[bluenoseforever]

Spent all day with my savage yesterday-still getting used to it. tuning and idle settings ect-got everything ready then thought id take it bashing at the park-hell yea wot great fun we had i cant wait to get back there again-check out my 1st ever jump lol. I know its not alot but its the start of things to come..

 

[Upbasher]

YEAH!!!! Bash it up!!! Good, work, man

 

[bluenoseforever]

ha ha,nice 1 matey,i was scared to at 1st,but a wot the hell,wots the worst that can happen to it,lol.

 

[Upbasher]

To encourage you, you know the savage can take 10x that abuse you were doing, right?
You can jump it a LOT higher than that, just make sure to land on all four and you're good!

 

[bluenoseforever]

I will remember that for next time, hopefully I will land properly and not smash my shell to bits-lol.

 

[Upbasher]

I'd be more worried about engine mounts than the body. In fact I rarely ever run a body on my savage

 

[maximusraylius]

nice start. .get bigger air it can totally handle big air jumps. .watch some other videos of huge jumps you'll see these things are crazy tough ..

 

[Upbasher]

They're pretty much unbreakable as long as you land on the wheels

 

[bluenoseforever]

what is the best way to land on the wheels,any tips,lol.

 

[Upbasher]

Rules on how to jump.

Do not let off the throttle before you reach the top of the ramp and coast over it.....it will nose dive.
While in the air, give it throttle to make the nose go up, and brake to make the nose go down.
Thats all there is to it
practice makes perfect

 

[bluenoseforever]

cheers matey for advice,will try it next time i go bashing,i cant wait,lol.

Not true. :devil-smiley-007: I taken out shock rods by landing on 1 or 2 wheels.

Might want to point out as well, if you give it gas on landing you may take some gears out. :duh:

 

[Upbasher]

Yep be careful of that

 

[xclandon]

Ya hit I bigger jump! Its actually better on the truck bc u can control it in the air! Also make sure yoyr not doing any steering as u take off!

 

[Upbasher]

Awesome. Yes if you hit a really tiny jump they tend to nose dive a lot more

 

[bluenoseforever]

cheers lads thanks for tips and advice,much appreciated,now all i need to do is go bash my cars and see how it goes,cant fookin wait,lol.

 

[sharkattack99]

I know it almost a year old but oh well.
This is what happens when you land with throttle lol my back hit pretty hard as well.

 

[WoodiE]

Yeah, that's broken @sharkattack99!

 

[paull105]

Damn, bye bye gear.
What size jumps were you doing?

 

[Jam Racing 1]

ya those cast gears can't take too much abuse..... learn to let off before landing and they last a lil longer......

 

[sharkattack99]

Yeah I learned the hard way lol.

They were pretty high not insane but decent I believe my nose was down and I was trying to correct it well ran out of time.

 

[sharkattack99]

And I do believe this was part of it too. So don't land with throttle lol. That's a bullet proof gear too.

 

[Jam Racing 1]

not really anything "bulletproof", any part can be broken lol

 

[sharkattack99]

Yeah that's just what HPI Calls them.

I did this with a throttle-on landing. I'm sure the bigger tires were a contributing factor.
