Lets try this approach!..
 

Since all of the builds I was completing on building this coming year have been done: :no:
• Flying car
• Turbine powered RC
• UFO

Let’s try this approach! :yipi:

What is the world record for the longest jump by and RC car :neutral: Or better yet a turbine powered RC car? :wink:

If can’t build something new and outrageous, why not brake / shatter someone world record! / hopes and dreams.. :lol::lol:

I’ll leave the speed record to some one else!, :whistle: I want total glory or total failure / crashing at outrageous speeds into the mountain side completely disincarnating the RC if it fail to jump (bull dog cliff, or muff mountain).. :yes:

So does anyone now what the world record is or where I can even look for such a record??? :neutral:

Thanks guys…

It was almost a stadium... I'll have to find the you-tube but it was a long way....

Does that actually count as a "jump"? For one, it was unintentional, and two, I'd call it falling with style. :lol:

I agree dont you have to land it for it to be an actual jump. I could launch one of my trucks that far if I wanted to waste $500 lol

i send my trucks 65 feet all day long, and ive seen others jump fullsize fmx ramp setups just as i do at my house, so Your gonna have to go over a 100 thats forsure and youll prolly need 50-55mph to do it along with atleast a 6 foot ramp id suggest a 30-35 degree final angle other wise youll be going so high your never keep it on its wheels when landing.....

I've beaten that with a rocket-motor powered RC10GT. I think I took a video of it. I had a servo controlling the lighter and the lighter would light all the fuses at once. There was a total of 25 rockets on the car. I was running a rollcage. I clocked the car at 74 before it hit the ramp. It flew 192 feet.

did you drive away??? lol

Hydrogen fuel cell r/c? Maybe a scale hindenberg...zeplins are cool, and an r/c one would be really neat.

Large 5-10 stage rocket in a gutted touring car. You would probably be able to reach 70mph+.:yipi:

already done

how bout a 1/4-1/2 scale monster truck

How about a real car converted to RC?

OOoh I can do way better than that!. :yes: I know of grave yard for planes out in the dessert area, I was thinking of building a 1/5 4x4 that could jump well over 200 feet!, :whistle:

Longest motocross jump is 288 ft. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DpvI...eature=related


I think I might have something here!.. HAhahahahaa.. :wink:

Thanks for your imput guys..

You bet I can! :wink: :lol::lol:

I think it is feasible, but probably not with a very heavy 1/5. I think a front-weighted stadium truck would work better. Maybe put some wings on it?
@rootar
I did not have any electronics in the truck except for servo and RX, so no I didn't. :lol:
