I'm having troubles sorting out on why my 5T either wants to flip piss over kettle in mid air and do cartwheels in the dirt after a jump or it wants to face plant itself into the ground like a drunk pilot on a bad day. This became apparent even more on my last day out with it before I put it up for sale.

I know the body shell itself cause's somewhat of a "parachute" effect vs the buggy. I guess im also still used to how I could change my Savage Flux in mid air with a blip of throttle or brake and make a landing on all fours. Of course, that simply isn't possible with the 5T, as i've tried and I just end up slamming into the ground sounding like a pissed off bee.

I'm fustrated I can't jump my 5T as easily as I thought I could, especially after a Revo and Flux and its part of the reason I want to sell it. What am I doing wrong? What do i to change in my mindset of how to jump and land Baja's? Could also be my front mudflaps causing to much air resistance and making my landings unpredictable all the time?

Mine jumps fine, it is all in the throtle controll. They are controllable to some degree. Not like a 8th scale.

My Feedback: (55)

i think part of the reason is the brushless setups have such an emense force when you snap the throttle or let off that it has a much better effect on the rotation of the vehicle. th gas engines just dont respond as quick, especially when only stock. i think it also has to do with how much a 5th scale weighs and the fact that your only spinning up 2 stock sized wheels, vs the 4 big tires on a savage.

Yeah, its the gyroscopic effect.
