I made one like your smaller one with some extras and it works great! Now I need an E-Revo 2.0

Great. Thanks for sharing 👍
Sweet ramp = Sweet jumps
Very awesome! This will definitely help me build a ramp for my husband for Gather’s Day!
Great video thanks for sharing...
Wow, you live in a nice place.
I’ve had that Ryobi jig saw for years and it’s a good one . ☝️👍
That thing is getting air!!!! Haha this is bad ass! You totally inspired me to build a ramp to launch my trucks.
Build you one!
Thanks for a nice idea and instructional video. I will be building one of these as soon as I can get to home depot to pick up the materials.
Thats awesome! They are great ramps
Great job!
What an awesome work! That at 4:20 was genious! Greetings from Germany!
Never watched a ramp build before. That is pretty slick.
Gonna start building wood ramp next weekend. We have 1/14th scale truggies and ramps from boxes aren't holding up & have no kick up/lift. Nice! 1 for height, another for distance! I'll try 40° angle to achieve best mix 👍🏾

Sweet ramp man and thanks for sharing brother!
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together
Thank you!
Great tutorial! I appreciate you explaining every detail! Cleeean ramp!
Thanks!
About to build my first ramp tomorrow and this is the best video I found can't wait haha
Just completed my ramp after watching your video. Haven't used it yet but it looks awesome.
I built one today! Thanks for the tutorial. Mine is not as well done as yours but it sure does SEND IT!

They actually take about an hour to put one together.
Boy, ever time I watch this video it gives me goosebumps seeing you operate the table saw free hand and cutting with gloves near the blade. Nice content though.
It's because I used to be a sheet metal worker. You had to wear gloves all the time.
that is so sick so perfect so fun looking u made it look so easy. wickid awsome
Thanks!
Awesome! I'm going to build one! Thanks!
Nice work!
Thanks!
Nice i did one just like it turned out great i did add indoor outdoor carpet to mine cost me around 90bucks in lumber at todays prices i already had the carpet ,THANKS SO MUCH you do a great job with your channel bro !!!!
Thank you! I hope it lasts you a long time!
Nice work! Thanks for the instruction. I've been watching vids and reading because I'm ready to build my own family of ramps for my E-R 2.0

Love your car btw
Ha. Thanks! Wait, which one? I have two Mustangs.
Thanks for the tutorial. We built the 30 degree ramp and it’s nice.
I hope you guys have a blast on it
Nice place u have there..👍
Thanks!
Check out some of my videos..👍
Thanks for the tutorial. I will build one soon
It’s been a great ramp!
That chassis slap.
I made myself a 45 degree ramp inspired by this tutorial 👍🏼👍🏼 Greetings from The wonderful city of Rotterdam in The Netherlands 😎

Thanks so much.
Cheers buddy. Really helpful. 🍻
Totally tubular man!!!
A fun project in 2019
A bank loan in 2021
Right? Its a $300 ramp now lol
You're not far wrong. My kids and I are going to start working on one tomorrow for our local RC park. 1/2" plywood is $20 each. 2x4 are $10. We're also going to paint it with a textured paint for traction.
Red guard works good for a waterproof membrane and it’s kinda grippy . Comes in everyone’s favorite color , red 😂
Use a pvc pipe towels get your angle that works just aswell
Nice one love the 30 degree one not so harse on the RC :)
Yeah its much easier on the RC's. The 45 has special plans. Its also easier to pull off tricks with the 45 without having to get a lot of speed. Just a little bit will get the RC way in the air.
The 30 degree is probably worse tbh because you have much less air time to correct.
If you put carpet on the top would that help the car get traction and protect the ramp?
Yes. I dont know about protecting the ramp. but it helps with traction.
I built one. Such a smooth and predictable ramp to jump. Makes it easy to learn on. No joke tho, there's big air to be had too. Thanks for the upload...
Stumbled across your video excellent job I’m about to build one myself thanks for your expert worl🔥✌🏽👊🏾
No problem! welcome to the channel
very intuitive thank you.
Thx it was very helpful. Love ur stuff.
Built a portable 4x2 version. Works great! Really enjoying your videos. Keep it up
Thanks!
Same as a skateboard ramp. good job
Pretty much. I'd make a skateboard ramp more stable.
Sweet vid...!!!💯💪🏾😎😏👍🏾
great video man, very helpful and the ramps are amazing.
Thanks!
Great video, I had to watch it a bunch though lol short term memory I guess (maybe in future vids list the materials) thanks, cheers 👊🏼

RC Propaganda oh ya I also sent u my address about the stickers, gotta email me urs so I can send u mine too
Awesome!
Great build video and nice ramp just to wide for storage for me Might build one half as wide
You should try a pilot bit with a counter sink.
Not for something like this. I do on my nice wood projects. The wood is soft enough for the screws to sink in.
Micron RC hey brotha u know u can add comments to ur first comment so u don’t have to leave 15 messages, 😂 good to see u brotha, got the M-05 done today but probably will wait till tamiya Tuesday to post it, might post on Facebook
Predrilling those holes would have made assembly go MUCH faster.

good job mate, any portable ramp ?
Nope. I just load these in my trucks and take them like that.
Great video, thanks for sharing! What do you call that metal rod you used at 4:20 to draw the curve? I went down to the hardware store today but I couldn't find anything like it.
Thanks! I have no idea what it is. Home Depot has a rack of them in the isle with the screws and rope. Its with the square aluminum rods and such.
Thanks so much for the great video and details it really helped me a lot!!!
Thats awesome!
Great video! Between the 45 and 30, which did you end up using more often and why?
Thanks! It depends on the RC I'm driving and what I am doing. I think I use the 30 degree more often because I like those long and fast jumps over the higher jumps. Normally I dont hit the 45 very fast. I use it for flips and such.

Nice tutorial! Thanks for sharing this.
Which Revo? Good explanation on the ramp. Just curious how the RC is holding up?
Its the E Revo 2.0 in the video, but I also run the V1 and the 1/16th E Revo also.
The E Revo 2.0 is holding up great. Since I put the limiting straps and swapped out the servos, the only issues I've had have been a couple of push rods and one tie rod end. This is the most durable RC I have ever ran. Its crazy.
@@daveyoneslimobi4525 NO, but they are totally different RC's
I build my ramp off this video man thanks again
You are welcome! They have been great for me!
Should make an adjustable one where you can change the angle at end.
Great
What wood did you use for ramp surface?
Cool ramp bro, ima make one too 😎🖒

35 would probably be good. 30 is too low for most RC's do to stunts and flips off of unless it really spins fast.
