Tips for controlling car in air


xtract

Recommended Posts

Could all you experts out there give me some tips on how to control the car while in the air and how to land your car successfully? When launching off a jump do you give it full throttle or release throttle just before you launch? What are the secrets to big controlled air time?

you use the throttle to control in the air by accelerating to bring the front end up (or if pushed enough even backflip), and you can use the brake to bring the front down. one other thing to note is try not to land with either the brake fully on or the throttle fully on.

yeah, basically what ron c1 said.

before i met some great guys and joined the forums (thanks to everybody who has helped me), i just used to jump and accelerate so ended up with breaks lol, thats because i didn't know what i was doing.

but once you know what you're doing.....it's very easy to get used to.

make sure you keep accelerating until you leave the the ramp otherwise you'll nose dive.

Defo....

Some people got WOT upto the ramp - 3/4 up the ramp there doing like 8/10th's throttle - and that last little bit on the ramp its WOT - this will help keep the nose in the right position :)

4wd - rotate between the wheels - creating a floating motion

RWD - Rotate around rear wheels

FWD - Dont bother :lol:rofl
