ok question to all:
what was your craziest ramp ever?
mine was when i ramped my xx cr buggy about 8-9 feet in the air. it flew over my head, went about 15 feet landed on all 4's and didnt even have a scrath! wow!
My Rustler so far. Built a jump and a landing ramp with 2 pieces of straight wood, and 2 recycle bins straight up. Went about 10+ feet high and at least 23 feet. Another one of my hobbies is BMX Dirt Jumping. Im going to take my GT off a 5 feet high straight up angled dirt jump with a lip (very hard to control from flipping and hard to get it to land on wheels). If it goes as planned which it wont. It will get about 20feet high (I told you it was angled and about 30 feet long. Im going to bring a tape measurer to be acurate.

My NXT wen about 10 feet up and 30 feet forward over a jump made out of a sheet of plywood and a 35 gallon drum. Bent the chassis a bit(a lot) when it landed rear end first.

When my rustler had some modified power(back in the day) there is a lot by my friends house, but the thing is, the lot goes down very steep, it is aboout 15 feet from the street to the bottom, we built a small launch ramp(about 3 feet high) so that i could go up the curb entry, hit the ramp, and fly, well, it worked, my car putted back happily to me, and so i did it againm i did it about 5 times, but my seals on my big bores blew out, but man o man, it was fun!

I jumped my XXX-T off my roof. IT got 10 feet high and about 7 feet far. Theres a in-bank-ment (or hill) about 8 feet tall that slants 12 feet down at a 30º angel. That hill let me jump my car 8 times off the roof with out a it breaking!
On my track theres' a 15 ft thriple that I do every lap with a 13 turn, I get about 5 feet high off it.

i bought a new body for my xxx so i decided to do something to the old one. i cut the wing and daped it back together with some duct tape so that the back part can move up and down like an elavator. next i bolted on a servo to the shock tower and atchached a wire to the flap so it works as an elavator. i also atached pieces of lexan to the ball studs near the front wheels. finaly i atched an airplane radio reciver and i use an airplane radio to control it. now i can do crazy flips and spins of jumps!
it's realy cool.
