RC Stunt Competitions

RC Stunt Competition

Jump, flip, and roll your way to the RC winner's circle.

You don't have to be the fastest to jump the furthest. You may think you can do the wildest flips, the longest wheelies, and the highest jumps but can you do a series of stunts all in a row faster than the other guy?

Take your typical backyard bashing to new levels with a series of back-to-back stunts and scoring.

Setup

  • Decide what types of stunts are going to be performed and make sure you have all the needed equipment such as ramps and boundary markers, a tape measure for distance events, and a stop watch for timed events.

  • Stunts you might include in the competition include wheelies, flips, donuts, obstacle course, driving on two side wheels, reverse 180's, backward driving, and jumps.

Stunt Selection

There are dozens of ways you can set up your competition. Here are a few ideas you can use or adapt to your own situation.

  1. Write out all the stunts on individual slips of paper and put in a container. Competitors draw a predetermined number of stunts from the container.

  2. Write down 12, 36, or 24 different stunts. Number each one. Using six-sided dice (a pair for a list of 12 stunts, 3 for 36, 4 for 24) each player rolls the dice. The number rolled determines the stunt to be performed. Each player rolls until they have a list of six (or whatever number you want) stunts to perform.

Competition

Whichever method you use to choose the stunts, each player now has a set number of stunts to perform. Decide ahead of time if the order of stunts is player's choice or some other set order. Decide how many rounds will make up the entire competition (selecting new stunts for each round).

Scoring

A simple scoring method might be 1 point for each successful stunt. No points for failing the stunt or going out of bounds. Give an extra point to the winner of each round. Do a set number of rounds or have a goal of "first player to 30 wins."
