This is our original ramp design. We just launched a couple new versions for larger cars. This design can work well on 1:8 scale, but high speed hits will move it around without proper support. We now recommend this ramp for 1:10 scale, unless you use it in grass or pack dirt under the ramp deck. 2' long ramp x 4' wide gives a nice transition and is wide enough to actually hit at speed. It folds down to 5" tall and is easy to transport to new spots. Aluminum frame is easy to assemble, start feet
hold ramp solid at any angle, leg feet keep it planted.
Assembly required - Takes 30-40 min. - Frame bolts together with expanding tube inserts, then clamp deck and use pilot holes in frame to drill and screw the top deck to frame.
Ramp Deck
- 1 sheet of 1/8" Masonite (hardboard) is cheap and works good for 1:10 scale, get 2 sheets for 1:8 scale. Or upgrade to
1 sheet of 1/8" Lexan (polycarbonate) for a longer lasting deck. Lexan
will need to be countersunk for flat head screws to sit flush.

Home Depot has pre-cut 2'x4' sheets at $7 for textured hardboard. Or a full 4'x8' sheet is only $13 and
they will cut it to size for free, which gives you extras.
- Specs -
- Folds down to 5" high or 3" if you remove legs.
- Weighs 10# with 1 Masonite layer for 1:10 scale, or 15# with 2 layers for 1:8 scale.
- Three Settings - 40° is a good long kicker (20-40'), 50° angle
high jump launches well over 10' high, 60° angle is great for low to
med. speed back flips.
- 3/4"x .065 wall 6061 aluminum (also made in USA) frame is easy to assemble with expanding tube inserts
- Adjustable legs with 3D printed feet to keep ramp planted
- Start feet at base of ramp flip around to hold the start of ramp solid at higher angles
- Masonite deck is weather resistant, give it a coat of paint for wet climates. Use smooth side for mostly high speed, or textured side for lower speed stunts.
