volunteers? :D

Yes, No. Lol.
I think thats Greg Hoddapp? Confirm anyone?

bert digler 27-07-2006 07:59 PM

Sure, it's Josh Cyrul and yeah, notice it's only the garage he clears using a b4 with a lipo and brushless. Piece of cake but I reckon with a big run up.


*edit* - GRAMMARATED (in a fashion).

and a bin bag for the landing aftermath

jimmy 27-07-2006 08:35 PM

Yea I jumped my b4 big style and it broke in half. so, maybe something else would be better :p

bert digler 27-07-2006 09:09 PM

They only break when you land them upside down on the back shock tower. I know because I have done it. Hahahaha.

*edit* - GRAMMARATED. :)

jimmy 27-07-2006 09:17 PM

Nah, land 'em from high enough and they will break no matter how they land! :)


*edit*- SLIGHTLY GRAMMARATED (heh).

bert digler 27-07-2006 09:18 PM

PS. I didn't jump my house, just smashed the back end off doing a mega jump. You know, 14ft in the air. Anyway, if you want to do it, use an original rc10 worlds because I never broke even one of those alloy chassis delrin arms. Indestructable, they just handle crap:D

*edit* - GRAMMARATED (muaha!)

bert digler 27-07-2006 09:20 PM

Jimmy, face it, you can't jump. Hahahaha. I broke one chassis in twenty years of racing. you to tweak ya throttle pipe

*edit* - GRAMMARATED (apart from the last sentence... =S)

jimmy 27-07-2006 09:23 PM

I meant to land on that huge down slope but I landed flat bottom on all 4 wheels, it just exploded.. broke motor, cells, esc, chassis.

bert digler 27-07-2006 09:25 PM

I know it's sacrilege but do it with your real rc10, it wont break, trust me mate, the new b4 sound sold now isn't any good for these old skool tricks.

Has anyone got an old car to donate at the telford national to try this feat of stupidity - we can jump the school and really piss off the nitro freaks.

p.s. Got any electrics etc.

*edit* - GRAMMARATED :)

well i've had the xxt with a 19t in jumping 25ft doubles at about 15ft up to flat bottom (clearing the landing for those who dont speak bmx!!) so i rekon with a brushless, 7cells and the right take off could clear a house easy.. oh and enough run up.

Can avoid it breaking into bits with stiff springs and loads of pack...

Josh Cyrul jumped his 8th buggy over his fence, and then his house;) There is a vid of someonme jumpuing the fence on the AE website

A load of the crazy boys were jumping the fences round Batley skate park at the National last month... there's a video uploaded to Google somewhere... I'll find it later.

Roundy was stood on the wall surrounding the skate park catching the cars... or deliberately missing them! I don't think there was a non-broken car going by the end of it!

k£v!n 28-07-2006 06:41 PM

i personally think anything a nitro car could do, a electric car could also do!

however one thing a nitro car is better at doing is landing :)

i think an electric car could do it just would end up broken as a result ! :D

Smack in a brushless, and some lipos and the car will do out you want LOL;)
