Nose divin slash...

[blackcatnastang]

Ok I have built a small track here at my house and while its not pro built I don't think its bad. I have run many different R/C's on the jumps that I have and out of everything that I've run the slash seems to nose dive way to much. After launch the front end just drops and when it lands it will almost come to a stop. I'm not good at set ups, so I turn to you guys for help!!! As for as I can remember I have 50wt shock oil at all 4 corners and I think I set it up for off-road as said in the traxxas instructions... I have a mamba max and 5700kv and so far the only way to stop the nose divein is to pin the throttle while in the air but I don't like that idear at all... So any idears as to what to try? (FYI) I know nothing about caster/camber and no idear how to change or gauge those, They are how ever it came out of the box and have been through lots of bashing!!!

Change the shock pistons in the front to 1 hole. Stock is 2 hole.

yea that will give you more pac.and mack sure the ramps are nice and flat.if they have a lip on them it will cause that.

Also go with a lighter weight oil in the front shocks compared to the rear.
This allows the front end to naturally cycle (or spring) quicker going up the face of the jump, and through the air, both of which keep the nose higher - but you also want to run heavier oil in the rear of any 2wd truck because that's where the majority of the weight is in the truck (rear weight bias via motor and battery ).
