xlgraphicspro, if your buggy seems to "nose dive" over jumps, one of two things is happening. The first is the oil may be too light in back, allowing the buggy to bottom out on the face of the jump and have the back end pushed off the jump harder then the front.
The second is the front oil may be too heavy, not allowing the front springs to bring the front end up as you leave the face of the jump, so it will be nose down as well.
Throttle control will help recover from alot of things, but if your car is way off, nothing will help except for being VERY carefull every time you hit that jump, or retuning the shocks.

Are you running a popular set up, or experimenting on your own?

If you drilled your pistons to 53's, then run about 50wt max up front and 40wt max in back. If you did not drill them you'll need to stay under 40wt in front and under 30wt in back.....Hope this helps?.....Jim
