An RC10 should not hit a nitro Jump

[soniccj5]

I was at the track yesterday trying to get some practice with my RC10 for the VONATS. I was practicing inside for a pack then swapped in my LiPo and went from a 20th pinion to a 27tooth with the intention of running the outdoor track for a pack.

The track was built mostly for 1/8 nitro cars, so the jumps are huge. I did a few laps going slow, then for what ever reason, I decided to open it up on the straight before the table top that has a good lip on it. You can imagine my shock when I was almost eye level with my car, and I was on the drivers stand. The tires ballooned up to twice their size trying to keep the nose up. I was not in the car, but I got the same feeling I would have on my BMX bike before I would have a horrible landing. Nothing broke, but it was an ugly landing. After that, I picked up my car, went to the pits, put a 22 tooth pinion on and went back to the inside track.

The good news is I was doing ok keeping up with some B4s and Losi 22s on the indoor track.

I jump my RC10!
Not that high, though. I'm amazed nothing broke. Just goes to show, the RC10's actually pretty tough, probably one of the most durable electrics Associated ever made.

What motor are you running? I run a 22 on my VONATS car with a 19t motor.

I am running a 10.5 brushless.
