You can or you cant? If you cant, maybe your not using the right kind of ramp, or it is too heavy for some reason... I dunno.

these goes to every car owner that can't make his car jump well:

the ramp should always be bigger than the car, at least 5 inches.

i made this ramp with my brother for an lst and a jato, i just have to wait for the cars to arive, ill make sim videos

put the pickle to that bad boy.[8D][8D]

i can get the LST to launch quite nicely off a 16" ramp. but be very careful when landing though. those stock a-arms are very weak.

on my third jump attempt i came off a little wrong and landed on the one rear tire and it snapped the arm right off. get the RPMs, and get rid of those big ass tires too. will eliminate a little weight and make it go better

yep, buy the rpm arms, or you could by the stock ones again, so it would be better if you buy the rpm, or your last choise is to buy alum. arms.

If you cant get the LST airborne, then there is only one solution... FIND A BIGGER RAMP!

This should do the trick.

Go to http://www.slapmafro.com/

There is actually a video showing them jumping nitro cars (trucks & buggies) off one! Only a "taster" video though, just to leave you wanting more! They show stills of the trucks going off the ramp, there is no "actual" footage of the trucks jumping.

Go to "new videos" and it is the video at the top.
