Suggestions on 1/18th scale jumps?
Hello everyone...
I am taking suggestions on what type of jumps the racers with 18th scale vehicles would like to see on the carpet offroad track after the layout is design when the pink carpet goes down on the back track. All suggestions are welcome. We want to make it fun but also a great track to drive. We will start working on this track after the onroad is back up with the blue carpet.
But in the meantime, we will still race on the blue carpet with the same jumps as we work on the back track.
Thanks

Well, I haven't said anything because I don't really know what to suggest. I would like a double or two in there somewhere. Maybe a tight turn somewhere to make you have to brake and then completely change directions right into a jump. That would be cool.

Ok cool....I will be gathering measurements of the area this friday and begin designing a layout. I just want to make sure it is designed to want people want and will have fun on. Thats why i asked about the jumps or any other suggestions people may have.

I'd have to agree with Mr Zero..... doubles would be my favorite by far. I wish there was a section long enough to do a rhythem section. But it may be easier to just do a whoops section. I saw one track where they just ran
3" pvc pipes under the carpet about a foot apart to make whoops. Seemed to work pretty good.

I've got a Vendetta on the way, due in thursday. What size batteries you guys running. I've never ran 1/18th scale before. Car comes with a 600 I believe. Is 1200mah about the max anyone runs? Trying to be as prepared as possible when I finally make it down.

Batteries are basically open for any 2/3A cells i have seen up to 1400's. I am running the reedy VMX 1400 pack myself and some 1100's. As far as motor, im not sure we have not chose a spec motor as of yet. I am running a Venom Fireball motor which is fast but controllable. And its like a 9 dollar motor.

To keep it on the topic 
I just want to make sure I have enough punch for the jumps. Not expecting anything spectacular totally stock car, I just cant wait to his some jumps in traffic 
The video of the national carpet races with those guys jumping back and forth over the track pops in my mind off and on during the day.
