RE: the highest youve jumped.
My pede doesnt go fast enough to get a lot of air (Working on that
) but the highest Ive had is about 7 feet and then a good 10 foot drop. Thats 7 feet of air but a 17 foot landing.

RE: the highest youve jumped.
I hit my Mini-T against a curb at about 30mph the very first time I ran a Mamba 8000 in it.... yeah I miscalculated the braking distance..... Shot up 3 or so feet in the air after it hit the curb, then landed in 2 pieces.
Haven't quite topped that yet, but my brother has jumped his brushless Bandit about 3 feet high and more than 10 feet across off of a driveway/curb corner, landed ok.

Okay, maybe not.
I thought about jumping a train car...but never did it.
The biggest RC jump I have seen was somebody jumping a house, on a You Tube or Myspace vid. The RC even drove away afterwards.

25-30 feet. Rustler. Broke an a-arm, blew up all the shocks(not really. 1 shock popped the cap, the others just sprayed their contents out. 
), and a bent hingepin. lol That was after the third time of doing it, and I landed that on the front right a-arm. It turns out the shocks died from the other jumps.

RE: the highest youve jumped.
I honestly do not really estimate my air, but lets just say I just off of anything in my yard, piles of dirt, gravel, rock, dirt bike jumps, small mounds, the road becasue of hill/slope, etc...

And my Mayhem, it didn't go high, but it flew far. It hit so hard, it snapped the servo arm, thank god for MG servos. Total distance travelled was like 250 feet or so. I've never seen a car tumble for as long as it did. Pretty funny. I just installed a new servo arm, and went for test 2, but I realized I had destroyed the ramp.

RE: the highest youve jumped.
With my e-maxx maybe 8ft in the air and landed 25ft or so away from the jump.
My friend Pedebeater has done more with his stampede maybe 10ft in the air and landed 30 ft away.
My brother has done about the same as me.

RE: the highest youve jumped.
I don't really jump my RCs really, but thought this is a good pic since we are talking about jumps.. (that's probably a 4' of air from the ground?)
Note to self: Big truck jumps pretty high, don't stand in front of it trying to take pic the next time... LOL!

RE: the highest youve jumped.
