I consider you to be one of the best 'stunt' jumpers, do you think this jump was just lucky, or is it something that is repeatable?

thanks, i appreciate. I got some new world firsts in my hat, I just need a sunny day to film them !

traxxas's driver manages this 180° starting in reverse with the slash ( 2 times ) and the xmaxx also. it wasn't luck : they start in reverse, slightly steers the wheel, hit the brakes and this creates a rotation : it helps to have a wide ramp. so they did some work and will surely try those jumps live

I didn't work hard on jumps in reverse, but there is some funny things to do !

I wrote some comments on this traxxas vid and they nicely replied : I told them to name their jump !
Good to see a manufacturer pushing the freestyle side of RC's

Awesome video on this upgrade. Well thought out on the front arm and hub clearance. I'm installing these today. No more magic pins escaping.

Here is the Center Diff lube or whatever they call it. My Brother in-law took his new 8s rig apart to change to a known fluid thickness. Said it is not dirty or sticky on hands. Not grease. Maybe silicone. Anyone know what this stuff is?
What are you guys using for center diff lube?
