Jumping

[sperera]

Though I might ask before I go and try it myself.

Do the 1/5 2 stroke buggies level off in the air like the smaller nitro buggies if you keep on the power?

Just curious, might save some broken bits if I can get an answer before I try it myself.

Depends which ones and how you have them set up.

For example... 2 weekends ago i was racing my MCD Race runner against baja 5B and 5T.. They were soaring trough the air like superman, nice and level and just nice jumps...
I however was not that lucky.. I hadn't tuned my suspension in a while and the car just kept digging its nose in. At first i couldn't figure out why, but then i thought about is and it was my shock setup.. I'll keep you posted on how it goes..

they don't change attitude in the air like a 1/8 buggy. throttle or brakes will change things a tad but nothing like what a nitro will do.

thanks for the info.

yeah chris keep me posted.

would be good if they react like nitro, less stress on front of vehicle.

my leopard seems to react like my old hyper 7, if i wanted to land nose first i just tap the brake but if i need to raise the front i just flick the throttle. thats just my buggy others may be different so be carefull you don't reck it lol

I had a brief try over weekend, seems to react to throttle in air but very slowly, allot slower than my nitro anyway.

Was going to try bigger jumps but mate drove into mine (when I wasnt even using it at the time) and broke the steering arm!

Waiting for another one from Kellets.
