Perhaps you are not making it over the jumps because of a heavy trigger finger.
LoL, you called my bluff

The difference is for me i can do all my Mods for free and to suit my style, where as some one new has to pay for it then try to work out how to tune it.
So its a case of each to their own. Yes clutch is a big part of it as well.

Yes ive got a heavy trigger finger but my mods seem to have made the power curve alot more forgiving for my driving style. Yeah i think i need to restrain my trigger finger, but it aint gonna happen for some time to come, i was born a rev head and thats hard to shake once you have been bit.

Besides my modded motor, Go Tech .21 5 port owes me like $300 AUS, and with the mods ive done it can hang with the best motors out there for a 3rd the price, but i personaly would not pay top dollar for an Italian mill when i can do it myself for a 1/4 of the cost.

PS: a Rotax is not a small capacity Nitro motor and generaly are top notch from production.
