Here are my first vids from the G5. If they don't show up please tell me, I know they MIGHT require quicktime for it (1 of my computers doesn't have quicktime so it opened up in Windows Media Player). The jump my supra made from the stairs is 14 inches high and landed about 21 inches away from it. Oh, and keep in mind that the throttle trim was set at lo, who knows how far it would have gone with hi.

In the last few secs of this video my dad came out wondering what all the noise was about :D

and this second one was unexpected ;)

If they show up enjoy, if they don't give me a few days to figure out how :)

Hmm... not really sure why it isn't working for you two... try right clicking and save target as and open it up from there. If anyone else could suggest how to fix it please go right ahead and post :D.

is that a straw?

No, it's not straw :D I'm just going to quote one of my previous post to explain about it.

My car antenna is all bent from getting caught in the strings from the furniture and from trying to get it straight again. So for the meantime I went around my house looking for a replacement and I came upon a pipe cleaner :D I just wrapped it around the screw then screwed it in and it works just fine.

I know it may seem kinda stupid but I didn't have any other wire lying around :p

I also tried an antenna wrapped around the inside of the body using a necklace. It worked but once it went to far my car would stop and go, stop and go, etc. Anyway, it's only for the meantime until I get a multicolored antenna with a disco ball at the tip, j/k :p Really, I'm going to pick up some stronger and maybe a little thicker wire at PEARL so that it doesn't bend as easily as the xmod antenna.

Yea, I guess my supra is quite an acrobat :)
