In that case I would try going down some in the back.
If you can't find the proper performance in oil (either by going up or down) then it's probably your spring rate. You might be running too hard of a spring rate.
Usually when it comes to pistons and pack, you're going to want to look how your landing, not how you're coming off the jumps.
Many Thanks to you and Fred for the reply!!
My truck is bouncing on the tires, not springs, coming down the straight. If I don't perfectly land a jump, the truck will donkey-kick a bit and the rear will come off the ground. As I said, moving down in oil weight systematically from 35 to 27.5 as suggested in this thread has helped, but the problem is still there.
Am I correct to assume that maybe its time to try a piston with larger holes? The #2 is in there now, a #1 would have slightly larger holes. Please keep in mind that my track has huge airs, is large, a bit loamy, and kind of bumpy. (you know, an actual
offroad style track ;-) )
