Well, I made my ramp with the idea of my RC. But I went over board with tis strength, I can jump it on my bike, scooter, skateboard.... All those things. It can support my weight going like 20mph easily. I'm pretty confident my ramp would survive an E-maxx.

Why do all these ramps go up so steep? I'm used to dirtbikes and if you whent off something like that (and you're not travis pestrana) You'd kill your self! Anywhay is thier a prepose besides insanity?

You get way better launch. Actually the main thing id the curve. If you have no curve and a steep jump, the preload will be tettible and the jump will be bad. With a curved steep ramp, the preload is good and it's steep, so you get more air.

yea the jump is steep but you get some sick air off of it, which is fun. i want to try to land a backflip but i can't really figure it out. any tips on how to make a 2wd truck (jato) backflip off of my jump?

The only thing you can do is go about 2/3 throttle, then right before you launch, floor it as good a you can and hold it and you'll do a backflip, but you might wreck wile getting the hang of it

Don't hit it to fast just fast enough to get enough air to complete the spin. In a jato I don't think you want to hit it at 2/3 throtle that might be obsesive. But i drive electric so not realy the same.
