Yep, Oh snap! That was me, first one to break something plastic. Broke an A-arm. Went to als, bought a whole set front, rear, upper lower.

Car ran great though once warmed up. VERY quick. OS30vg + buggy = not fast enough for me. I want faster!

Now I guess I need to send this thing it for porting.

60mph+ is not fast enough! Cops clocked it at 53mph in what is basically the scale 1/4 mile, I want 70mph or so out of it, close, but that extra 10 will cost alot. Full porting on the OS 30vg I imagine to get that out of it.

Oh yeah just want to add this to the post. The week of the Hobby Expo (oct 21-22) we won't be at the bash, but instead at the Expo. Though if you aren't at the Expo i hope people still come out to the bash. Great fun to be had.

Jammin 1, Tree Nottin! Man I did I hit the tree hard! Hit so hard the branch the buggy landed on threw the car back at me. Like something out of a cartoon!

After that I got the tree killer syndrome out of my system and didn't feel the need to obsessively hit the ramp so hard each time.

Hitting a 18" wide ramp at 40mph+ when with a 6" curb on each side of the ramp REALLY makes you aim for dead center.

Missed the ramp once, caught about 1/4 of the chassis on the side of the ramp, just enough to avoid the curb and it tossed me HARD, rolled, spun, flipped, and eventually cartwheeled my way right into the tree trunk. Buggy hit with a resounding THUNK. Broke the shock end-cap and nothing else. Thought I did some serious damage but lucky.

Saw Tims new Violator/MBX hybrid for about 3 minutes as the bump box died and he wasn't able to start the buggy back up to finish break-in.

Oh yeah, and I got a Revo w/18tm. But I'm gonna sell it to add another Truggy to my collection. I have a bump box coming soon as everything I own is based on a 1/8th scale buggy so the same bump box will work for them. They are all Jammin's pretty much.

OS go ZOOM! Damn did I hit the ramp hard! The tree branch we normally hit I almost flew right over it. Probably about a 70ft jump, if no tree there I probably would have covered 70+ no problem.

Good times, even though I still can't feel my fingers. COLD!!!!

Can't wait to do it again next week.

No one had a camera going. (crying).

I'm so glad I put the dace skid plate on the back. Hitting the ramp so hard really gouged that skid plate up bad! Course, thats what I bought it for. I just wish it was titanium for the sparks. Would look cool.

When I hit the ramp full bore the first time some new guys at the bash just about dropped their jaw and cried, "holy shit!"

The BIG AIR!!!!!!! JUMP


It was "SICK AIR" on Thirdgen's Part.
It was the farthest we have seen a BUGGY fly!
The tree did not stand a chance. It was naked of leaves already.
It was cold so even a branch broke off on the first attempt when he hit it.
But the 2nd attempt was INSANE!
He hit the ramp at FULL speed!
Everybody's Jaw hit the ground!
And when it hit the tree.It bounced back away from the center of the tree
It looked like it was climbing down from the top of the tree branch by branch.
It had to be at least 20-25 ft up in the middle of the tree.

He had to have jumped from the ramp to the tree a total distance of at least 70 ft.

SixV6Camaro was even impressed!!!!!!!

It was the highlight of the day!

The buggy survived but he didn't want to try it again at that speed!

OS.30 off a ramp in a light weight Jammin' Buggy spells (SUPER BUGGY!)
TOO bad I was busy trying to start my buggy or I could have caught it on Video.
It figures the one time a great moment happens (NO VIDEO!)
I did see it ! idea
I've seen him do some crazy stuff but this one took the CAKE!

Someone bring a camera, either I'll hit the ramp and get a spectacular jump, or I'll miss the ramp and we'll get a spectacular crash. Either way, Spectacular!

Sunday's going to be cloudy, with a balmy 53* high, and a low of 36*. Bring something warm to drink.
