Just a little jump

This sure feels like more when you fly off of it at 60mph. The road drops in elevation 5 or 6 feet over about a 10 foot distance. But it doesn't look like much when you see a video of it. Here it is anyway. It always lands on the right front corner and I can't seem to figure out why. Doesn't matter if I jump up it (loads the front susp. and unloads when it leaves the ground) or jump down it (just droops out). Perhaps the battery is enough weight to weigh down that corner? I don't know.

Engine will torque the jeep to that side as well. I doubt its the battery unless it wieghs more than you do :)

Yeah, I didn't figure it was enough to make any difference, it's just makin me crazy and I'm looking for any possibilities to get it to fly level!

Let off the gas right at the launch point?

X2

dont hold on the gas all the way thru the jump, you'll grenade the ring & pinion when the wheels contact the ground and stop spinning at high rpms
