I like the way you set up your jumps - they are very REASONABLE!. For me part of the scale realism that goes with this hobby is to have landings that an actual MINI-HUMAN would survive the G-forces. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the guys the jump crazy limits - because they help push the aftermarket to make stronger parts and help us know what holds up and what does not. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you. I'm not impressed with just sending it and seeing what happens. I like challenging myself to hit the landing after controlling it in the air. To do called stunts, like a backflip, a double backflip or a backside 180, and stick it and drive away. That takes driving skills and is never ending, like doing aerobatics with an airplane...
Hi Sam, thank you for your very informative and easy to watch videos. A couple of questions - what is your recommended GPS unit? Also when you do your jumps how do you keep it "flat" and not nose or rear down when "flying" - do you have to push to reverse to flatten it out - sorry I am still waiting for my batteries so can't try anything on my new Xmaxx yet.
Hi. Whoa, you got an Xmaxx? Nice! I use the Garmin Foretrex gps. It's the inertia from the weight and speed of the wheels and tires that affects the truck in flight. Brakes tips the nose down, throttle lifts or rotates the nose up. Good luck with your Xmaxx!
Hi Sam ..nice jumps you have there ..I would like to know your differential fluid setup you have for your front and rear ? I have my Xmaxx setup to 100K in front and 130K in rear , in center I am set at 20 mill , my Xmaxx likes to get a lawn dart and having problems trying to correct in mid air
Love the videos Sam, you provide some awesome information and detail. Im hoping you can list off what you had to buy to get that Traxxas Link set up you have with the phone app. I have the Traxxax #6511 TQI Link on the way but im seeing you need other sensors and such possibly. I just got both my XMaxx's but have not run them yet as I am waiting on batteries and such. Also have a Rustler 4x4 VXL on the way. Thanks for the info!!
Thanks. The 8s Xmaxx & the Maxx come with telemetry from the factory. The only drawback is mph is calculated from motor rpm, gearing and tire size. Might be true for Erevo 2.0 also. I don't have one. For full house telemetry using GPS "how to", watch this video... ua-cam.com/video/LLAzMh1iH0Q/v-deo.html
18/46 is a fine all around setup, but 20/46 gives me wheel speed for back flips. But, it will overheat in tall grass or with lots of hard starts and stops...
I don't understand your video much. I use a stump in my back yard and a 2' run-up to do a backflip every time. These trucks will do a flat land backflip without much effort. However, I do like the detail you put into your vid.
It's rather simple. Your stump is steeper I'll guess, and you're pulling tons of traction off the bark at that sharp angle. Yes, I've seen guys do backflips off a curb. This 45 degree ramp is a different story. From the approach angle, thru the transition and up the launch angle it's designed for height, not rotation. So the height and distance is predictable. But the rotation only comes from wheel speed. I appreciate you watching and commenting. You should build a ramp and try it. Tons of fun...

Sam Thank you I love your intricate view of the xmaxx. And I learn always with your videos. Keep going brother!!
Thank you. Pass it on I say. I've learned from others too...

@@chilly7261 many thanks for all your info, much appreciated. 👍🏻👍🏻
I have a nice stand for it 😳. Pry did not know but my old one got stolen from the owner now amongst everything else he owned
Ouch...

@@chilly7261 Thanks for the reply! I just need to add the 6511 to my remote, correct?
Is it okay to use the 18/46 and what made you do 22*/46?
