unfortunately a bandit wont handle too many big air jumps.
I took my losi 8ight-E to a local bmx track to give it a thrashing a while back. it took 2 or 3 clean jumps off the first step up well over 25 feet. then I gave it the beans trying to downside the next jump AFTER the step up. 62 foot jump and I landed it on its roof shattering a gopro camera case. car was unscathed.
then I launched it out of the 9 foot tall asphalt berm like a ramp rather than a corner. 80 feet. the chassis flexed so hard when it landed that the rear drive shaft popped out of the center diff. nothing else broken.
get a 1/8 buggy or truggy for BIG air.
