Default Huge 40 foot Jumps - Savage Flux Video's

Hi there guys here is some footage of the Savage Flux Taking on the Huge Jumps at Knox B.M.X Track in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The savage was flying with the size of these jumps and i cant believe that i didnt trash the truck completly by the end of the day.

Awesome!

In the first video it looks like the truck is going to flip on its backside, yet you corrected the problem in mid-air. How did you do that?

He tapped his brakes. If you accelerate while approaching a ramp, and gas it while in the air you will do at least one back flip. If your good enough at it you can do 2-3.

Note: Front flips are MUCH harder LOL

I have had the flux 30 feet in the air jump after jump at the skate park hitting the half pipes at full speed but on a track with 20 foot high jumps its about control and making cool videos for people to see.

I also have 2 nitro savages, 1 race truck and 1 bashing truck and they are very strong trucks when set up right for what you are doing and having the right bracing added after purchasing them.....

wheres that track? looks like fun. i have done much bigger jumps with my emaxx. it has jumped off a 30 foot snow pile on the top of a hill and landed fine. although yours was more of distance mine was height. that BMX track is awsome. i want to go there. and are you running 6S with the blur?
