Today on East Tactics, the team embarked on a mission to construct their very own RC jump. Their aim? A ramp that defies convention - lightweight yet tougher than nails. To achieve this, they reinforced the structure with four brace pieces, a departure from the norm of just one on each side. Opting for 1x2s over bulkier 2x4s, they struck the perfect balance between strength and weight, a crucial factor in the world of RC jumps. Adding a touch of industrial flair, metal casters were integrated along the feet, ensuring durability on any terrain.
The dimensions of the ramp were meticulously planned - a 45° launch angle, 4ft wide, and 42in long. Armed with materials like 1x2s, 2x4s, plywood, wood glue, Gorilla Tape, and screws, the team set out on their construction journey. Despite the total cost hovering around $133, they reassured viewers that with savvy material choices, the project could be completed for less. The build process unfolded with precision - cutting, notching, taping, and assembling each piece with care and attention to detail.
As the construction neared completion, the team reflected on the challenges and triumphs of the project. With a nod to past adventures like the Sunset Overdrive challenge, they added a touch of nostalgia to the final stages of the ramp's assembly. The fusion of lightweight design and enhanced durability stood as a testament to their ingenuity and dedication to the craft. With the finishing touches in place, the stage was set for the ultimate test - sending their RC cars soaring through the air with unmatched style and resilience.
