Boy...when I finish all the dynamics of this model...I want to try to catch some air like this guy did


I know this tank is fast like how modern tanks should be...but I didn't do what he did...and it does look like it had some lift :haha: :haha:

Are you sure it was 'air' this guy was catching :lolno: Looks like he'd flipped some dexedrine tabs in the air, like M & Ms, as was busily catching them in his revved up chops...Nice shooting with the airsoft, though!! This wasn't a 'friend' of yours, was it
Mr A.? ;) As one long diagnosed as manic, i can fully appreciate the guy's tank antics!! Anyway, these are the tracks (n.b..a tank theme) you can end up on when in a bipolar high!! :haha:

Yes indeed 43....if you watch the first few mins of the video....and think...if it were taken from a lower vantage point...and slowed down...without the muzzle flash...the maneuver would look a lot like this

as you can clearly see the front of the tank lift followed by the tail end...then see the suspension compress ;)
