Front Flip Challenge

Recommended Posts

No way i am risking one of my trucks with that. The practice alone would result in a new set of bodyshells and posts.

****, you had to say "Tamiya"... I got quite good with my other branded 1/8 Monster Trucks, they had the oomph required to front flip..... here I managed to 9 in a row without breakage.... this was my record.

Back to Tamiya and I reckon it needs to be a 4wd only car that can generate the change of direction needed to front flip.. or like in this video get a flip whilst holding a wheelie into a ramp ;p

Right then. I'd love to offer a prize but will instead highlight that the first TC'er to post a video of any Tamiya monster truck doing this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-39428949 will instead earn the unending respect of your TC peers. Forever. And you can quote it in your sig.

Have fun :lol: 

 

That is very impressive, I bet the in car footage is good.

What the video doesn't show is that it then drives up the containers and sort of gets stuck and falls on it's roof

Ok so it didn't get stuck exactly but still an anticlimax

I look at these, and think it wasn't that long ago that Bigfoot had the flash attack at the Pontiac Silverdome, just for driving on top of scrap cars!! 

(Ok, maybe just getting old 🤔)

The paper is a year late, Tom Meents with Max D, did it a year ago.

Pretty sure I've done this accidentally with a WW2. Not sure I could do it again... backflips, on the other hand...
