LOL, Did he have a choice with the landing? ;) >> > http://www.danontherun.com/videos_files/bigjump.mpg >> > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> > LOL, Did he have a choice with the landing? ;) Note that the truck is vertical (nose up) in mid-air and then levels out right before he touches down. That's done by applying just the right amount of brakes in mid-air. So yeah, he could have landed ass-first if he didn't apply brakes or landed nose first had he applied too much brakes.

Depends which country you're in :) http://www.modelsport.co.uk/ http://www.towerhobbies.com I fear thinking how much i've invested into her tho...

Is that invested in upgrades or repairs? >> > LOL how much are these savages on average? >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> > Is that invested in upgrades or repairs? My guess would be upgrades. I paid $369 for my 25RTR back in May, and have put around 7 gallons thru her since then. In those seven gallons, maybe $100 in repairs/wear and tear, mostly caused by full-speed impacts with large, immovable objects (trees, fire hydrants, etc.). For those reading who are newer to nitro, 7 gallons is a shitload of fuel in such a short time. Most guys only get 3-5 gallons before the motor or something else major pukes. After 7 gallons the motor is just as strong as it was on day one, the tranny is holding up well, and the front diff is still original! The rear diff puked it's bearings after 4 gallons or so, but all other major driveline parts are the factory originals. Now hop-ups and bling on the other hand..........................I don't even want to guess at how much I've spent......................

I did a jump over one of the smaller ramps and landed a bit nose heavy on the concrete and my titanium front skid let out a shower of sparks. That made it ALL worth while :) SignatureDan > I did a jump over one of the smaller ramps and landed a bit nose heavy on > the concrete and my titanium front skid let out a shower of sparks.

The cylinder head emitted a huge array of sparks. It's 7075 T-6 Aluminum and hardly even had a scratch on it! >> > LOL how much are these savages on average? >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> > Is that invested in upgrades or repairs? I haven't spent much at all on repairs really, way less than 50ukp. Upgrades and mods however... Well... SignatureDan |
