Im guessing on a good, dry day I could fly 60 foot..! Today, I was not prepared for the sticky and traction based dirt/mud/slush that I was launching from. No excuses.. I should have backed off the throttle wayyy more.. but wow, this bird just wanted to fly! Them's the breaks!
Lot's of folks ask me about the RC's I use, and though this particular RC (in the video) was severely upgrade.. it started with a base model Losi 5T. Here is some info from the manufacturer:

"Bigger. Faster. Stronger. The 1/5-scale Losi® 5IVE-T® 4WD Off-Road Racing Truck is the closest thing to a full-size vehicle in realism, performance and experience. It features a 4WD drivetrain based on the racing- and award- winning 8IGHT™ buggy platfrom, Spektrum™ telemetry receiver, installed sensors, and 1/4-scale servos. And since it's a Bind-N-Drive™ vehicle, you complete it with the DSM® transmitter of your choice. There's really nothing like driving an RC truck as big as this. Come take it for a spin in all its 4WD glory.
This is no ordinary chassis. It is based on the award-winning, race-proven 8IGHT™ platform. It has been designed to produce the best performance possible. The chassis plate is constructed of 5mm aircraft-grade aluminum and has been machined to save weight and add strength to provide extreme durability.
To ensure a long engine life and proper care, the air and fuel systems are served by a two-stage filtering system. The air must pass through two different foam filters designed to block as much dust and debris as possible while still maintaining proper flow. The fuel system features a secondary filter that serves multiple purposes.
The engine comes preinstalled with a high-volume muffler and features an electronic ignition, easy adjust carburetor with a built-in choke and fuel primer. An added bonus is the machined oval inserts that match the chassis cutouts precisely to locate the engine for proper gear mesh.
The finned aluminum clutch mount adds strength and durability and provides unmatched heat dissipation for increased longevity of the 8,000 rpm clutch. Since it is enclosed, it prevents dirt and debris from entering and fouling the parts. The oversized bearings handle greater loads and are more reliable.
The core of the electronics system is the SR3300T receiver that is powered by Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM technology and has telemetry built in. The 5IVE-T comes prewired with sensors for engine temperature, speed and receiver battery voltage. Just add a surface DSM transmitter like the Spektrum DX3S, and all of this information will be transmitted back to the driver for real-time vitals of the 5IVE-T.
These monster wheels are true beadlock wheels with rings on both the inner and outer bead of the tire. With the amount of power the 5IVE-T produces and the sheer size of these tires, these wheels will provide a stable platform for the all-terrain tires. Many popular 1/5-scale tires will mount right on these beadlock wheels.
The 5IVE-T uses nothing but precision-cut or -formed, heat-treated steel gears throughout the drivetrain. No plastic gears. These are the strongest and most durable type of gears available and would be expensive option items on other models.
The realistic cage provides added durability to the assembly, absorbing impacts as well as providing a solid base for the modular body. The unique design allows the body and cage to be removed with only four screws and four body clips in seconds.
The individual four-piece body panels can be replaced in the event that they become damaged, so an entire body does not need to be purchased to get the vehicle back to the factory look. Clear panels and stickers are sold separately to create your own look or retain the factory schemes."
