Hello,
I am attempting to make a Super Car-ish Grasshopper (The thing from Twisted
Metal, not the insect). I really want it to be functionable. I have already
got a transmission down, as well as firing missile launchers. Now, if I only
knew how to make the thing jump into the air.. I know there was a (non-Lego)
remote controlled car out on the market a while ago, and it jumped. Does
anyone know how that thing jumped? Or, does anyone have suggestions? Thanks,

Acctually I think Tyco used to make a car that jumped called the air devil.
It used some sort of lever likeplastic piece that came down out of the bottom
of the car wich propelled it upward.  You could try to make a system similar
to that.  All of the Twisted Metal games rock I would really be interrested to
see some photos of your model!  Awhile back I built a minifigure scale model
of roadkill you can cheack it out in the dat.models section.
