Ok my rc pride has been challenged.. While goofin off last night jumping around in my T3 a friend who doesnt play with RC's bet me 50 bucks I couldnt get from point 1 to point 4 with out crashing..

Now if I lose, I lose nothing.. If I win I get 50 bucks..

I personally think I can do it and he said he will bring his video camera in to tape it.. so heres my basic diagram of the jump..

The red part is a shelving system. the brown is cardboard boxes.

Can I Do It??? Will fill ya in tommorrow LMAO with either pics or a vid...

MAybe.. All i know is that you better win or else your going to have to pay more than the bet itself in repairs.....

the width of all these boxes and the shelf is a good 4 feet..

So I should be safe from a unavoidable fall.. In theory and on paper.. ;)

I doubt you could do it. You might not be able to get enough speed to get from one box to another without the car nosediving. And if you get enough speed, you may overshoot. It really depends on the car. Test it out before you show him.

If you dont have to do it fast, put some weight on the back so it is even when it lands.

15 feet - 10 feet - 4 feet - ground...those first two jumps are a bit steep for a t3 don't ya think? if you do fall you can bet your sweet butt they'll be $$$ for repairs especially if you mess up the 10 footer!

well didnt go as planned lol..

we totally abused are rc's tonight and have video to prove it.. I will be editing this weekend and will have to find some space to serve it..

Lets say this.. One shot is of my friend and his 4tec jumping off a roof of our office(about 14 feet up) and thinking he could clear the towmotor below.. Didnt happen but its very interesting to see..

All in all there is some trilordy.com worthy stuff on this video. And all that we broke today was a spur gear and lost a screw..

There is some hardcore jumping on this vid cant wait for ya'll to see it.. Insane is all I can say..
