RC Car PVC Portable Folding Ramp
Hi Peeps,
I tried to find RC car ramp for my E-Revo 1:16 but unable to find any information on the internet, tried some options like cardboard ramp, it is good for indoors but not so good for outdoors and big jumps, so I decided to build one after several trial and error, and here is the completed ramp that anyone can build under 8 Dollars or less, so let' jump into details
Items Needed to Build the RC Car Portable Ramp
Required materials
4x T Joints
4x 90 Elbows
2x 8.2ft (2.5m) PVC pipe (20mm)
1x 2x3ft Masonite or fiberglass sheet or polycarbonate sheet or plexiglass sheet less than 2mm thick
PVC Glue
8 x 1.25 Inch Screws with Nuts
Tools Needed:
1x Hack Saw
Measure Tape
Screwdriver
Drill
Cutting:
1: Cut 2 30 inches (750mm) pieces of pipe
2: Cut 1 18 inches pieces of pipe
3: Cut 4 1ft (300mm) pieces of pipe
4: Cut 4 2 inches (65mm) pieces of pipe
Cut to Sheet Into Appropriate Size 2x3ft
You can change this measurement but if you want to change this then you have to change each pipe measurement accordingly, this one is perfect for 1:16 or 1:10 and around that size of RC cars
Now Cut the PVC Pipes and Put Them As Shown in the Picture to Get the Rough Idea of the Measurements
if something is not right or proper you can change it at this point, because nothing is fixed or joint
But make sure you are keeping equal distance on each side of the sheet
approximately (8cm) in from the long side and 3.5 (9cm) from the short side it may change according to your setup
Now Glue All the Joints Except Two Joints That Shown in the Pictures
Do no Glue the joints which we are using to adjust the height of the ramp and used as a hinge
After Gluing All the Parts the Ramp Frame Would Look This, As Shown in the Picture
Now Final Step Is to Secure the Sheet With the Frame Using the 1.25 Inch Screws Shown in the Picture, Use Drill to Make Neat Holes in the Sheet Through PVC Pipe
You can directly drill the holes by securing the sheet with the masking tape or something like that temporarily, no need to take perfect measurements as we just want to secure the sheet with the frame
You Can Make Grooves in the Sheet Using Glue Gun to Give Some Traction While Jumping the Car If Surface Is Slippery
And That Is It Your Protable RC Car Ramp Is Ready to Do Some Bashing!!
