its bad enough people sell shoe laces as scale tow straps, but this is worse. You could make 5 of these for the cost of 1.

"Extruded aluminum center rail and true LEXAN jump plates! THIS JUMP WILL LAST!"

Yeah, for about 2 minutes with a decent sized vehicle hitting it at any speed

My truggy probably would trash it 1st hit, and if in a grassy field would probably take me a few hours to find the ramp after

looked closer at it... My truggy would shatter that and send it flying a few hundred feet on the 1st jump attempt lol

Not so strong when you start drilling holes in it at the point that will be under the greatest stress. Lexan is just the brand name for a certain type of long chain polycarbonate; not all of it is ballistic grade.

Ahh cool, I still think it looks stronger than some plywood jumps out there


i don't see it working at all for a jump... I don't they thought that through.... But it does say steep in the tittle lol


im thinking its original design was meant to be a crawler wall.... But even then it its not that good... What were they thinking lol

That looks like the $10-12 a sheet stuff at the local hardware store(and at the price he is charging it more then likely is) that shatters EASILY. I think its like 1/8th of an inch thick. Even if it was 1/4th of an inch thick it would shatter easily in this application(I've shattered it plenty of times when I used to do controller areas on arcade cabinets)
