Default Went Belly Up

Found it hard to keep the trucks level.

Driving HPI Savage Flux XS on 2S - Would the castle link help to level out? Any other pro tips?

Trucks were belly up most of the time.

Esc settings aren't going to help how the trucks flys are lands. The ramp and also throttle position are what determines the trucks attitude in the air. If you stay on the throttle or apply throttle in the air the nose will come up. Letting off as the truck leaves the ramp should maintain the attitude the truck had when leaving the jump. Applying brakes brings the nose down.

That ramp went nearly vertical on the top half, so the truck left the ramp nearly vertical. If you were still on the throttle at all when the truck left the ramp the nose would go higher u too it went over backwards. Part of that ramp was also missing in the middle section so depending on the path you took up the ramp the truck would bounce off the bottom of the ramp, have no middle section to stabilize its attitude before hitting the vertical top part of the ramp and bouncing off of it. Bear in mind you're on the throttle, bounced off the bottom of the ramp , nose coming up because there's no middle section and the truck is in the air while you're on the throttle.
