When RC Trucks try to fly...

[Mighty Dingus]

Seems like everyone want to fly these days. Whethere they're a plane or not. Apparently just a simple jump wasn't enough air time, so 'Hey, maybe a rocket will help...'

Sweet,

I laugh my arse off every time I see you guys do that!!!

The first one you did you toasted your whole T-Maxx didn't you? Something about the rockets ignighting the wrong way :)

Strap a Zagi to the top and it will never come down ;)

One suggestion, don't use such a steep ramp, seems to put some foward roll into every jump.

Gotta luv the T-Maxx,

T.

The reason for the forward flip isn't the ramp, it's because the rocket isn't centered along the vertical thrust line. It sits up a bit too high on the rear end because of the limitations of the mounting bracket. If we could lower it about 1/2", it'd be a lot more stable. Either way, it's fun.
