If you’ve seen a Traxxas action video or attended one of our events, you have seen the big-air flips and aerial maneuvering of these high-performance Traxxas models. Get a behind-the-scenes look at how to perform the tricks in your favorite videos. With a little practice, you can come up with some tricks of your own!

good job traxxas ! a frontflip usually just needs full brakes. if you hit the reverse, it will be a reverse flip. reverse flip is a trick of its own because you can double it !

[@tanner7622]

I did a flip off a dirt jump, crashed it and went to get it out of the tumbleweeds. Decided I didn’t want to walk all the way back to where I was jumping from so I stood at the end of the ramp. I jumped the truck (it’s not a steep ramp and it levels out at the top instead of dropping again). It was mid-flip and I thought to Myself “well this was stupid”. Moral of the story bones are stronger than rc cars. Hit myself at full speed and broke the car

[@T_gaming28]

🤦‍♀️

[@austbozz783]

Lmfao

[@LilTimmytim120]

So true because my mom does not listen to me at all and she gets so close the jump I'm doing and I think sometime she's to going to regret not listening to me so when I did the jump it when at her and it did not hurt her but left a little crack in my rc car.

[@CustomFPV]

Do a "How to Make a Jump" video. I have been dying to know your exact formula for sweet air and clean landings :) Nice video Traxxas!

[@zarkfuckerberg4545]

CustomRCMods trial and error.

[@cwatson42785]

CustomRCMods you can make nice ramps out of medium to large size cardboard boxes. You just lean it on its side with the opening on its side like it tipped over, put 2 slices along both edges then cut it up some and tape it up good. It's hard to explain but you will understand. Also there is a video on yt if you search it.

[@DumbHusky]

if you get some ply wood and a few 2x4's you can make a pretty good ramp or loop

[@ItsJustFranko]

I just throttle down and finesse it while in the air on my other channel I have a few small jumps and stuff until I can get better shocks and aluminium parts check it out if you want Its "Rc Spartan" annoyingly it'll probably come up with the rc boat so you gotta search Rc Spartan and then channel

[@indraniperera1620]

Well they gotta sell plenty of parts right??? If you own a traxxas you already know the answer to that question…. Designed to be upgraded and then you are off to the next weak link!!!

[@deletedions394]

Traxxas just offer a chassis that can be over powerd with infinite gearing options. Thats what we love. Everything else traxxas we hate. Diffs, elecs and most of all the traxxss bosses and lawyers. Traxxas has recently killed off. Arrma Durango & Proline pro MT truck. So proline made its own fully proline chassis that will kill the trx 1ten stuff. Plus its already upgraded and we choose our own elecs. Bye bye traxxas youve wasted too many chances. Now you are a scummy company.

Awsome,I already knew about the acceleration and brakes.can you do the cool cross flip with the erevo?

Why not?

you can do tricks with 2wd brushed its just a bit harder, I made a ramp up against a wall outside and my 2wd stampede did a barrel roll and landed it but when it landed it had a broken suspension cap, fixed and I still do a few tricks, but heres a tip: don't exellerate too hard it will mess up your landing and could break a part!

I have a Traxxis 4x4 Slash. I heard the video say to use a LiPo 2-Cell battery, any reason why I can't use a 3-cell? I have the both 2-cell and 3-cell batteries.

[@TraxxasSupport]

The Xl-5 ESC in your Slash 4x4 is only capable of handling the Voltage (7.4V) from a 2 Cell Lipo and (8.4V) from a NIMH battery. However, if you install the optional VXL 3S Power up system in the truck, you're then able to run up to a (11.1v) 3 Cell Lipo battery.

[@Jvndeuce]

So just do the same thing with rear wheel drive with 3s lipo or 2s lipo

[@mikejurnak4253]

Forgot to mention first spend another $250 buy all the upgraded parts before attempting any of those flips 🤜🤛

[@pulpyfruits1384]

i call the swich flip the half flip

[@ItsJustFranko]

They didn't mention your your car over rotate hitting brake or throttle will help it get back into place like backflip over full just hit the break and if needed a little reverse
