Dream bash ramp -
11-08-2005, 09:04 PM
I'm going to build a new ramp soon and was wanting to get some opinions from you guys on what you would like to see. The new one at the bash was awsome, would there be anything you'd like to see different or improved upon? I'm offering this out to everyone because it seems to get the most use at the bashes.
Give me your ideal specs. Height, angle, etc.

@) FOOT RAMP!!!!!! ha i tried to capitalize 20...im not the smartest kid at the spelling bee. idk make some like 2 jumps next to eachother like side by side that one would be a launch ramp and one would be a like quarter pipe setup almost. then like make it so u can attach em side by side for fun and attach them like the other way so u can like backflip off of the quarter pipe onto the angled ramp...i thought it would be cool if u get wut im saying.

we had to think about storage and transport for that ramp.
in the november issue of rc nitro mag. there is a simple but great ramp. they launched a buggy over a 2 lane highway and over a truck. Chicago Local 281, protecting lives and property for over 100 years. Lawn sprinklers save your grass, Fire sprinklers save your a$$

Yeah, the RC Nitro ramp is kinda what I was thinking of height wise...that one looked adjustable.

it depends on it you want to go for height or distance, the steeper the angle the longer you will be in the air, so you can do more tricks, but you dont wanna go straight up lol

My thoughts are steep but with a smooth, gradual transition. That way you can go big with out the shock of hitting a 45 deg. angle straightaway.
Firesprink, how tall was your ramp?

something wider so tune cant miss it if he puts a wing back on his truck LOL JK. Just something easy going is a good jump. You dont always need huge air but that does help.

I vote for wider and maybe longer/higher. I know it gets hard to transport but maybe you could rig something with a hinge and a support of some kind. I don't know. I can visualize it but cant explain it...

Ditto on wider.
Longer, more gradual lead-in, maybe detachable for transport? Adjustable angle (think about the way a pool deck chair works). Traction surface?
