RE: HOW FAR CAN YOU JUMP YOUR TMAXX?
I jumped mine about 30 ft...put one of those plastic skateboard ramps at the top of a hill and I did a flip in the air, it was pretty cool. I did that today but last week I tried it and it busted the front bulkheads, steering bellcranks, stock skidplate, and bent all four front shock shafts. I replaced the bulkheads with aluminum ones, my A-Arms are RPM also. I finally drove away in one piece with the aluminum bulkheads. [8D] well I did end up breaking my muffler mount but otherwise I didn't bend or break anything.

Me too, I went to ToysRUs, and bought one of those plastic ramps. It works good and it's light to carry it around. When I want even more air, I shove a couple of boards under it.

I regularly take my truck to the bmx track and clear the 30' triple's as well as the dirt jumping spot and clear a big 30' jump as well as smaller ones

I think the jumpin is really limited to your truck, if you can jump and land on a sloped surface on all 4's it's not nearly as hard an impact as landing on flat ground. Wish I knew how to put up some video I got some sweet stuff I was doing yesterday, basically a 20ft. halfpipe made of dirt at a construction site. I had no worries at all about landing, it was all semi-soft dirt everywhere.
