Building a Lightweight Indoor Crawler Course from garbage
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 16. 06. 2024
- With Winter wearing on, and this injury keeping me off the mountain bike, we decided to have a little fun in the shop. This micro crawler course is built from boxes, plaster, paint, and a variety of fake plants and rocks from the hobby store. Build one of these yourself, and make your basement a lot more entertaining!

The micro crawler course sits atop two sawhorses from Lowes, and is made from one sheet of MDF. The course measures 4 feet by 6 feet, or 122cm by 183cm.

âI cannot express enough how this is not a tutorial.â I actually may use this method for a railroad layout!
Yes. I feel inspired to get my Old MĂ€rklin Train from the attic and build a landscape with it. Completely forgot about it.
Me to but Iâm building a drift car track for 1/10 rc
@@markskates5864 your going to need it to be MUCH bigger and flat. I suggest on like you garage floor or basement
@@RealJawnes I know Iâm using my garage floor
Sweet, I love train layouts
Petition for berm park to have an entire RC trail
yes
Yea
Yes
Yes 100%
Yes
I never gets tired of hearing âBut kind of the same"
I'm kinda sick of it, feels overused now
I kind of had enough of this guy. Adios!
Same can be true with bikes. After awhile it's all the same.
Yeah
@@femto505 True. I love GMBN's presenter. But it's getting repetitive. There are putting out the same video they put out a few years ago. I listen to bike vloggers a lot more lately. And GMBN tech, Doddy is very interesting and he put out awesome content.
I was told by matt from IFHT to leave a comment about how sick his roost cannon was here
Hahahaha yeah fuck a crawler course, Iâm gunna build a roost cannon. Why pretend to drive when I can pretend to roost!?!!
What is this whole âroost cannon IFHTâ thing?
@@Losovox ifht posted a video of basically a potato cannon that you fill with dirt to make it look like you roosted, and they (matt) told every one to post their comments on Seth's videos
@@seandamon057 ahh ok
We need a shirt saying: "I can't stress enough, this is not a tutorial."
Yes, and have a URL to every video where he's said that.
So true
Yeah
came down to say this exact same thing
I just came down here to request thisđ
Make some sort of tunnel under a plaster mountain and that is where the âgarageâ for the crawlers will be
Wide diameter PVC pipe cut in half (or slightly larger than half) makes a great tunnel starter.
Hey Seth, i must admit, after watching your rc Videos i got myself a microcrawler, too. Now im constantly driving it with my kids and really enjoying it. So thanks for that. Keep up the great work you're doing.
Can we have some predictions on how long its gonna be till Seth buys a real jeep and starts a proper rock crawling channel as well.
I'll give it 3 years
1 year
Imma go with 4
never
When covid is over is what i think
He should build a mountain that's really hell inducing.
With a tunnel under it that doubles as car storage, so he doesnât have parking spaces taking up room in the table
seth: âwelcome to berm peak express - come for the mountain biking, stay for the micro crawlersâ đ
in all seriousness, i dig these micro crawler vids and am learning a lot while thinking of a project i want to pursue đ
If you want to add light weight obstacles, a can of spray foam works wonders. Spray a blob here or there then use a bread knife to carve it. The beauty about spray foam is it is dense, and light (since it's mostly air). Use the high expansion gap filler type.
you can carve ruts into it as well and then paint it up so it looks like mud. Using the water based liquid clear, you could even fill the ruts with glossy clear, when it dries it will look like water.
Just thinking: if you wanted to make a winter section/snow, paint things in white, and off white and use gloss clear to make it slippery.
If you wanted to make a "desert" section, you could use camo paint in tan, get some plastic cactus and it'd be gold jerry, GOLD.
I am just getting into crawling and I might just make one of these.
You could also just screw down your 'mountains" so you can rotate them, or move them around to change it up. When you're laying down the plaster, put down some old grocery bags first so it doesn't stick to your base. Pre-drill the plaster sheets though so they don't split when you put the screw in. Also use pan head screws so it doesn't crack your mountain. You could even use plastic washers to further protect your plaster work.
pin this comment. ftw
Thanks this channel has got me obsessed with mountain biking and now rock crawling in my backyard
Earlier today I was asking myself when Seth will post again
Same
@@outsidelife5360 same
Same. Iâm so bored but Seth makes the day so much better
Same

