- Mini Crawlers are a ton of fun, but is it possible to build a DIY course out of junk you have laying around? Yup! On this episode I show you how. My indoor RC crawler course is made from old recycled material and plaster cloth. My plaster cloth mountains are a perfect obstacle for my SCX24 mini crawlers. If i can build one, you can build one.

Oh I so want to make one. My 82 year old father lives with me and I let him drive my micro rigs and it puts a smile on his face every time the problem is the track is out back and it's to hard and dangerous for him to walk all the way out back so I'm going to build this for him in the garage I think that will be perfect. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge it's amazing.
That’s an excellent idea!
I like it have a good week
Thanks for showing your process.
AWESOME JOB 👍👍 I have built one in the past for my SCX24, and I used similar techniques. My new one is going to be built in 4 pieces, and will be able to be put under the bed. Will be able to be taken out, positioned in different places/order, and then slid back under a bed. That way it won't take up space (for people with limited area)...
Yeah….. I made mine too big to fit through a door……. Oops.
Awesome. This got me great ideas. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing how the magic happens!👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾
Oh my!
After watching this me and my son started our course build. We don’t have a lot of room so we built ours in 1’x2’ and 2’x2’ modules and built them in a way that we can rearrange them into a new course. A few things I found to help is a hot glue gun to hold stuff in place and painting it in mod podge before spray painting it makes it stand up to abuse a little better. Great build brother and thanks for the inspiration!!!
Cool good Job, Rit dyes diluted with water dripped in a bunch of different spots with a eye dropper give the rocks shadows that really make them look real.
You could even use some spray adhesive to get some real dirt and small rocks mounted on your surfaces.
It would be nice to have the space to make it.. Love the fact that you use all the crap laying around to make it. Mother Earth is a happy one today.. :) Great job.. :P
Thanks! I’ve seen people make them out of book shelves, or make each obstacle separately, so they can box them up when they’re not being used.
Finally, the video is over, and I can start finding stuff to make my own table. Lol my plan is to make a small table that will fit in my car to take it to friends and share it. Thanks for your insite and the good video.
Your Bob Ross attitude towards this is admirable.
No mistakes. Just happy accidents.
I'm thinking about building a mini crawler table. Stumbled onto this video and I love that concept!! I don't have a huge amount of room and will need to move it around. This is perfect because it's light weight. Thanks bro 🙏🏼
This is awesome. My kids and I have been building tracks out of their wooden train sets, and my rc car bodies. Loads of fun for all! Would love to have the space to make one like this though.
This one is 8x8, but I’d say a pool table sized area would be plenty big.
Lol. I love your crawler table, im inspired
Build one! It’s super easy and a lot of fun.
I absolutely love that it is recycled materials
Really great ideas shared here :) I will try and do similar but for my 1/64th scale Sinclo Y60 micro crawler. I hope my track will be 1/10th the size :D
Can’t wait to see it!
Literally 😊
Awesome dude
Cool idea great video
Yep I gotta build a crawler course now . 🤟 the thing about the cast was hilarious
I'm trying to decide how I'm goin to build a course for my 1/18 crawlers .... I got a 3ftWx6ftL I went to dollar tree and Aldi's for the supplies....that Dollar Tree store is addictive you think you're saving until you reach the register 😅
This video helped me generate ideas on how to paint my course..Thanks For Sharing!
Badass! I've been looking at hundreds of videos trying to figure out the best way to build a course for my wpl-16s and my scx24. And I think you just fully explained it for me! Ty!
Nice! If you’re still on Instagram or FB, I’d love to see what you come up with!
You’re bloody hilarious bro
Awesome course and Thank you for the inspiration! Winter is here and We are in the process of making our own to have fun with. Videos coming soon hope you have a merry xmaxx and happy new year!
Cool build so far
Not bad!
My man went from explaining what plaster is to explaining his whole life story in 2 seconds
I go on tangents sometimes……..
Nice layout...
Actually awesome
Thanks buddy!!!
That's an awesome crawler landscape!! I've been planning to make something much smaller in an old bookcase, but couldn't think how to make it challenging and interesting, and that's given me loads of inspiration!! Cheers. 😁👍🏻
Sweet!! That’s a good idea!
