backflips
I was never able to get real good backflips with the jato (2wd st's don't generate much gyration). So when i can pull a backflip off 3 ft of air with my t maxx it's good times. I also got asked that real smart question again today..."does that thing have a real engine??" nope....just a tyco true sound 
here's your sign.
Just wondering if anyone else shares my enthusiasm of backflips...

RE: backflips
On big jumps it seems all I can do is backflips. Its getting good to control em in the air thats sweet. Gas and brakes to get it to move in the air.
I use a picnic table with a 4x8 sheet of plywood on it. I can get 2 back flips off that if I get a long run at it.

RE: backflips
ive only tried a couple off 2dmaxxlst's ramp, the stock suspension was too soft so when i would land it would bounce and cartwheel or just flip over, they are pretty badass though

RE: backflips
lmao, sounds great. And why havn't you tried a backflip yet mr stampede?? This was the first time i actually got to take my t maxx out, on actual ramps and stuff, and i used to drive the jato at the skate park, so i tried the t maxx, and i hit my first backflip on the 3rd jump out of the bowl. Get to it!!

RE: backflips
I was doing them the other day off 4-5 of air. You just need to make sure that you hammer the throttle 5 or so feet before you hit the ramp. My ramp was only 2 feet high, and very crudely setup at that. Just practice on grass or something so you don't break anything.
