I got a Jato with a OS .21 RG and I need tips for successful jumps.

keep throttle control in the air. If the nose is pointing down apply some throttle if it is high in the sky then tap the breaks to level it out. and just make sure u hit the ramp lol. Its nasty when u half hit the ramp and come smashing down onto the ground on your side lol

Jumping a car isn't that hard, you just need to hit the face of the jump squarely, and land shiny side up.
You need to line up your car before it hits the face of the jump; it needs to hit the jump absolutely straight, with none of the wheels slipping. Keep this in mind.
You can alter your car's attitude when it's in the air by pushing or releasing the throttle. Because of the inertia of the tires, more throttle makes its nose go up, less throttle makes the nose go down. If it needs be, you can even jab the brakes, which will bring the nose down rapidly. Note that in this phase, the effect of the size and position of the rear wing can be felt, a large, angled rear wing can prevent a car from landing nose-first. Also, there's a subtle difference between 4WD and RWD cars, they just react differently to throttle movements. A RWD car will rotate around its rear tires, a 4WD car will sort of 'float'.
Try to land on the down slope of the jump, if there is one, you'll be able to hit the throttle much sooner. A well set-up car will settle directly after landing, while a poorly set-up car will bounce around a few times before becoming stable enough to hit the throttle.

joydude630 - any way we can get pics of your Jato with that OS? I am working on one now to put in an OS .21 Did you mod the stock motor mounts or mod a big block motor mount?
