Exactly!!! I might have to go do another dyno run though. I'm now double stacked with with a Smarty programmer and a Quadzilla X2. On paper it should top 500/900 (but thats assuming some of the programming doesnt duplicate effort, which they do on some parameters). But I'm fairly certain I'd send tranny parts into the next county if I cranked them both up. Adding the second box really made the truck smooth, and cut down on the black smoke. I was really getting self conscious about fogging out every intersection even going easy on it.

Back on topic - you showed a curved ramp. Is that really better given what I'd like to do? Seems to me that if we were setting up ramps as jumps on a makeshift course, having ramps that induce back flips would be quite distracting!

I think I'm going to stop at Sears tomorrow and buy a couple of those. Maybe I can figure out how to join them side by side to make some thing this old guy can hit. Might be able to take a third one - and cut off the sides to use to join them together (use a couple zip ties through some holes in them).


Losi 8T 1.0, Savage Flux - XL style, LST XXL, Muggy, 3.3 E-Revo Conversion and sitting outside 425hp, 831 Tq Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel. It SMOKES
