jumping the hyper 7!

[OFNA buggy basher]

yEsterday I built a jump for my nitros. Today i decided to see what i could do with the hyper 7. First jump was flawless. Second was the same. On the third jump things go very wrong. Hit the jump to far to the left side did some spins and a flip and landed right on the left bottom a-arm. Ran over to see the damage and it turns out i only bend the rod holds the arm onto the car. Anybody know what this peice is called. It goes strait throught the lower front arms and contects to a metal peice infront. Sorry for the lack of knowledge i just got the hyper and dont really now anything about the parts. Anyway I'm just curious as to what the part is called. Also how wide are the jumps you guys are using? Mine is 28 inches. Am i just a terrible driver or is it on the small side. Thanks in advance.

Lol thanks diver.

So how wide do you make your ramps?

 

[vbgagnon]

Mine are 12-15ft wide. The width of our lanes.

 

[OFNA buggy basher]

You make any wooden ramps? Ya I'm assuming your talking about the dirt ones at your track.

That may be a Turnbuckle.....

I have a plastic ramp and it's just 2 feet wide....
so... you gotta improve your skills a little....
that's all....

good luck!!!