Great job on this crawler track brother 👍 good way to recycle trash that would otherwise end up in bin
Thanks! Gotta do something with all those busch light beer boxes.
Nice to see the crawler table back in action. The videos you did last year is what inspired me to start building one this winter.
Made the table so far (roughly 5 x 11ft) and some wooden modular frames to serve as base for the mountains. Then plan to mold the terrain out of chicken wire and use expanding foam to add details. Atm I'm working on a suspension bridge to install, but it's trickier than I thought. Lot of trail and error in getting the angle just right, so heavier vehicles don't flip over.
Do you have Instagram? I’d love to see it!
sweet course and layout! I am building my own now on a 3'x4' plywood sheet. taking it week by week so I don't rush it and can use it and see what works and doesn't work. for extra grip I sprinkled on some sand from Hobby Lobby and use Loctite spray adhesive to hold it in place and it works wonders.
holy sheet that is awesome looking.. my mind just can't wrap around how to layout a course lol..
This video has me making a course when I get off work hahaha thanks for the inspiration!
Can’t wait to see it!
Great Video!!! you make it look so very simple!!!
If I can do it, anyone can.
Thank you, I'm definitely going to build a realistic crawler course like yours with with my kids. 👍
Excellent! Can’t wait to see the results!
love your videos, the gladiator upgrade video was awesome, love those portal axles, going to order some parts from RCAWD, crawlers are killer. subscribed
That's one awesome indoor course love the concept I've been collecting materials but no mini course yet maybe 🤔 I'll look into getting some of that plaster roll makes it look pretty cool there's so many ways of doing things I like it thank you for ur video it was helpful
Glad you liked it!
Nice parcour and useful painting tips 👍
Thanks so much!
Nice track
Thanks dude
Glad found yo channel just now u seem like the dude id can sesh with 🔥💪
Totally! I’m glad you’re here.
I really like that course. Its great how you built it.
Thanks dude!
Making the course looks more fun than driving it! Love it
Haha. Yeah, it’s fun to build stuff. Start with nothing- end up with something.
Вот это трек!!!! Оболдеть! Спсибо за ваши видео! Вдохновляют к труду )
Looks good! I like the wrapping paper tube bridge, haha!
I wonder if spraying a primer or something thicker over the plaster cloth would get rid of the holes, then you could paint. Heck, the spray bedliner in a can might be thick enough, AND it has texture!
The rock flavoured part almost killed me 😂
Looks killer brother! Im starting my own indoor course around my current work bench, and im using spray foam and rocks. And now im going to go grab some of that plaster cloth
Yeah buddy! I have a small course I run on my channel but I want to build another. I used water bottles and Amazon boxes.
Nice video you put together. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
@@10thScaleGarage Great and thanks very much for replying to my comment. I have a new video out now on the update of my layout plus a special remembrance too.. Hope you like and share.
Cool track mate definitely gives me inspiration to make one. Just need to get some mini crawlers now too.
You can get a good one for like $100. It’s super addicting.
This is perfect im actually saving to get a sxc24
Sweet!
Love it I wish I had the room to build one I have to build each one of them separate play with them one at a time in my living room but hey whatever keeps me still trailing mi-24 during the winter
Mee to... No room over het either
Yeah, I’m freakin lucky. I know tons of people who are building them on top of their pool tables that haven’t been used in like 10 years.
I found your video because I'm looking to build my own crawler table and wanted to find an inexpensive way to do it
Felt the course a little over a year ago ran it for a while and then it sat and it got knocked over I picked it backup and now I'm building on to it like you are and changing some stuff and making more stuff interesting and just getting back into just enjoying the hobby
Excellent! I’d love to see it. Tag me on Instagram!
First time viewer. Great work and suggestions. Loved the broken arm tangent as well!
My wife and I got SCX24s for Christmas (hmm SCX sounds kinda like sex. Maybe they should have used SCX24-7? Lol). Anyway, I love the little buggers! So fun, compact and crawl anywhere convenient. I'm thinking small scale will make up the majority of my crawler "fleet" going forward.
They’re super fun!
