I emphasize "slightly" because the buggy is pretty much dialed except for the occasional hard slap. I run the big bore springs and alternate between the red/white or red/yellow springs. What would you guys do first? Other than learn to downside the jump more consistently... of course.
you won't like the answer...
You don't tune for overshooting the jump.... you spend the extra 20 min that you would wrenching on your car practicing to down side the jump. Sounds harsh, but I would want (and have had) someone tell me to leave the effin car alone and learn to jump properly.
now if you had a problem with the rest of the track.... that's different.
One thing everyone should kinda realize by now, there really isn't much variation of setups for the 4.1. The main tuning is done with tires. It's back to the whole B3 mentality where 1 setup works everywhere and you adjust with tires. take it fwiw...... just my .02
