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.

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

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

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.

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...

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!

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 !
