controlling car/truck in mid air

[Heli Friend]

guys just wondering how do u control the car when jumping.best is to decrease throttle or increase throttle in mid air ? always land ur car back wheel first or front wheel or both at the same time?also want to know wat will happen if u increase or decrease throttle when the car in mid air.

I think that landing on two wheels will be better.

acc will lift the front of the car up

Its definately best to land on all 4's. But to get that right is not that easy..

when u are in mid air and your vehicle is diving nose 1st, rev full to make it rotate upwards... and when u see ur vehicle is facing the sky, apply brake to make in rotate forward.

and in mid air if you want your vehicle to turn left or right .. just turn the steering..

hmmm....thats a new school of thought.....so should i land on 1 leg when i jump and allow this leg to absorb more impact from the jump and hurt my spine?

[haowee]

type wrongly. I meant 4 wheels.

Not true for all. It's largely depends on the balance of the car. Some need minor throttle, some needs no throttle.

Best way to demonstrate without any risk is to lift up your MT at it's carrying brace. Those without carrying brace is a bit difficult.

Throttle up and you'll see the front goes up. Brake and you'll see the front dives down. That's how it will behave in actual flight.

agreed, every truck, buggy behave differently. placements of electronics (tanding, laid down) makes a diff in the weight balance of the car too. Not every time it means that after a jump, we have to throttle to let it remain flat, some trucks can jump and land flatly without throttle, some with throttle, so its a matter of trial and error, and may breaking a few things to find that out too
