the videos on xtm's site show it going off some 3 or 4 foot jumps, combine that with the video i've seen in the review of it on this site make it seem to be able to do everything......some better than others though. the xtm videos also show it tearing around in reverse but it's not clear if it's an option or not, something about a box that makes a 2 channel radio capable of controlling fwd and reverse.
