Some small FG MB Pro jumps...
Spent Satruday making a ramp. Turned out well. It's big enough and fits in my car. Seems plenty strong. I'll get a bit more aggro with it next weekend. Enjoy...

I'll update the link with the 'high quality' link as soon as it's available.

It's all about the take off. If you take off with no throttle, it nosedives, if you take off with too much, it lands on it's ass. It;'s a balance. The angle is perfect, it's just a case of being on medium gas as you leave the ramp. In other words not slowing down or speeding up. As you know we can't control the in-air attitude of these things., but as you saw, it wasn't hard in the end to land perfectly flat on a few of em.
I will be hitting it at some speed next weekend. It's not a good example that vid, I was mainly testing the ramp's durability.

Nice, love to see the big scales airborn.
You know what I find so funny? It seems that 9 out of 10 times these big rigs seem to find a away to tumble and roll back onto the rubber side after a bad landing.

I have to fit it in my car man. It's a small car. And in December, I will get an S2000, so things will get worse. :S

It's a VW polo 16v right now. Yesterday I managed to get three guys (including me), three large scale cars (the Viper!!! the FG, AND the Thunderbolt), AND the ramp, AND the tools, AND a bag of controllers, chargers, etc. Amazing... It's already lowered 80mm as well. It was almost dragging on the road! lol. Fun though.
