ohh that looked like fun on the main straight there!
Just a thought, do 'we' need to try to design a bit more kick at the lip into the jumps to stop the back end coming up, quite so much. Very much like whats done to mtb and bmx jumps..? (very similar to the jumps they use at Taplow actually). I've got some thick plywood that could be used for the main brace part, but would need some light flexible ply to go over it... Anybody got any spare? |

Its worth a try! although not sure they need the extra kick, if you notice in the video first time over was with throttle on and the car came down on its rear, second time over was throttle off and came down on its front......all about getting the throttle balance right on take off and in the air.

Also these jumps are just ramp jumps. Terry (Streeter) is also doing a table top which will have a curved entry face to get some backflip action (joke!)

Neil and Terry, not dissin what you've done at all, just that it would make the cars fly better (off throttle) if we did add some kick to them.. As they do in the worlds of mtb and bmx jumps. Simple straight ramp jumps don't make life easy for you and as Terry said, its then about throttle control all the way thru... sometimes its nice and easier to just let it 'fly'
(yes I am an advocate of go big or go home!) |
