hey guys tommorow im taking my rusty into the desert(1st time) i was wondering if there are any keys or tips on how to jump, and not mess up my car. i know my friend chipped a gear tooth, how does this happen??? how to avoid it. thanks any info will be appreciated.

first, when you hit the jump, don't keep the throttle on, don't turn with the throttle on (this doesn't apply to jumping but is a good rule of thumb), try to land on all 4 wheels, that helps to distribute the shock of landing. hope your jumping/bashing goes with out a hitch[8D]

thanks man

When landing form a jump try to stay off the throttle or brakes. As when you are on the throttle or brakes when you land it is hard on the drive train.

Throttle also has alot to do with how the truck lands. More throttle while in air brings nose uo. Less throttle to no throttle brings nose down. You will have to start out on small jumps to get the feel on how throttle controlls the car in the air. You can make it do what you want in the air. You just need to be quick with throttle and brake to controll it.

You guys all forgot the most important tip of all. Don't drive your car in sand!!! well you can but just clean it very good when your done. Sand is hard on your ballcup ends aswell as bearings and anywhere else it can get in.

well i drive on sand, and i love sand jump, so i bought some paddles.
