Jump - practice ramp

[joffacn]

Hi

What angle and length would make a good ramp to practice jumping for a 4WD 1/10 buggy?

My intial thoughts are to make it about 2 1/2 lengths of the car with the first half curved increasing up to 45 and the second half not curved.

Should there be a small recurve at the take off end?

Requires enough "flight time" to practice nose up/down throttle control but not too high to break often on the mistakes.


Thanks Jeff

It's not the jumping that breaks the car, it's the landing!
Make the jump as huge as possible with obscene air-time and pad the landing to keep the car intact

I love jumping too! :)

Let's see some ramps. Anyone have blueprints for a collapsible and portable jump ramp? Heheh.

Here's my extremely high quality cad program design:

It's a little steep, but it makes for some good air.

Make it fairly smooth but with a kicker on the end, nitro buster ramp :p
