Status: offline 		i think i could keep it level in the air and land it flat, Mmmm that would be sweet if i drove off. How bout i attempt it for the sake of making a sweeeet video for the use of Redcat Racing. Maybe if i just destroyed the chassis they could hook me up with one of the new kits (or possibly a discount ?)since my electronics and probably motor would be fine. Dunno how realistic it is to ask this but if Redcat was willing to help me out a little, I'm pretty confident I could make this work(clear the train) the landing will be rough but id be willing to try with a little encouragement from the Boss man.

Status: offline 		You could email darin. But if he says yes you'd better have 3 or 4 cameras going (cameras on both sides of the train) to make sure you get the shot right.And you better be sure you can clear the train. And you have to think about legal action if you hit the train they will more than likely be abit upset. I think your nuts but if you wanna do it I'll watch the video for sure lol. I drove short train for 5 years 40 or 50 cars long thats a big drop and a long jump I see disaster. And I'd hate to see an avalanche be destroyed. It's a good truck.

Status: offline 		It would have to be a freight train, not one of the passenger trains for saftey reasons. I could smash it into the freight cars and it wouldnt even scratch the train. And I would definately have atleast 4-5 cameras going. I would calculate the trajectory down to the inch before i attempted it as well. Only got one shot.

EDIT - pics of the run up, launch/ramp site, landing site, and possible camera positions incoming soon, gotta go to class first
