That ramp's way too high for an R/C, man. You wouldn't want one above six and a half. It could be as long as you want, as long as the end curves up slightly.

I hope there's a down ramp on the other side for landing. That would hurt otherwise.

yeah, we have a dirt landing....and the ramp can be moved so we can adjust the distance of the jump...i can do 190 feet on my 450f....my max distance with my Muggy with a clean landing is 52feet.

I hope they get a little bigger, those are minor bumps to a revo and the suspenion would soak it up.

Sure, once i get my Muggy running again. It needs a hinge pin block and a new cluch...i gotta find a clutch that will last, or i'm getting rid of the Muggy and getting something more reliable...

Maybe a Revo, but i'm not gonna give up on my Muggy that easily. If anything, i'll get an LST2....but i said if i ever get rid of the Muggy, i'm going 1/5 scale...i may stick to my word.
