Well when your in the air and the nose is up you want to tap the brakes and if its about to frontflip hold the gas until your truck is level again

Well half-throttle with no load on the wheels equals big speed at the tires. I back out to a light throttle, it is just something that you will have to play around a bit with...

The rustler is a tough truck to conrol in the air. I would try to balance out your weight a bit and be careful. I landed a 15 to 20 foot high jump right on the back of my rustler and cracked my engine. It was a steep jump and I slammed on the brakes after takeoff and it wouldn't level out at all. Much unlike the monster trucks with those big tires.

Good Luck!!!

I sometimes have to make "course adjustments" from as little as 3 feet off the ground.... I would not consider this to be really high.

Yeah no kidding about tire size. The heavier wheel/tire combo, the more inertia. I can definitely whip my monster truck back and forth easier than my stadium truck. One thing that helps with my stadium truck is to be on the throttle a bit as I leave the ramp/jump. If I am off of the throttle before it leaves it will nose down and the brakes do nothing because they have nothing to work with. Get those wheels spinning just right and it will go level. If they are not spinning fast enough when you leave there will be no room for the brakes to help.
