I've been playing with my dual cells a lot lately and have been thinking of other fun driving to do...
then I remembered crazydave's video of some vert ramp action - looked hella fun - so I made a crude vert ramp and went to town!
click the pic for the video

Nice
Hey cabo I gots a movie idea for yea(I will try it to as soon as hte Duel cells from Hog arrive)
But your fasted most powerfull car in a hampster wheels, the kind that allows them to run around the living room. If you could fix the wheel in one spot it would be like those crazy bike stunt dude in teh "Wheel of death"

yup, thought of that too - that would be cool, specially in the dark with those cop lights going! lol
I also think it'd be cool to let the ball roll around and drive the ball with the bit inside

Cool, glad you like my vid enough to try it yourself, and it looks like it worked out about the same for you as it did for me.
Couple suggestions from what I learned from my experience. For one I found some thin cardboard worked better, and the little trick I learned to get your car to flip, is hit the ramp at an angle, and then turn your wheels into the ramp as you hit it. Don't know why that worked better than driving straight into the ramp, but it did.
What happen to your idea to do bathtub stunts, I was kinda looking forward to that.

Oh...the car part is really cool....just waiting for the stright up the ramp run.
suprized on how many times it landed back on its wheels.

lol I forgot about the tub...
yea man, baquacil is a chemical for the pool.
you know really, I should set that thing up right and I'd probably have a bit more fun and maybe some cooler video.
my car just couldn't get the traction to reach top speed, the kitchen floor was dirty and full of cat hair - grrrr... lol
