YAY! :roll: Thanks BENDER! I really appreciate that. (BTW, you are the guy who makes the Bender SW2 chassis right? Well, if you are, its one of the greatest 2.2 chassis I have ever driven. I drove my friends SW2 last week, and it performs really well;-) .)
You should try the SW3 then,it's a step ahead of the SW2"thumbsup"
Thanks for the wright up,this will help allot of people get started. One thing I've found that helps allot in building a rock garden is something to move the bigger rocks with. Them biggens can really work the lower back. This helped allot with building our spot.....

Man I really wish I had something like that or a Bobcat. All I had was an industrial wagon, a wheel barrow, a dolley, my ATV, and my body. Man you are one lucky fellow. (but no wonder you get the big boys toys and I dont, lol, I am only 14.:roll: )
No problem, thanks for taking the time to write that article. "thumbsup"
Thanks for the compliments on the chassis too. 8)

The only problem I had with my rockcourse was after not running on it for a few weeks , I went to go crawl and there were tons of spider webs all over in the holes between the rocks.
So I filled the gaps in with dirt and packed it down where I could.

Good idea. Only problem is... it kinda premotes the growth of weeds. Which you really dont need nor want on a good crawler course. My suggestion-- before weeds grow on the dirt you put in, spray it with weed killer about once every 3 weeks to a month.
