|  ramping? can someone explain ramping to me? what constitutes ramping and what does not? Is it when more than one tire leaves the ground? Is it getting over an object at a faster pace than others? Is it flying through the air over other crawlers?  I really want to get some details on this rule because of my new found speed addiction. |

| I'm new to the board, but ramping would be stacking rocks on course in order to make an obstacle easier to make it over, that is just a guess from someone who has not been to a comp yet, but gettin real serious about buildin a TXT based rig.  |

| yes you can jump the whole course if you want... insteatd of "ramping" it should be rock stacking or helper rocks or whatever... you can't pick up a rock and place it under your tire to help you climb the obstacle |

| placing rocks would be straight up cheating. "oh, its too hard. let me just dump a load of gravel on it" If i can jump the entire course at full speed, then why arent more people gearing higher with higher torque motors? |

| Becauze the course has turns (at least I hope it dose) and gates even if you could jump the whole thing it would be impossible to do it without going out of bounds or over a gate. besides it's about how good you can crawl not how far or high you can jump........da |
