Here are a few pics from today speed gunned my ZX5 at 70 MPH then jumped it was really funny till i got home and looked what it was going to cost to repair it :035:

HOLY !@#$ that is some sweet airtime! haha! how did the lipos hold up after you landed?

[jnev]

Holy sh*t!!! Thats crazy!! Should have gotten some video of that. :027:

How high do you think it was, and how far?

[Sean]

lipos are fine all though i have had one blow up in the past after doing simlar jumps.

not really much of an idea about how far or high id guess at about 70 foot its on video from two angles [plug]will be on the TM DVD[/plug]

[zeropointbug]

Looks like 30 feet air to me.

Hey Evil Canevil!

HOLLY!!!!!

DAMN! thats INSANE!!!! whats the damage? bessides what we see? lol

[Sean]

maybe its very hard to tell from that angle only measured a jump once and that was 70 foot (measured on the ground with a tape measure the jump is at the end of one of the TM DVD trailers) and it was going slower then thats what i based my guess on.

The damage is by far the worst ive ever done and ive done jumps this big quite a few times with it now but normally on to flat concreate this was like rubble and quite bumpy.

off the top of my head:
both shock tower
chassis
top brace
slipper shaft
drive shaft (which i bent back)

I honestly lol

It's a car not a plane ;)

[bdebde]

Serious hang time!

Gotta see some video of that!

It's a bird, it's a plane, no wait it's an RC car!

Pretty sweet man! Question; is that a 2 speed I spy:dft012:? I saw some of those on ebay a while ago...

Bye:018:

[captain harlock]

You surely had some ACTION with this Kyosho buggy.
Is that a XL motor or L size one?

[Sean]

yes it is a 2 speed got it of ebay

Its an s can i think dunno what turn cant remember 5cm long if someone would like to confirm it.

[skellyo]

5cm would be a S can motor

That's awesome man! That air looks like a lot more than when (I believe Josh Cyrul) jumped the house with his 8th scale!
