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.
