Video: Hang Time - Jumping the Mini LST

crazydave · Post by **crazydave** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 11:00 pm

I've given the Losi a few runs around the apartment, and it handles really well, buts a bit too fast for indoors. So this is gonna be mostly an outdoor toy. This was my first run outdoors, so I sat the camera on the chair next to me to catch some of the jumping action.

I threw this vid together with Windows Movie Maker. I picked a MP3 CD at random, and found a random track that happened to be the right length, and when I threw it together, it fit as well if not better than anything I've intentionally done. Really kinda odd how that works.

Hang Time 1:39 (5mb WMV)

Thats not a random tune. Thats your nightly lullabye.

You need a little more runway room, then you'll be scrapin' some sky!!

Cool vid...

Looks like it soaks up the bumps nicely.

I do love that surf gueetar.

You're telling me. I was studying the radar data in RC Driver, and the Losi needs approx. 40 ft to wind out to top speed, I maybe have 30 ft tops, and I was just seeing it wind out. I was only getting about a 5-8 ft. run up on the ramp, and having the angled sidewalk in front of it was not helping me line up.

It was my first time, I'm gonna have to experiment with my enviroment.

Just a little too soft for my taste. It was bottoming out, and the aluminum on the bottom of the chassis took a beating. It comes stock with 25 wt. oil in the shocks. I got some 30 wt. on order, and I'm gonna try to build the shocks with a little more rebound... but other wise, yeah, it soaks the bumps up great. Easily the best handling RC I ever driven. Even in the loose stuff I could not get out of shape.

That was the only change I made after I added the music. I took out one 2 sec slomo clip, and bam, it all lined up too perfect. I can never pull that crap off if I plan it out first.

(That did throw off the alignment through the slomo clips. It was hitting the jump in perfect sync with the guitar.)