When Seth said that heâs addicted to RCs he really meant it.
I know you probably get these textes 24/7 but you are helping me incredibly! It sounds weird but it's true. You help me recharge from the world. I love your videos and I cant get enough of them. You're helping me find inspiration and motivation to go out biking... and you got me into R/C. I'm so happy that you exist. Your videos mean a lot to all of us. Not just me. We love you.
I'm a recent convert an... I find crawling such a soothing, stress relieving hobby. Super chill FUN
Me too having troubles with building 24 scale course started with sheets of plaster wet and stick to make hills going to try expanding foam ty
the roost was preety good from the back angle not the front
Next video:
The whole garage is a mini rock crawler course
Next video:
Welcome to Berm Park: my new house I'm converting to a micro crawler course.
My grandparents have like a whole man cave with like scale trains and background like Seth was doing but much bigger like a whole garage but with trains and scenes made with the same stuff Seth uses besides the trash he like uses cardboard and puts papier-mùché around it and then plaster around it it is amazing
That would actually look really cool
Video after: I turned my entire neighborhood into a crawlers course
@@david94549 Video after that... USA the new crawler country
Me: over here with aluminum bars on my bike
Seth: over there with carbon bars on his KNEE SCOOTER
Great video as always Seth, itâs so awesome seeing you have an idea, create it, and test it. Watching these videos always hits the spot for me. Keep creating.
Brilliant job building that course, it's given me some ideas how to build one using odds and ends like you have.
I like the fact that Seth is now a diorama professional, I guess he could make a diorama for his mini bike nextđ€Ł
It's going to be so strange when Seth starts mountain biking again...
Canât help but hear Lite Brite say âThere ya goâ while crawling.
Loving these Seth! Keep 'em coming. Hope your healing is going well.
New channel âSeths Crafts Hacksâ
He could build like different terrains like a mesa or even a mudding course
Agreed that would be awesome and then a wash station for the mud.
Donât give him any more ideas bro he would turn his whole house into a micro crawler course
@@mugismtv it would be the best youtube series ever
@@mugismtv true
Excellent! I got some Great ideas from this for a new build, thanks for showing!
this just shows your willingness to learn and try new things...
such an inspiration... seriously.
This course definitely needs a "maim frame" like the one on Berm Peak!

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Who else is single as hell?
Me lol
I'm not single; I have 2 mountain bikesđđ
lucky to have a wonderful bf ;)
I have a bike she's ma girl
Well tomorrow is singles awareness day according to my brother.
Thats Great! I devinetly like to see more of this Building and Driving Crawler Stuff. Thank you for this great content.
This seems like an excellent opportunity to get some colabs going! There are so many great diorama makers on CZcams, I'm sure a lot of them would like to help out! :)
Berm peak express 1 year ago:trail building and mountain biking
Berm peak express nowadays: Seth's leg surgery ,crawlers and crawler course and trash boxes
This would be perfect for the ranger station. Like instead of a pool table for the guests, you would have a small RC course in true Berm Peak style.
Or make it a mock up of the public bike park, but with RC trails.
What a COOL and AMAZING idea and so well executed!! Even by 3:22 when you said "this doesn't look at all like terrain" it already looked good enough to make it worthwhile. Very well done, brilliant!
This is fantastic. Iâm just getting my kids into RC, but we havenât tried crawlers yet. This seems like a great way to do some indoor RC! I think one of these would go great in my boyâs room!

The most entertaining mid life crisis ever
This feels like a personal attack đđ I'm 32 and just built my first outdoor track at home đđ I'm too young to have a mid-life crisis yet it's just a new hobby that doesn't hurt my knees đđ

Ehhhh it's evening we're I am

Thatâs what Seth does.
Congratulations on your baby!!!
Sweet I love this. I just got my first ever mini crawler I've had plenty large trucks so I wasn't sure if I liked this at first but I made my track I. The back and really liked it but now after seeing this you showed me the true fun of these minis. I'm already planning my mini course for my garage
I think a little fake pond with rocks scattered across would be pretty cool. You would have to stay on the rocks and not fall in.
Could probably make a really nice looking pond / river under the bridge using some resin
@Eric G thats what I was thinking but I couldn't rember the word resin
Yeah resin is good for that in you paint the bottem
Happy Valentineâs Day.
Congrats on huge new family member! Future shredder for sure! đđ
Love it. Have to build one for next winter
This speaks to me so hard. When I was a kid, on rainy days I would raid the recycling bin and use old cereal boxes to build skateparks for my tech decks. Definitely had some fun!
nigga
I felt so bad for him with his injury. Well, now Iâm in the same boat. I broke my wrist on Friday, this sucks.
i also broke my wrist friday, put off getting it checked out till saturday, large regrets
It gets better!
Heal up, Chris!
@@aidrianpatullo6088 I got lucky, it was very close to poking through my skin
@@BermPeakExpress no way! I didnât expect a response from you. Made my day.
Mahalo my dudes roost cannon looked pretty realistic!
I hope you get better Seth, I think you made quarantine interesting
Seth, that looks freakin' sick. As long as we get good content, take your time and get back to 100%, my dude.
I just started watching this video since Iâm getting back into rc and realized I used to watch you when your channel was called Sethâs bike hacks. Hype to start watching again!
Thanks for the inspiration I might do this with my mother in a little bit
Seth is literally going through my dad's mid life crisis... He had the dopest real life model crawlers and we made an entire course but using milk crates as the base so they snapped together and you could change it around so it never got boring. Different terrain and obstacles you could easily swap out. Childhood highlights for real. Miss this. Best dad ever so dope this is giving me flash backs hahaha.
That sounds awesome!
@@jonathansnow736 dude it was so dope if I ever have kids imma go hard in whatever they're into that shit was fun.

