I'm betting that if you adjust the throttle sensitivity (which I'm betting is punch or current limit) up from 2 to 3 or 4, it will probably help with the acceleration issues.

As far as the nose diving off of jumps, I went through that on my SCT410 over the summer. It was a jump that I didn't need to make with my short bus, since no one else was even trying it...but the 1/8 buggies were doing it without issue, so I felt the need to try...

It was a matter of the rear chassis slapping at the end of the approach from being too soft. I wound up changing to a spring two steps stiffer and changing how I hit that jump. I would try some stiffer springs, oil, or maybe set the ride height a bit higher in the rear.
