I happen to be pretty decent at shock adjustments and spend more than 5 hours at tracks during the week. I dont know everything but I know alot, my truck is better at it than before but still not near good enough.
Low speed approach 30' triples are not a problem its the 40mph 36' jumps that are an issue and not everyone has access to these types of tracks and I didnt until recently.
I didn't say shocks had to do with in air adjustments directly. Shock setup can affect how well your car takes off on the lip of the jump which then determines whether you need to correct the car in air or not which leads to the problem you are referencing.
I didn't find my Losi to correct all great in the air either. The solution imho is so that your car doesn't jump akward at take off so you don't need to make drastic corrections.
I am not claiming to have the answer, but watching some of the fast locals, they don't seem to have the issue with making larger jumps. In fact, one of the reasons I ditched the Losi was watching how great the sc10 seemed to handle in the hands of a good driver.
