Wow,it looks to he jumping very nicely too! If you had a downside to land on it would land perfectly! Is that the stock setup?

I see a comment about blipping the throttle on youtube. I see the nitro guys doing it at the track with electric models also. Is it a nitro habit or does it have any merit to do it with an electric? I always thought driving smooth would be more consistent on a track?

It took me a while to stop bleeping the throttle when I changed over from nitro to brushless (saw the light). Now it really pi55es me off when I hear other people doing it with their EP cars.

I honestly don't think it has any merits (bleeping the throttle). It's just something that nitro guys do because they love making noise. Can't see it being of any benefit.

They blip the throttle in nitro because the motors don't have a smooth power curve and if you just floor it,the engine will start out slow then the clutch grabs hard at peak power and you spin out,obviously electrics don't need to do that.

[Gee]

That's a fast way to spend you income tax return. Around $1500.00 i'd guess. Looking at the 5b it looks like it would be ass end heavy but mine sure does the nose dive if you don't hit the throttle at the right time off a jump.

That is a bad case of the throttle blips though. lol It's a tough habit to kick. May need some intervention.

What kind of run times are you getting? Thanks for sharing

Heres more video. Camera angles are not that great but thought i would share anyways.
