Great job man! I give it a 9.3......It sure is nice to see a video once in a while where the driver has control over his vehicle in the air. Props man.

hahahahaha, I love that blurb at the end.
Nice vid.
If you go through it slowly, you can see the
savage suspension completely bottom out
when it hits the ramp.

RE: nitro jumping in my front yard
thanx for the comments guys...except for u icrashthings, your gt would break just as easy if it had enough power to get up a ramp...................jk 
but seriously, drop it on one tire from a angle where the suspension doest do anything from that high and see what happens.... ull break something, this bias against nt's is uncalled for, associated trucks break just as often as losi, its not like associateds plastic is made out of some alien material that doesnt break...its just plastic.
and yea the savage bottoms out on the ramp, we had a smaller one that it actually smashed through..... it ripped the surface of this one also, few more times and it will break through.

Seriously...The xxx-nt's are weak for bashing(and im not the only one who thinks that, its actually a fact) They have so many weak points they should just stay on the race track because thats what they were made for. And no, People and magazines have done tests and it comes out the RC10GT is more durable then the xxx-nt(so actually it breaks less often then a losi), not because of the plastic, but because of the design on the truck itself. Now, your savage, well, thats like a tank that will never die cause they are durable then anything i have seen in my life.
Lets not argue about this, xxxnt's are racing, rc10gt's are bashing, savaghe is a durable MT. end.
PS-Make ramp higher.

RE: nitro jumping in my front yard
im more into onroad at the moment, so a higher ramp will have to wait till later haha....
i still disagree that the nt should stay on the track, because the rtr aint even race legal so its obviously not meant for racing.... the a-arms are thinner, so when u **** up **** breaks, same with the rc10 tho, ive never seen people with either truck leave the track with every part intact, **** breaks, just the rc10 needs to be going like 3 mph faster haha, but if u control it correctly u wont break anything....
also, the savage is like....crazy, i see that thing smack curbs at top speed and shrug it off..... only part my bro ever broke on that is a front a-arm when he first got it...funny thing is it was just a slight endo from like 5 feet up, and it broke right off....weird stress points on that thing

"the rtr aint even race legal" Yes it is, ever hear of a stock class? Besides, Alot of racing RTR ST's come with .15's(all u do is upgrade the engine and they can race!).
"the a-arms are thinner, so when u **** up **** breaks, same with the rc10 tho" No, the losi's a-arms are made thinner actually, sorry! Its for the weight on the truck, hence why the losi is a racers dream truck, or a bashers weak truck.
"ive never seen people with either truck leave the track with every part intact" If this were true then there wouldnt be alot of races finished and/or winners(1st place ppl).
Other then those everything u say are fine.
