ya man.... I only used 1 ramp. As for the others, you need "balls" or many spare parts. It's a great place for monster trucks to perform. some of the ramps are too bumpy for buggies. It tends to flip back wards

Tks Khoo!
Anyone tried doing front flips? For backflips, just full throttle most of the time will get it. But for frnt flips i heard must brake just as the truck leaves the ramp. Any other ideas to have jumping variations? Like 360s,flair?... if u r familiar with BMX terms.

Not familar with BMX terms. Asking my buggy to do a 360 deg flip is like preparing myself to get a new engine and buggy if it falls upside down. I'm sure it's do-able. But really need huge balls man. Monster trucks may do better in flips and the shocks are much tougher..... I can't wait to see some of this trucks FLY....

Yep trucks carry more mass and definately easier to flip. We either land on the engine heat sink or on 4 wheels. No wonder i have change engine evey 3 mths...hahaha

Not a 360 but a barrel roll of sorts. http://www.traxxas.com/ftp/revo_mov/...deo_revo13.htm

Flair - going up a ramp and landing on the same side of the ramp and changing the direction of the truck 180 - if that makes sense.
The trick is done in the clip in here http://www.driftfactory.de/driftfactory.html
click on
"entertainment"

"videoclips"

"freakridejam"

Minute 1:14....


We need to play with the angle of approach to get varied results. Do u guys think getting a full roll cage would be advisable? The trucks are so heavy, i'm afriad that their sheer weight will sure crush any roll cage.
