Default savage backflips

hi all, i just did a backflip with my savage by accident. i was trying to go over a piece of framing on the swingset, it angled back a bit so i gave it full throttle( i tried before but it just got stuck on it) and lo and beholed a perfect backflip on to its wheels. i tried again and i guess it was a one time deal. the only other time i did this was with a plane doing a loop. man i wish i had a video of it so i can post it. all i can say is i meant to do that[sm=lol.gif].

nice,
i did a backflip on accident also. i was doing a little bit of hill climbing and was going at WOT and i hit this little jump and it did a full backflip before i even knew it. after seeing this, i made a ramp and tired to do it again but no luck. i'll wait till i get more jumping experience till i try it again. my body is getting thrashed on it landing on its back quite a few times.

Dumping the truck over is fun until you start screwing up bodies or tearing up the head if you're one of those that cruise around without the body on. The HPI wheelie bar is $20 and will prevent this from happening.

Once! by accident and NOT on video. My son can vouch for me though. Some strange things happen all the time. Iwish I had video of all my tanks of fuel! Checkout Savage Barrelroll on my vid site. NO sound! I gotta take the vids with digi cam. Quicktime movies. They're crappy but i got the proof![link]http://www.putfile.com/uncgreg[/link]

Yeah, and I like driving my truck, not stopping to put it right side up everytime I nail the throttle. It's also easier to ride out those wheelies with a bar back there.

For backflip fun, find some big/heavy tires. You'll have a ton of control in the air.

Keep the throttle pinned until the flip is complete.
