Hill Jumping with my T-Maxx

I got a little more air this time (about 8' of air). I'm gonna work on the ramp today so I can get even more air!

The air seemed a heck of a tad lower than 8' too, more like 6 feet. It sounded like your t-maxx was not winding out like it should. Try leaning your engine a hair and see how she goes.
 
Thanks El Pirata! I leaned it out and now have alot more speed and power. On asvalt or a smooth track, it runs at about 250-280. It always seems to run hot when jumping the hills and running on rough terrain or grass though. I am getting a good smoke trail through the full throttle range, but it still overheats if I'm not dumping a little raw fuel on the rough terrain.
 
Figured out my problem!
I was suckin air through the O ring under the carb.
New Video: Running better and jumping higer now!

Any comments or suggestions?

El Pirata, thanks for the suggestion on leaning it out more... It got me to look closer for cause of my overheating prob.
