1. Epic BMX Mega Ramp

Nestled in the Tehachapi Mountains, the MegaRamp at Woodward West isn’t for the faint-hearted. A steep roll-in followed by a massive 27-foot quarterpipe makes this ramp a challenging playground. Here, the Traxxas X-Maxx and the all-new E-Revo—alongside BMX star Morgan Wade and scooter rider Chandler Dunn—showcase a blend of power, precision, and pure adrenaline. The X-Maxx's formidable power and the E-Revo's sleek design combine for some of the craziest RC car stunts.
