Yes mine does it too.... I have the new kit springs, TLR Chasi, 3/3/1 difs...Emulsion shocks... 32;5 front 27.5 rear , had the 5.5 Tekin but sold it and a 4600 Pro4 is going in. Yes, it's only this car that jumps this way. Out of the 4 car's I run. So I made sure all berings are free, all difs smooth, gear mesh on the loose side so as no to bind. Even giving full thottle in the air still can not recover from donky flipping %40 of the time. Hoping the lighter and stronger motor helps me keep the front end up and the tuning kit is on the way so it should make it better handling. What do you guy's think ...this happens over the big tripple at my local track.
There is an incert in the difs... metal sleve the outdrive passes through. Need to glue it in to seal it. then aply black greese to the o rings and shaft.

Mine has always jumped perfect until this weekend. It just started doing it out of nowhere. I changed nothing in the setup either. Its driving me crazy. Frikin donkey kickin rear end. I though it might be air in the rear shocks but I pulled them apart drained and refilled. Wondering if its an issue with needing a shock rebuild. Possibly a bad shaft seal pulling air. Before I couldnt make this thing jump bad if I wanted to. Now its getting annoying ass over elbow almost every time. Everything feels smooth as butter too. Once I pull apart the front end tonight Ill do a detailed inspection and hopefully find something out of the ordinary.
I've had my rear diff leak completely out and go unnoticed.

Not really I CAed the inserts when I first got the truck and have never had leaking problems. Could this be a ride height issue? Its indoor on a carpet track. So it might be possible the rear is slapping the jump when going over??

That plus excessive rebound on your shocks will do it. Are you running the shocks bladder or emulsion? If you're running them bladder, the second any air gets in there at all, they go way soft and your 30wt is actually acting like 15wt which will make the truck very bouncy.

Check the rear arms for binding, especialy if you made a toe or anti-squat adjustment recently... If the arms are bound up it'll be nose down on every jump....

FOr thoes who are having the rear end passing up the front in the air, it could be the jump itself. If it is a short abrubt take off where the front leaves befor the rear is even beginning to compress that will do it every time.

My problem is on the exact same track I run on every time. Have never had a problem there. So I would say it cant be the jump or jumps as I been over them tons of times with no problems.

More times than not when a guy is saying that the donkey effect just started, it is because of binding in the suspension.

I had a similar issue last year, trucked worked fine then a few laps in came the nose diving. Ended up being a front wheel bearing going bad, just enough to cause the nose down.
