@coyote , I did notice it is how you leave the jump, when I go up I let the throttle off and it would go level.
The truck is very responsive in the air for me, too responsive. Goin to experiment with drag brake. When I tapped brakes in air, it would bring the nose down abruptly because I run a lot of brake. My truck would do anything I wanted to do, I noticed it did like to jump nose high for the most part , I think thats from the center diff , having throttle and the weight being biased more in the rear. Im.still learning the truck in its new configuration. I was giving the nitro buggys a good run, I could beat them on the straights and stay neck in neck with them in the turns until one of them would would take me out . If they couldnt drive around me theyd bash me..
Was fun, glad I got the 6000mah saddles. I need to get two more sets, I was putting back in almost 5000 mah in charge. Even with my 7 amp.chgr it was taking forever.
This truck is so much easier to drive. I saw Jason Ruona out there today and wanted to run some things by him but he left before I got to talk to him.
For whoever asked, I ran at Orange County Paintball. Daytona is a better prepped track but its 55 miles away.
Jeff a few more things for you to play around with, and i am glad you are digging the truck!
IF your batteries are getting hot its because those batteries you have ( i use the same ones) are only 25c so what you need to do is gear down 1 or 2 teeth and add some timing up top (Profile 2 is enough) this takes some load off of the motor through the turns, creates less heat and will net you the same if not faster top speeds.
Brakes: you only want to dial in as much brake as you need, this way when you are racing you dont have to worry about applying too much brake and locking up the front. Downside to this is that it does make it harder to get the nose down but i have found that some drag brake balances that out as well as applying the brakes as soon as you get in the air before peak altitude.
