whats the biggest jump you have ever taken with your tb? cause if i constantly jump it about 4-6 feet off the ground, possibly flat landing, hehe, will it hold up?

Dont jump it to hard, get a chain tensioner and you should be ok. Jumping hard without a chain tensioner can be nasty when the chain snaps then you might have a cracked case that you will have to fix. Just my 2 cents.

They're not made for "big" jumps, get the tensioner and keep em small to modate or you can also snap or bend the rear axil.

4-5 feet in the air will be alright but they are really too heavy for big jumps.