Very interesting idea 💪🏾💯
Thanks! It’s a good time
I’m using a old bar table to build my course. Using foam, bark, weed stems, and whatever else I find
I have the rock that the C10 drives on at 1:30 for my cornsnake lol
Got myself 4- 5 old wooden chairs that I have repaired and restained 3 or 4
times and now are donners for a few ideas on course challenges, mini and 10th scale...
Living in Japan its hard to get into real rock crawling. Thanks for the video!!
Heck yeah, I can't wait to run on it tonight.
I'll probably be the first one to fall off the table 😂
You mean fall off the table this year… it’s happened a bunch.
@@10thScaleGarage yeah this year because I did it twice last year. Haha
awsome im still working on my course
They’ve never really “finished”
I’m watching because I’m thinking about it. I don’t even have a truck yet.
Jeremy was really using his head
I prefer to make the course out of pillow. Easier to setup and once you are getting tired, just sleep on top of them
Hahahaha. I’ve done that before.
What about for outdoor same design to endure outside weather ? Thank you for this
if you’re going outdoors, you might as well make a track with real actual rocks. this track is made to simulate outdoors
Coo vid guy
Thanks
@@10thScaleGarage I had to subscribe after you said something about painting the course all vibrant, something that Kevin Spacey would use 😂
I used Styrofoam and expanding foam on my crawler track......good job looks great
Nice! Are you on Instagram? I’d love to see it.
@@10thScaleGarage im on TH-cam rc addiction qld i have vids there..love your channel...cheers
Great video. I'm watching to build my own course.
One question. I noticed others would hot glue components before applying the plaster tape. After the plaster dries, how sturdy is it?
Do soft spots develop because things weren't glued into position?
The only soft spots are in places where I pulled the plaster tape too tight. The table itself if solid, and the soft spots don’t even really move, even with the heaviest of 24th scale trucks.
How would the plaster cloth hold up to 10th scale crawlers? If you were to build a bigger obstacle.
Might wanna double up
What is the best way to make a table
I have a graveyard of my kids broke down RC cars and trucks. I should just use their broken vehicles to build a track of them are hobby grade but they’re about to be.😂😂😂
Hey buddy 😀. This got me thinking , I wonder how big a mudrunner or snowrunner map would be in 1/24....
Haha. Probably my entire shop
I'm thinking a psychedelic colored course would be sick. Picture Woodstock...mud, hills, and hippies.
“Don’t take the brown acid!”
"It's not poison! Its just not good acid."
Are you by chance related to Adam Savage? Y'all have very similar mannerisms lol
Is this course for 1/18 rigs?
7:49😅😂
my brother and I are making one
Nice!
Ur course is pretty awesome love the new bridge!!!!!!!! I wana add to my indoor natural rock crawling course using that stuff. Maybe a hill climb or something like that. Anyway check out mine I got a few vids OlllllllO
stopr drinking light beer.
You should’ve taken a brush and smoothed out the plaster wrap. Awesome idea otherwise.
I wonder how likely it is that your explanation of a cast actually happened to someone who watched this
That would be crazy
4:14 don't you mean "ballin out of control gangster rapper money"?
Haha. I haven’t released anything in 4 years….. I think I make $15/ year from streaming.
Damnit Jeremy, why you drawing weiners on casts?
For real.
First
Whoop!
Roughly $80 of materials over that trash. Otherwise great video!
Spray paint and plaster cloth? Maybe $80 worth of wood, but nah. The paint was $8 for both cans. The plaster cloth was $12.
@@10thScaleGarage Yeah building materials are crazy marked up now. Ordered online in Canada they would be roughly that much. $30-40 in plaster cloth, $16 spray paints. $10-20 expanded foam. Easily $60 CDN for one obstacle. Paper mache and sanded grout over top would probably be the cheapest. That would cut out the expanding foam and plaster cloth. Outdoor courses can be completely free and easily changed. I prefer them when the weather is agreeable. Winter is coming....
...oh shit christmas is the least of my worriers wife birthday is the 4 my fist child is due the 9 of dec and I'm broke and my 1/1 car s broken and i don't drive none do i have any of my L's lol. so trash is all i have right now lol
Dang! Just remember though…. There’s people that would kill to have your problems. In the grand scheme of things, we’re pretty lucky.
You have round teeth ;)
I've been wanting to get into scale crawling and this has really peaked my interest on it!
I highly recommend it.
Same here. 100% like that.
