My race quad is about 480lbs with me on it and for me to fly 40ft I had to be going about 30mph and that was 6fttall jump launching me 15ft high.

The car will noes dive. I been in 2 trucks flying in the air and the one truck landed and broke part of the frame and mest up the front left shock.

The other truck was in 4th gear over a 4ft tall table top jump and it noes dived bad and when it landed the frame bent into a V all the way down to the ground and flipped us over side ways.

If you build a jump with out a steep lip you will just drive over it fast and noes dive instantly. You need a steep lip. But the jump will need to be made long and gain angle slowly or the car will bottom out and take half the jump with it making you crash if its not long enough.

You can weigh the cars rear down by loading up the trunk but then the jump will have to be hit at a higher speed. Thats what the stunt guys do and Dukes of Hazzard. They weigh the rear end down. Andfor Dukes of Hazzard every time the car hit a jump it totaled on landing. They needed a new car for every jump. And rwd cars jump 10x better than fwd. Rwd you will noes dive less and can floor it in the air and the rotation of the tires will make the rear end drop slowly stopping you from noesing in bad.

I would set the car up like meth busters and controle it by remote control and jump it. Put a dummy in it and say its you and sendthe tapeinto CMT redneck videos or somthin like that its called and im sure they would take it and they pay for every video they use.

I touched a real Dukes of Hazzard car last summer[8D]

You could easily do it with a big enough ramp... as long as you dont plan on having a passenger.
