I'm trying my ring off to backflip my aftershock ! For some reason I can't get a full revolution. In other words I keep landing on my roof. This is getting to be expensive as I have gone through two fuel tanks, shock tower posts etc. HOW THE HECK DO YOU GUYS DO IT ??? I'm trying :first_place:
 
you mean WOT or WOFT :hehe:
Incase he doesn't know it stands for widde open throttle. I just learned that :whhooo:
 
Ok how bout front flips? What just mash the brakes? I thinking ur going to need enough air time tho? I havent tried this yet but i want to!!!!:\
 
You can also help get it over by the way you attack the jump/ramp. Just before you get to the jump, let off the throttle then nail it again just before the truck reaches the peak of it.

Backing off the throttle when the truck begins it's way up the ramp will allow the front springs to compress more because there will be less weight at the rear because you are not accelerating. The key here is to pack as much compression into the front springs as possible so you can get the most out of them during rebound. When you nail the throttle just as the truck peaks on the ramp you are effectively moving more weight to the back of the truck at the same time the front springs are beginning to rebound. Keep your finger in the gas as it's in the air and you should see some improvement.
 
Thank you all very much. I will be definatly putting yours tips in and trying everything, even a front flip which sounds easier :first_place:
 
hi back flips are fairly easy just hit the ramp. whilst in the air open up full throttle until you do a full rotation when the wheels are facing the ground aply brakes until you are level if you want to check out my flips go un you tube and type in flip2 .

This is how did it when I bashed my Savage and Nitro Revo. I could easily do one with hardly any run up to the jump at all.

Ahhhhh...the good ole days.
