How to Improve RC Car Ramp Jumps

Draw a line that crosses over the ramp perpendicularly to help your approach while driving. Maintain maximum control as you come up the ramp, and minimize any final adjustments to prevent a catastrophic launch. Approach the ramp at half throttle, and pay attention to the angle at which the vehicle hits the ramp. Aim for a perfect 90-degree launch.

Apply throttle up the ramp, the release it as you come off into the air. Allow the wheels to rotate freely as the vehicle sails through the air. Adjust the trajectory of the car by utilizing the wheels as gyros. Apply more throttle to point the nose of the car toward the sky, or apply the brakes to point the nose toward the ground.

Apply full throttle when your vehicle touches down to gain traction and a small speed boost by carrying the momentum of the jump into your run. Control the vehicle's speed if there is another jump, since hitting a ramp at an exceptional high speed may result in your totally overshooting the landing.
