Your best bet for doing the jump without destroying the car is the Tmaxx but I suggest fitting a roll cage. You'll need the structural help. If you fit the right upgrades(Aluminum bulks being pretty damn high on the list, but keep the arms plastic so if anything does break it's easy to replace), set the shocks up right and properly control it's attitude mid-air, a Maxx might just be able to land it unscathed.

If you're serious then it's for the best you use a Redcat. They're cheap enough to easily replace, which is a given since the car is going to shatter when it comes back down regardless of who made it.
As for actually doing it....eh I wouldn't. But I value the structural integrity of my RCs so take that as you will. But if you must, just scale one of those plastic BMX ramps up to about roof height, hit it at the top of the rev band in second gear and hope you don't hit someone suehappy when it comes back down.
dont put down what you dont own.
i have jumped my redcat tornado epx pro hundreds of times of those skate board ramps.
at the end of last summer, i wanted more hight! so i told my buddy to kneel behind the ramp and hold it at a steeper angle. nearly double its normal angle.
the 1st attempt failled as the buggy hit the ramp so hard it knocked it loose of my friend's hands!
2nd try he reduced the angle alittle. about 60 degrees. this time the buggy hit the ramp, went up it and flew nearly straight up. landed only 6-7 feet past the jump, as the steep angle caused it to go more up than over.
nothing broken or bent. tough little buggy.
Oh, the epx pro is the brushless version, and was running a 2s lipo. hitting the ramp at 30-35mph(i didnt have room for full speed) thats the speed of many nitros.
Here you go spouting off like I insulted your mother because I mentioned a buggy will shatter on landing a jump that high.
Do kindly re-read my post, you'll notice where I said it doesn't matter who made it. Redcat, AE, Exceed, Losi, they're all equally screwed jumping that high. If you still don't believe me, here's an AE RC8 getting very severely damaged by an extreme jump. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTOOIn6Pqpg&feature=related[/youtube]
Now stop acting like everyone's trying to hate on Redcat. It's bloody annoying. A buggy, doesn't matter who made it, isn't going to fare well pulling off a stunt like what OP wants. His best bet is a monster truck. His second best bet is something one can easily afford to replace if it's totalled.
