Cool. I can't wait to see the video. I tried some low speed jumps in my back yard and it tends to drop the nose a bit. Staying on the trigger a little after launch will make it jump level. The stock suspension does pretty well. I can drop it about 3-4ft without the chassis slapping so I'm pretty sure it can take the big air jumps I'm planning for it. I think the shocks will be the only weak points on this truck.

Also, could you please post when the Baja adapters are available? I really want to slap a set of Baja wheels with the new Badlands tires on this truck!

I'll see if I can get Dewmerz to bring out his video camera this weekend. I'm uploading some vids of my E-maxx to youtube right now and I'll post the links when I'm done.

Here ya go. My jumping technique has gotten a lot better. :)

Video camera will be charged and ready to go. I'm ditching work tomorrow so if you're up for it let's go. HB LS2P needs the tires re-glued and a quick review of the chassis to see if anything is bent but I'm ready to go.

Sweet, let's go tomorrow, I'm sick of working on my house.

Don't forget to add more cushion for your receiver and extra heatshrink on your bullets. I doubt anythings bent...your truck is tough!
