Jetstream,

Apply throttle until your car has fully left the jump. At first you may find the car will do the opposite, but after a while you'll son learn to reach a balance and let off the throttle at just right moment. Once you learn this you'll realise how beautifully the truck flies!

Just remember, big air looks cool, but the more time you spend on the ground, the more time you can spend accelerating!!!!!!!![/quote]

A huge tip.

Say there is a long Table top in back of the track. How do you make the decision of airing it out and clearing the jump....Or jumping short and running on the ground.

What would YOU do?

The jump has a good runup, but when its dry it can be tough....espicially with a truggy to clear. Do you take the straight for what is worth and then slow up just before the jump face and land on top to throttle across or do you keep your speed and make the huge leap 30+ ft through the air to land on the backside of the landing ramp. There is a 90* turn 5ft after the landing....with a burmed turn.

How are you builidng the shocks? What pistons are you running and what brand oil and weight?

I ask because I am running 1.4 and 1.5 straight pistions and Mugen 500 oil all around and my truck jumps great.
