Learning how to jump my Traxxas Slash 2wd… tips are welcome [emoji1488]

Tips:
Don't crash
Don't roll over
Land on your wheels. Preferably front just before the rear.
Ha. All serious now. Best way to learn is by doing. So keep at it. Put in the time. Eventually, if you practice enough, you'll become one with the machine and your reactions to what to do becomes second nature. You'll know exactly how it'll react in almost every situation. I'd imagine that would take along time. I've been rcing for many years, still look like a newb on a skate park. (But not what I usually do). One actual possibly useful piece of advice is when you launch in the air with the front end pointed to the sky, lightly hit the brakes to level it out. And if the front is too low, give some throttle. Also if you can, adjust your brakes so its not full brakes at a light touch. You want to be able to ease into it and only slow the tires down, not lockem up instantly. Another thing I like, is running a smaller lighter battery. Different size (weight) batteries make a noticeable difference. Lighter ones result in faster reactions of throttle input while in the air, and is easier on the truck when crashing.

Thank you for taking time to reply.

Plenty of very good points to apply to my driving. I will update this thread with my progress.
