Lakie Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Just seen this ramp on the Bay & thought it'd be good for our bashes. Made from plastic so should be pretty light weight & suitable for BMX's & skateboards so should be RC friendly even for the Baja's! 105mm Long x 710mm Wide x 300mm High. 135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randum Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Someone brought one along to bash once. Pretty identical to that. You won't get much air from it as its not steep enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it'd be plenty big enough for 1/5 scale as not looking to shoot to the skies! Also it's pretty much the only ramp I've seen that is wide enough for the big boys!

Randum Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Depends how high you wanna go. But yeah like you say 1/5 you don't wanna be going to high. If its the same as the brought along on our bash Matt27roy was putting his baja 5sc up it and was getting about 4 - 5ft max height. How about making one. Maybe a fold up design? So it flattens down to go in vehicle and storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have made ramps before, but they end up a lot heavier than a moulded plastic ramp & would be quite difficult to make as a fold up. You really need a curved ramp face to get decent air & that doesn't fold too easily. I'm not saying we should deffo get one, it's just something I found & thought might be good.

Randum Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Well good luck guys. I not a north London basher but just thought I'd let you know before you bought that ramp expecting to clear hedges and stuff as it was at top of my timeline.

It may well have been less. Like 3ft. Was a while ago now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm still sweating at the very idea ... 3' ... can we have one that gives about 6 inches of height? Small mole-hill maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smash Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've got one of those ramps and can quite comfortably get my truggy head height out of it and I'm 5'11".. It's a solid ramp and well worth the money. Plus it won't rot when you leave it in the back yard.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad-Co Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) It's the same ramp Smyths Toys sell for Edited September 17, 2013 by Bad-Co Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smash Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yeah it's pretty much the same, I need to get another to do as you said and put them side by side for a larger target area.. But yeah you can do the lot with them as the kick is just right.. Front and back flips you name it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've had about 8' of air from something very similar, my Baja lived to tell the tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 With so many of you throwing money in the pot, perhaps consider two ramps? Tent pegs to pin them down side by side, you'll have a much larger target area. Just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakie Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 I guess if we got 2 then 2 diff people could keep them. That way we stand more chance of at least 1 turning up to a bash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
