You see people always complaining of the nose dive with a 4w if they don't use the throttle to control the nose .
Can't understand why your truck does not react as my ride .
The other trucks has a different weight balance and this effects how sensitive the trucks are with adjustments made mid air ....
yeah, its funny as I have them complain in both ways when the vehicle isn't tuned right. Initial issues with nose dive are common on the sct410 with the stock pistons. piston change however pretty much fixes that issue.
On the sc10 4x4 however, throttle control doesn't appear to affect the front end as it does on other vehicles. Having this control makes it easier to downside large jumps versus "jump and pray" on large jumps.
As mentioned previously WC, if you are not experiencing this issue on 1/8 scale sized tracks, please post the track, a video would be nice as well to see how your vehicle is reacting and your setup for your shocks as well. You complain about people making poor assumptions as you added to your post, discounting what they have posted as essentially a lie without any info beyond you offhanded comment. So again, please post the track, the setup you used, when this occurred, etc. Even better, attend that track again and get someone to video what you are seeing. if it is as you are saying that setup info would be invaluable for people who are having the issue and have a stock setup.
If you have the ability to post your current weight bias, that can be helpful too.
