Default What jumps the highest?

I'm looking for an offroad truck that goes fast, and jumps a LOT higher than other offroad cars. Or should I just put longer arms and taller shocks/towers on my road car and jump that? (would it work?)

lol, you could make your on-road to an off-road but it wouldn't be good at all for jumping. It would be way too weak. I heard people jump their buggies quite high. Take a look at OFNA's buggies cause I heard there strong. They do have a great RTR called the 9.5 MBX.

You can do it with any good quality 1/8 scale buggy - it all depends on the driver and how you set it up.

That was a Kyosho Kania Edition.

Any car can jump high, very high... but most of them cannot land in one piece

jump height all depends on the angle of the jump. ever heard of projectile laws of physics?

Ofna PBS! Jump High! Go far! Drive away and do it again. I haven't quite hit the house height YET but my PBS has gotten reasonably close!

I have a PBS - I went to construction sites back in the US. You see those big dirt hills from the tractors digging. Some of the hills are 25 - 30 ft high. I ran my PBS up one of those and the PBS launched another 20+ft into the air. Did not land well, but nothing broke. Thought it would never stop cart wheeling. I love the durability of the 1/8 scale buggies.
