Man....I gotta ditch those pink tires....

That second picture of the white car with the black wing....nice one. FYI for anyone who doesn't know this track....there's NO WAY that car should be in the air....that's the front stretch their coming down...

....looking at the dust and debris trail it's leaving, it almost looks like it pulled a Mach 5 stunt from "Speed Racer" and pogo jumped straight up

Nice pics bro.

OK question....looking at these pics, specifically the ones of mine in mid air (pink tires)...can anyone explain why I seem to spend most of my time in the air sideways? I know one reason could be the jumps themselves or how you line the car up, but I know i was lined up properly.

Thanks for the input.

This just shows how rutted the track is.

Hit a ditch in the main stretch, and launched up in the air.

We've really gotta do something about that track.!

No, that honor was left for me

.

Its not easy to take 2 people out at the same time, I still have no clue how I managed to do it LOL.

I know I came down extremely hard on one car, but he just kept going, and while trying to clear a triple, nose dived into another, I took him out. Still no clue how I took the other guy out

Guys, using my IMAX B6 charger, I'm trying to cycle my batteries, but I'm getting an alarm after about 15 seconds or so. Anyone use the same piece of kit? I've got all the time in the world to do these right, so I don't need to power charge these things (Qaiz)

Took that last one extremely hard, dont know why LOL. It sure did look good

40FT in the air, then whack. I really need to slow down.!

Other than the wing, everything looks fine, will definately be out there this Saturday working on my Jumps, or breaking whats left of my buggy LOL.

Discharge it to 1V per cell, or 5V in total, let it cool down, then charge them at 0.5A.

I was in a hurry LOL, I dont normally charge at 5A, normally at like 0.8A or 1.0A.

I dont like using the " Cycle " feature for some reason, just manually go into the controls and discharge and charge them.

Thats the way I do it..
