Are these durable? http://www.duratrax.com/caraccys/dtxc2375.html I hear that they're not very durable, but might stand up to occasional use. What're you gonna do with them?

Set them on the driveway and launch my Stampede off of them. :-) But if they aren't durable, I'd rather just set some plywood on a brick. >>I hear that they're not very durable, but might stand up to occasional use. >>What're you gonna do with them?

I figure I might head down that road..... The DTrax ramps are very light weight. They move every time you hit them, they even blow around in the wind. They seem to fatigue a lot where the metal rods plug into the edges. On the good side... they can be stored flat. > >>I hear that they're not very durable, but might stand up to occasional use. > >>What're you gonna do with them?

Thanks...glad I held off on it. Also, they have a little video on their website....you can actually SEE the ramp move when the truck hits it! Not very good marketing. :-) Check it out: http://www.duratrax.com/caraccys/dtxc2375.html I have a Stampede too. It's fun running it on concrete because it's much faster. I was thinking about buying a piece of 1/4 inch plywood, cutting it in half then joining it with a couple small hinges. Then just tie a string to hold it in place. Then I want to hit that thing while already in a turn and see what happens. Matt > >I hear that they're not very durable, but might stand up to occasional use. > >What're you gonna do with them?

The sides are too short, so it just launches the vehicle straight into the air. Plus, it is a pain in the a.s to set up because as soon as I have placed the metal in the board, the damn thing comes out on the other side. I definitely don't recommend it.
