      Hi,

      It has been my goal to make a mount panorama race track, however i dont really know how to make mountains, and i was wondering if expanding foam would work???

      Expanding foam would make a mountain of sorts, but you probably wouldn’t have much control over the shape. Have a look at the gotskills guys site to see about making mountains and rock formations that look realistic, and would be fairly light (but not as light as foam).

      http://www.got-skillz.com/ They have a great track.

      Mount Panorama would be a difficult track wouldn’t it because basically one side of the mountain is up and the other side is down, could BCG’s climb this type of track?

      Make sure you do a LOT of bit testing before doing too much work. I had a track almost complete before finding out that the cars could at most make one lap before the batteries were too low to climb.

      On my finalized track, I used Metal Screen from Home Depot and coated it with Plaster

      Look here at the overall result.

      Keep in mind… there is still plenty of work to be done to this course… just giving everyone a taste.

      Also… the hill don’t show up too well in the picture.
