Sometimes.

You can affect all three - pitch, roll, and yaw - while your car is in the air with a 4wd. I have yet to figure out how to adjust yaw with a 2wd (it seems to be all in the takeoff). Most of the control is in the pitch on both, but especially on the 2wd.

As far as i am concerned, jumping pipes is cheating. Its no different then jumping from one infield lane over the pipes to the next lane.

I agree. You should be penalized somehow for taking "shortcuts".

That one might have been during practice but I have seen people do that in races too.

+1. Chill out guys.

I visited a track that actually had two sections of pipe that were set purposely so you COULD jump them. They would use neon green spray chalk to identify jumpable pipes.

Usually a S turn section, that would be an S turn section with a few jumps for 1/10th scale, but was a straight with a few jumps over the S and pipes for the 1/8th scales. Really neat, and fun.
