Stiffen the front end up a little helps also and lower the rear ride height also seemed to help. Run zero drag brake also. Throttle is the most important thing to remember. You can test it by holding the truck off the ground giving it some gas then let off the trigger, you will see it blip forward which causes the nose to dive.
Good luck!

I don't own a short course but all of my friends have the hyper 10sc's and they all complain about the same thing that you are having a problem with.
they have tried moving battery positions, esc, reciever, stick on lead wieght.
but they have all done little to improve the way that they fly.
The only thing that has worked for them has been the jconcepts bajr desert body, I guess it gives it way more rear downforce it performs better but I think that it takes away from the realistic look that makes the short course class so cool.
I think I would try to incorporate some kind of wing or spoiler to a stock sc body or try trimming one in to it

Welcome to the 4x4 issues... We all have that problem. Only fix I have found is keeping on the gas, the second you let off going over a jump it lawn darts. Takes a few hours getting it down but once you do it's not bad. Using small throttle 'blips' in the air helps. I run on a small track and not much time to correct in the air so I just roll up the jump and stay on the gas and let off right before I land.
Stiffen the front end up a little helps also and lower the rear ride height also seemed to help. Run zero drag brake also. Throttle is the most important thing to remember. You can test it by holding the truck off the ground giving it some gas then let off the trigger, you will see it blip forward which causes the nose to dive.

I'm down with other options and have open ears and am willing to try anything. I miss the smooth jumping of my SC10.

SVT, from my hole in the wall small town. Word.. wouldn't be the least bit surprised if I know you.
Anyhow, I agree running a lighter weight in the rear with a lower ride height will make this much easier to handle in the beginning. Soon you will figure it out and you won't even notice it anymore.

I guess I based that off seeing my friends hyper 10 over the huge triple at his house.
it has a huge gradual take off jump and is about 25 feet from take off to landing and he has to keep that thing pinned till the tires double in size and he still cases it half the time

I think part of the issue is the short springs on the front of the truck....
What spring and oil setup are you using???
I like.
Tmaxx white springs or losi 2.5 silver in the rear with 40-50 wt.
2wd slash or losi green springs in the front with 60-80 wt.. (i usually run the higher)

mine nose dived pretty bad and i think most of the issue is the stock springs, i put all white rustler springs on mine and it is much easier to keep the front up over bumps and jumps.
