Default Question about Stampede XL-5

when i do jumps it always wants to land on its front end. i guess it is front heavy. i can probably put some weight on the back end but adding weight is not a good thing. any other ideas?

Hold the throttle longer, but just don't land with the throttle at full. The more foward throttle you give it, the more the front wheels will raise in the air. However, if you land on the ground with the throttle at full and your slipper clutch is tight, you will probably do some damage to the driveline.

yes more throttle, braking brings the front end down, throttle brings it up.

yes reverse throttle, it stops the wheels before it turns them the other way. So if you flying full throttle and hit brakes (reverse throttle) then the wheels will stop and THEN go into reverse.
