Hello mate, cool you going to make a track, nice 1, where you gonna do it??
I cant help on the hose but i hope you get it sorted, good luck mate :thumbs_up:

yeah we've looked into the blue mains water pipe but its too expensive really

going to do it at the ross on wye bash needs be hose so we can put it away as its at a school just going to use a few plastic skate ramps and hose so it can be stored away easily too also hoping to get some land from the council local to set a track up

still thinking about this...

looks like 28mm water main tube to me :) i think that would do the job guys for sure, its gonna be cheaper to buy, and lighter to carry and store away..
good luck with the track mate :thumbs_up:

guys have you thought about using 22mm foam laggin for copper pipe? cost you about 50 quid to get enough to build a track...
alans_savage - March 17, 2008 07:25 PM (GMT)
doesnt that break up if it gets wet
Marc.. RC Addict! - March 17, 2008 07:28 PM (GMT)
yeh good point mate,lol :lol:
some of them do yeh, but the black stuff i used to use would do the job nice, even when its wet it is very hard to break up..
Matt - March 17, 2008 07:35 PM (GMT)
