maybe I am just not going fast enough? and the nose just drops once It gets off the top of the ramp?

Status: offline 		My buddy's rustler does the same thing. I guess the rusty's are nose heavy. My xxx-nt is a lot better but likes to drop the front down some to. What I do is hit the ramp at a steady pace and then just before the front wheels leave the ramp, hit the throttle some. Just blip the throttle before it leaves. You may need to tap the brakes some in the air to drop the front but it should fly better. And you hit the throttle to raise the front and brake to drop the fron end down.

Status: offline 		Double check your rear brakes are not binding or anything, i had this on my ST-1 and i was struggeling to keep the nose up even when throttling. Once i sorted this i could control the flight perfect.

Another thing to check is when your hitting the ramp, make sure your not bouncing as you hit the jump, i noticed this on a certain jump. I was hitting it, car was bouncing (only slighty) and the rear was just clipping the end of the jump as the car took off, pushing the nose down.

Im pretty sure its the other way around..

front spring should always be stiffer than the rear to prevent nose dives during jumps..
