Default Kandi GKM3 buggy JUMPING!

I was bored the other day so I took a tree that had fallen in our pasture and covered it with some dirt with the tractor. Thought it maybe would make a nice jump for the buggy. Didn't turn out too bad really.

Be careful. You are so close to doing an end over end roll. Those don't end well for you or the buggy.,

Thanks xlint89.
Your advise is well accepted and appreciated. I prejumped it many times gradually increasing the speed to get the feel as to what it would do. When I first had it made the angle was less abrupt and it would land more level but we had 9" rain here and FLOODING in mid MO area. Record levels. So the angle was changing and getting steeper with every jump as the tires would squish the dirt away. When it dries out I will flatten it out some again. WHEN IT DRIES.....LOL.

shoot for making the ramp long enough that the entire buggy is on the face of it with a couple of extra feet for the suspension to settle back after hitting the initial incline. about 10 foot of length works well. No kicker lips!

Awesome! The guy who owns the land I ride on has offered to make me some jumps, but until I get a real suspension on my buggy I'll have to decline..

Thanks wildbob!
I took xbirds advise and put more dirt on the launch pad of the jump and made it less abrupt with no lip on the top edge and it now flies straight and level. The suspension and frame strength on these gkm3 chinese buggies is really impressive for the money. Chinese buggies have come a long way in the last 10 years or so.
They would handle alot more motor with ease.