Culverâs cup
As a Wisconsinite, massive respect
awesome. This reminds me of a toy we had back in the 80s called stompers. Essentially, they were self directed, battery operated 4x4 cars and a whole lot of fun.
Genius....I keep watching it over n over
I'd like to see bits of terrain that could be moved to reconfigure the routes.
I think you should make an "urban" section with all city trash...cups, cans, those 4 cup cardboard holders...stuff like that.
The joy you had put a big smile on my face.
Thanks for the interesting video. Canât wait until youâre healed up and doing bike stuff again.
I absolutely love that suspension bridge. It looks beautiful.
It would be pretty legit to have like a garage under the table with a âdrive upâ ... would also be cool as a storage for the remotes and the RC Cars đđœ
That would be sick
That is a great idea
If Seth made a whole channel about RC crawlers and building crawler courses, i would definitely watch it
Dying to see the second half of the table. Love my SCx24
Omg yes I needed this, i'm fairly new to the channel but you already have me hungry for more of your content.
With holes in the 4x6 base (think welding table) each large âmountainâ could be modular with a few dowels on the bottom. Able to be moved around as you get bored with a certain layout
I'm not really into this stuff, but really like your channels and if this gets you through your injury I'm good with it! Really creative, by the way. Reminds me of back in the day when I did model railroad setups.
Awesome course thanks for the ideas
You know itâs gonna be a good day when you wake up to a berm peak notification
Let's go Seth!! You posted it's slowly getting back to normal!!
......I'm Loving The Crawler Track My Friend.... .......Good Job!!.....
Love your vĂdeos and dedication on your projects! Get well soon brother and take care!
5 years ago: "seth bike hacks"
now: "seth DIY hacks"
welcome back Seth!!! also, that track looks really well made! ( maybe even too good to expect from a person that hasn't even been in the hobby for more than a year, this coming from a kid that's been doing all things rc for 8 years ) hope you can get back on the trails! get well soon
Hey Seth, get better soon. As a 4x4 guy I gotta say I love the vid and at my age your vids made me want to try mountain biking. All the best!
Just bought an scx24 because of your videos. We need a part 2 to indoor crawler park!
This was like watching a Bob Ross painting. I thought " this is going to look like crap" then it turns out looking great. Good job guys.
Remember when Seth was forced to pivot to an entirely different topic and we all followed along because we secretly love Seth more than mountain bikes?
This is why you are CZcams goals and one of the main channels i look at for inspiration on my channel. Keep it up.
Yes we do love Seth more than the content, just listening to him mess around just makes my day!
Oh my gosh Iâm a big fan of what you just did!!! That looks so đ
Love the 1/24 scaled crawlers. Very entertaining video.
I love how he didnât intend to make it look realistic but is looks soooo realistic
Seth: I can't stress enough how this video is not a tutorial.
Me: *meh I'm copying it anyway.*
Nice i have a indoor course i use in the winter then i take all the dirt back outside and collapse the table for the summer great idea you have cool course đ
This was a very helpful tutorial
I think this calls for a suspension log bridge for the mountain bikes! On berm peak!!
we need cooking with seth part 2!!
Very cool Seth and such an inspiration to our crawler course! Love the rc content as much as the bikes.đđŻ
I'm really starting to enjoy crafting with Seth!
Even is the RC stuff is not you jam just support Seth through his injury heâll be back
Its hilarious hearing seth explain his process without knowing what he's doing at all.
Just found your page due to looking at ideas for a mini micro crawler course for me and my son cause I'm buying a trx4m for his birthday and your course is awesome and I ride mountain bikes so I'm glad to find your channel
I can't believe I'm watching a grown man play with Crawlers and I am enjoying it this much. Awesome video! Now I want one of my one!!!
Seth: We aren't going to add dirt to make it heavy.
Also Seth: Were going to use sand an other materials to help traction.
