backyard rc track

Over 11 years, Duane, his brother, Tom Kent, and friends converted the back portion of his five-acre property on McCallister Road in Battle Creekintoan RC racetrack, dubbed "Dirt Devils RC Speedway." There, they race multiple classes of the remote- or radio-controlled cars eachSaturday, a grass-roots effort to share the hobby they love.

"Rubbin' is racing. And we do a little rubbing, " Tom said."It's something to do. It's a hobby to meet other people, it's challenging and it's something to have fun."

The track is open to anyone interested in racing on Saturdays, provided they first contact the Dirt Devils Facebook page. There are no fees or monetary prizes, although donations are accepted to help offset maintenance costs.

"I wanted to be more competitive. The more competitive you want to be, the more stuff you want to buy, " said Tom, who owns 10 RC cars. "Some cars you put the battery in, turn on the on switch and you're racing."

Duane hopes more people pick up the hobby. And he welcomes novice and professional drivers alike to see what they can do on his track.

"I have really kept it small because I don't want to create any problems for my neighbors, " he said."Eventually we'll get to the point where I'm going to hold some big races."If you have a r/c(remote control) truck, but no where fun to drive it. Here is how I made a very simple backyard track that you can do too.

Dirt/Sand - Depends on your track base. I bought a few bags then found a friend doing construction that gave me a truck load of dirt.

Hopefully you have a nice flat spot with no weeds, rocks and trees in the way. I started with the picture above and it took a while to clear out. Fortunately I had cleared most of it for anther project(Backyard roller coaster) but that didn't work out.

Measure and map out the course you want. Here is a Google link to give you some good ideas. I started small for my son's track, but we already have plans to expand.

Depending on your site you will need to remove grass, weeds, roots etc and rake it smooth. I add sand to my soil to make it lighter and have better drainage.

Roughly lay out your drainage pipe and 4x4's in the corners. Stake down the pipe and wood as you go. I recommend at least a foot of rebar for each stake. Also depending on the car size and how many cars you want to race. I would recommend at least 5 feet width on your track. This seemed like a good size for 1/16 scale and a few cars racing. My banked turns are only two and three 4x4's high but that is up to you.

My kids wanted a special short cut, so we used half a plastic barrel for a tunnel and a small dirt jump back onto the course. It's your track so you can do whatever you want.

Every race track needs a name and sign. You can make one with coroboard, pvc and a sharpie. Simply print out your text on paper. Cut out and trace it onto your sign. Then fill in with sharpie. Attach the sign to some Pvc with zip ties. It may not last through a hurricane, but it adds a nice touch.
