Default new product ???

Time to switch over to aerodynamics mode...

Start working on the new rc shox super aero fly like a winged buggy body

ha ha ha

I think in this situation looking at that HUGE and MACH SPEED jump there is nothing mechanical that is going to give you the flight you need for that beast of a hit . It has simply hit the limitation point for our trucks.

It seems like it is the same also for 99.9999% of others as well from the comments of your self and heavy jeff that ole smiley who works and runs there daily might just have the slight edge of consistancy due to the sheer amount of laps he has run on that particular jump and a slight nod to the losi for its buggy platform and he can put his truck right at the limitation. The likes of your self , christian , and others who are solid if not true experts in tuning this and other vehicles, who have some of the most dialed in vehicles due to the r&d you both do , who are top level drivers with lots of track time , just cant get the consistancy due to the experience of running this current track set up as much as ole smiley.
Remember these are 1/10 scale and you are having problems on a jump that is massive in size distance and speed for even 1/8 scale. I watched the vids of the track and even the few (as not even a third of the 1/8 buggies were pulling it off) buggies pulling it off were just hucking into the air and then just locking it up and slapping down hard, not a fluid , flowing flight by any means. Just having the power to huck the mass , weight to carry the mommentum , and the ability to lock up the higher rotational mass of the 1/8 wheels to cause it to slap if not smash down. There had to be some serious failure rates on shocks , bladders ect on the buggies with that type of crash down.

I think it is time to go comando late night with a shovel and go knock off the top 6 inches of that hit and level out the ramp on it a bit . ha ha
