I run GS dual rate springs. I run soft maing springs in the front with medium short (top) springs. In the rear I run medium main springs with hard shorts.

In buggies I kinda match the oil to the spring setup.

speed bumps arent good jumps and that's your problem.

This is true. I had thought about taking her off some insane T-Maxx killing jump but seeing my new toy with parts making a beautiful arc across the sky doesn't see like too much fun, wait did I just say arc of parts. Let me find a real jump and we'll see.

Correction, pieces of parts.

That won't happen Go TRY and break your damn buggy

 

[El Pirata]

:wban: That's a cool smile. It has nothing to do with this post but it was still a cool smile. I will try to break it, just for spite.

 

[SilentGTboy]

Hey we gots a new smilie :thumbup:
Nice way to scare the crap outta me bud! No comment. Who owns the camera that you make videos with?

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

Silent - he doesn't get it yet. Yet!

El - Really man, go and take it off a mans jump, like try jump 1:1 cars with it or something of the such. Trust me!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SilentGTboy]

Speed bump are the worst thing to try and jump, such a sissy jump. And you say you break everything you touch :LoL: Launch it off a jump atleast 3 feet tall!!

Silent- Do us all a favor and :no_commen !

 

[SilentGTboy]

:shrug: ? What did I do. PM me if you feel the need and please explain. :\

 

[El Pirata]

I have one but I think it's dead, however Sky has one, but he's been really busy lately, as well as Error, but Error lives 5 hours away. Hopefully this coming weekend we'll make a cool video of my inferno going down like a blazing inferno.

I for one dont joke around with silent anymore because last time I said something slightly out of place (as a complete and utter joke.. and i thought that was fairly obvious ) he took it fairly seriously....

But that aside.... I agree with him in what he's said.... if el pirata is the master of breakage, whats with jumping the speedbump?

man trust me.... these buggies (especially yours) will take a lot more beating than a sissy maxx before it gives up.

get a real ramp, and get some real air. see where your hard earned money actually went.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but i've been psycho jumping for a little while now - and I can tell you that a little engineering in the ramp department goes a long way - as opposed to (imo) a lot of engineering in the car department going not-so-far in terms of solving the problem.
:idea:

-edit-
here's a sample. I know you've seen these silent, but i havent seen these other guys on maxxtraxx/hpi so i'd guess you guys haven't.

The ramp:

The air:

what was that about actions speaking louder than words, below? :hammer: hehe

I understand completely where you are coming from, however the speed bump is not what I would call a jump but it was where I was testing my new toy at. Actions speak louder than words...

I just didn't have one of those jumps at my disposal this weekend. I'll find one this coming weekend so Sky, my roommate and I can go bashing. Maybe put my little buggy to the real test.

 

[SkyMaxx]

As crazy as we get with our MTs, uDi, we have never quite launched them to the heights that your buggy pictures show. THAT is some impressive air, and I for one am anxious to see if Pirata can both break his buggy and catch some air like that at the same time.

Pirata, you know I don't go bashing without the camera. It will be there.

I'm totally humbled here. I hope I can get some air like that when we're out bashing and don't break it on the first try. I know how Sky films and the camera does not come out until after my trucks are broken.

 

[Team 17]

Udi- What was the damage after that jump in ur pic? And what buggy is that?

Might not look like much, but, I could have cleared two of the Cadi's, and, I did this jump 18 times in total and not one loose part, much less, broken....

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

probably no damage. I have jumped my buggies that high many o time.

 

[Team 17]

Do u land on ur tires? There has to be some minimal damage.

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

you would be surprised what a good 1/8 buggy can walk away from!

 

[robriguez]

Even if you land tires first....theres no way you can keep the body from slamming into the ground. Theres not enough ground clearance.
