That shouldn't hurt it any. If you want to jump it I high suggest a chain tensionor from HPD, and check the tension often

Listen to everyone they got it right.
Frist thing I want to know is how much do you weigh?
the reason i ask is because, I weigh 220 pounds and have put more air time on my scrammy then most small planes.
If you ever jump higher than 10 feet you will start to push a stock one. i have cut alot of weigh off this quad of mine and anything over 15 feet and might brake it.
The frame just can't take it, that is why if you jump high you should mod the frame and shocks.
One last thing You have a 4x4 and they sometimes want to tilt to the side or front in big jumps. SO STAY ON THE GAS ON THE FACE OF THE JUMP>
GOOD LUCK!!! BE CAREFULL!!!!!!!! THEY REALLY AREN"T FOR JUMPING

YES, be carefull how high and far you jump, I used to jump 20-25 ft doubles at a motorcross track it was fun at the time but abought two weeks later wile riding in west virginia the jumping damage came outtt. I was abought 3 miles form the truck when the swingarm broke luckily we were able to get the truck back out the trail to load it,it took 6 people to pick it up and set it on the trailer. so be carefull... If it breaks again it will not be the swingarm and I don't want to be on it....later scramfused

I jump my Scrammy plenty and all its done so far is dent the stock wheels. Not sure how high I jump but my 1 bad wreck when I went off a ledge it landed hard enough to bottom out and bounce twice as I flew off lol. No frame damage yet but they really are too heavy for the big jumps.

Fixitmatt... To answer your question I'm 255lbs and still like jumping the scrambler but I'll leave the jumps over 5 or 6 feet to the smaller and younger guy's. The older you get the longer it takes to heal.
