how cool would this be???

[mavrick0611]

friday we were cleaning the back room and my mom picked up the rollerpad for the computer chair and laid it up against the couch. i charged up 2 batterys. angled the pad so it was the shape of a half pipe like in skate boarding. tuned on my buggy and it would fly right up and land the same way it was going up. some times i turned it in the air and it laned front wheels first. and one time it grinded and landed perfectly.

this could be a cool sport. "Half PiPe R/C"
imagine the possibilitys!

I had a lot of fun driving my car in our pool after we drained it in preparation to resurface it =)

It was fun driving up the wall at the deep end (13 feet deep), turn just before the car would flip, and drive back down again.

Most fun I've had though was at a construction site where they had new sections of sewer pipe to install laying out. Each section was about 7' in diameter and 20' long; you could get some speed, turn slightly and if you had enough speed pull a loop in the pipe and exit the other side, hopefully on the bottom, or else go shooting out at some funky angle. I could never get it to make continuous loops though, the car would bottom out all the time and scrub off too much speed, then fall =) Still, it was fun, until I broke my front shock tower.

The spelling, oh God the spelling...

gok, cool. they would like have to make special cars to jump like a gyro os something so you could turn it in the air. it would be nice!!!

Throtl Hapie, o god your name is spelled wrong, the name ooo god, sustitute english teacher.

At my track the plywood walls are all slanting outward. Lets just say we've done some awsome half pipe rolls and barrel rolls and more than a few broken parts(the best wall is at the end of the straight).

i want to take my truck to the skatepark and go over the jumps. i think i could go on the spine. that would be kool. go up it, and it the brakes, and go down the other side.

i did 2 front flips today with my truck. i had a piece of plywood about 4ft by about 2 and a half. and i put it on a cinder (o god!! the spelling!!) block and had it as high as i could get it, and i went up a few times, mostly landing on the top of the truck, but 2 tikmes i got it to go all the way around. go to maxxtraxx.com and i think in the gerneral discussion area there is a link to a video of a t-maxx doing a full front flip and landing. its awesome. it may be in the videos section as well. but, one time i landed on the backwheels and powered it to go on all four, and the second time, i actually landed on the wheelS!!!!!! it was sooooo sweet. i really bashed the heck out of it though. its all dirty, and from landing on the body so much before i took it off, its all cracked. but it was relaly kool. im gonna see if my friend will want to go to the skatepark.

cool!!! imagine if some one set up a plave for half pipe r/c. you would need aluminum parts but it would hardly slow you down cause your going down up air, down up air, over and over, sweeeet!!!! o the spelling!

yeah that's cool, but not as cool as my soon to be 4x4 nitro sport!

[mavrick0611]

$$$$
I know I might spend more money on making it 4x4 than buying a mt but that takes the fun out of it

About my SN: It's a screen name, more importantly a name. There is no right or wrong way to spell a name. OK, maybe i'm a jack *** about it, but I can't stand spelling mistakes from mature intelligent people, and I don't know why!

Anyway, use an empty pool as a half pipe instead. I did it with my friend in his pool (no, not that "did it" you pervert... http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif)
. Cars were flying up the sides and doing flips and stuff. It was fun.

i think half pipe r/c could make it to tv! imagine the height you would get at a skate park, but also imagine the damage from a bad landing.... but that would be cool. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
