So come on then guys whats the most hang time you'v got out of a jump . Mines about 2 and half seconds . Any pics or vids ?

Any gone majorly wrong and made you pull that face where you breath in and scrunch your face up in desperation that you haven't broke yet ANOTHER thing on your rig lol .
 
i really don't hit jumps often enough, but i definately make the face, i did it 2 days ago when my tmaxx started doing cartwheels at full speed into a rock pile. i shattered my rear knuckle into many pieces
 
two and one half seconds huh?

I am by far no mathmatics kinda guy. but as i figger... that would be equal to about 144 meters of vertical traval. So 72 meters vertical and 72 meters back down to earth. Thats impressive.
 
Here's my buddy and his son getting a little airtime.

This was me pulling some air, I lost signal half way down and yes, my face was scrunched when it happened, AND while I was running to shut the screaming beast down, AND especially when I saw the outcome of the crash..... Stupid spektrum cost me TVP's, a few exploded shocks, smashed fuel tank, broken arms and a handful of other parts... second worst crash I have had with that radio due to losing signal and the "fail-safe" failing lol....

that second video lanch was hugh. are those mostly Savages in the first vid? they sound like Big blocks.
 
Yes they are all savages except for the baja at the end of the first vid. No broken parts in the first vid either, the XL is completely stock, tough as nails.
 
I bet the guy that jumped his house with the buggy is prolly one of, if not the most hang time with a rc that had a successful landing.
 
Well, I just watched the 137.3' jump with an RC8, and it looked like he was only in the air for about 4 seconds.
 
Bajas have been known to go big

You kinda guess it i suppose it seems like a long time in the air but it probably isn't and you can't beat it when you land a jump perfect . The satisfaction lol . My dad said he used to have a few really old one's and wanted to have a go on mine . I reluctantly let him and what thanks do i get broken front skid plate , bumper bulkhead and shock tower . Nobody touch's my rig anymore lol .

I wonder what broke on that baja? That was pretty sweet!

In the comments he says he blew a stock spur gear. Those dune guys get pretty crazy, sure looks like fun though. There's a Dunetoberfest vid on youtube of the big air comp, there's some pretty good carnage in there of 100+ footers getting augered in :D

Also, you need to build a pipe for the Bajas!! Please?
 
I think the longest jump I had was from a tab on a receiver pack popping off in my Jammin CRT X1 and basically turning everything off (naturally at full throttle). Up a hill...through some tree branches over the tomb in my back yard and upside down in the pile of rocks on the other side. Not very good for a freshly broken-in engine to be running full bore un-loaded. Damn battery pack did not even let the fail-safe do it's job. So I say it was about a 40 foot distance jump.....nothing broken other than a scuff on the cooling head. LUCKY!
 
I had an old t maxx that i sent flying off the cliff into the california coast. got 4 back flips in before it landed in the ocean. havent seen the truck since. they prolly had it wash up in japan.lol
