And sometimes it wasn't consistent, sometimes its nose up, or down, etc on the same jump with the same approach. I even noticed this indoors carpet for more consistent surface.

You may find benefit like AE mention that one of there drivers did to not go for the big triple or whatever like other 1/8 based cars can do (Tekno, SCTE, etc) and single double, or whatever. Play to the strengths of the vehicle.

If you would like a setup to try, feel free to shoot me an pm with your email address. If was the final one I came up with outdoors that I felt worked really well and uses the parts I mentioned.

Good luck though, outside of the issue I mentioned above and the general quirks of the vehicle that are known (more to get to the diffs, etc) I enjoyed my sc104x4 but wanted to share parts with my Tekno EB48, so went with the SCT410.
My limited experience with my SC10 4x4 is very simliar. On the 1/8th scale tracks that I run on, the Losi and Tekno can clear the big triple, the SC10's can not. The difference is 3-4 seconds per lap. We are 2-3 seconds per lap off the pace. So the SC10 can make up some of the difference but not all on the current track configuration. I will continue to tweak and try to close the gap. I just enjoy driving the truck.
