ORIGINAL: rusty basher
The rustler is a tough truck to conrol in the air. I would try to balance out your weight a bit and be careful. I landed a 15 to 20 foot high jump right on the back of my rustler and cracked my engine. It was a steep jump and I slammed on the brakes after takeoff and it wouldn't level out at all. Much unlike the monster trucks with those big tires.
Good Luck!!!
Yeah no kidding about tire size. The heavier wheel/tire combo, the more inertia. I can definitely whip my monster truck back and forth easier than my stadium truck. One thing that helps with my stadium truck is to be on the throttle a bit as I leave the ramp/jump. If I am off of the throttle before it leaves it will nose down and the brakes do nothing because they have nothing to work with. Get those wheels spinning just right and it will go level. If they are not spinning fast enough when you leave there will be no room for the brakes to help.
