Garden track

Hi folks
I just received my Overland this last monday and I love it! I have been working on a garden/track on and off for the last few months for my xmod and mini mauler. The MM runs great on this but the xmod has poor ground clearance and bad steering. kept getting stuck and and lots of bump steer so i held off on finishing my track. Now that i have a mini-z, I am very motivated to finish my track. I need some opinions and ideas to finish this off. I was thinking of some bumps and jumps, maybe some bridges here and there.

always with a lime!! sometimes a salt rimmed glass, even. It's my favorito.

thanks for the props on the tahoe. I need to make some little surfboards for the top. ;-)

I don't know about the photos, that's one of those well kept MZR secrets...;-)

That's a sweet track! My wife would leave me for spending too much time out there if I had a track like that!

you should put some jums, bridges.
I think some flowers or grass would be perfect to make this track more perfect.
I will do something like this for me and my monster.
