I went ahead and tried it, no issues and it looks much better!

Anyway, I ran it again today, was excellent! I got lots of video clips as well so I'll probably have a video uploaded to youtube and posted sometime tomorrow. Performs great though, jumps well from a properly made jump, but the jump I have in my bashing area has a good side and a bad side, off the bad size it wants to nose dive horribly and wont recover and ends up using the front bumper as a shovel when it lands, but off the good side it flies nice and level and lands on all fours with a soft thud and keeps on truckin'. Anyway, expect a video sometime tomorrow, probably in the evening.

(I'm sure you know this but I'm throwing it out there just in case)

hitting the throttle in air will bring the nose up, and hitting the brakes will make it nose down. It's due to the gyroscopic effect of the high mass tires on a MT, and is quite extreme with brushless. (thats how people get front flips, and double backflips and what not)

Maybe it's just a small jump on the "bad side" and you don't have time to correct, but using the throttle/brake in the air can save almost any off kilter jump. Almost.............

Sorry if you knew this, but i didn't know until I read it. Looking forward to the vids!!

Yep, I race so I know alot about air control. It usually has the nose down flight attitude off the "bad side" of the jump when I hit it going full throttle and I cant give it anymore throttle to make it rotate quickly enough. If I hit the jump at about 5/8 to 3/4 throttle, then I can control it a bit better but the bad side of the jump seems to kick the back end up really far and it's too extreme to recover from. No biggie really, a bit of suspension tweaking (adding some more rear preload or thicker rear shock oil) would probably help, or not hitting the jump at full throttle...

I'm still debating if I should include all of the crashes and bad clips in my video..... maybe a bloopers video, too?

Just finished clipping the video together and such, so I will be uploading it soon. I'll keep it a surprise though, no hints about any cool clips in the video....

Video!!!

Enjoy

And remember, it is undergeared, so don't expect any land speed records in the video, but its fast enough to get some great air off a somewhat small jump.




(Sorry about the screamo towards the end, I edited out what I could of it.)
