I would never do that with my nitro car, mine ran me 400 bucks before I broke the suspension and rebuilt the engine lol.

Oh, come on. Where's your spirit of adventure, and the need to spend money needlessly? You can even make a vid of it, so you will think eveyone thinks you're cool!

That's probably over a grand flying through the air on that one! I think this vid's been around for a few years now too.

Check this vid out, 134 mph in a Nitro TC3 converted to electric

I wouldnt jump over a house. I would roast the tires, even though they would make no smoke, and take a full throttle launch. I dont know what that one hit, but mine can get up to 47 on the pavement and its only a one speed. Id like to get the two speed transmission from a monster truck rigged to it with a different gear on the engine and bring it to the drag strip, just to see what it could do. It would have no problem hitting 100 if geared right and would still take off like a bat out of hell, like the one in that video. Mine isnt really aerodynamic though.
