I tell you guys what, Theres nothin' quite like jumping the K8. Its like launching a microwave 10-15ft in the air at 20MPH lol.
I had to build additional support under the middle of the ramp cuz one of my K8 jumps I hit the ramp fast enough that the shocks bottomed out and the front end almost...
I need a wider ramp. I thought 3 ft wide would be enough but I should have made it 4ft wide or wider. Just for the fact that the K8 for example runs well and straight through the grass but the bloody thing is about 2ft wide so you're lucky to have 6-7 inches per side to spare. Smaller kits like...
Its already claimed its first 2 victims. Both my K8 and my K4 have been temporarily sidelined lol. Still trying to nail a double backflip off of it with the K4 lol. I'll try to get some video of the K8 especially after I replace the rear tie rods...they are looking a bit mangled lol

A friend of mine helped me build one and I'm working on building a second one to put side by side with the first one. I built one thats 2ft high 4ft long and 3ft wide but its not wide enough hence the second one to put side by side. I still need to paint the ramp to help weather proof it and I...
