As far as catching the rear end are you refering to something like the rear tires not getting over the peak of jumps and "casing" the jump. This refers to the back of the car landing where the transmishion case is insted of on the rear tires. The only help for this is to go off the jump faster to land further down on the downside of the jump.

Let me know if any if this helps or if I completly misinterpited the problum.
regarding the foam blocks, i have tried placing 2 foams at the rear(as i have read that this wld give me more steering) & 1 each on the front & rear of batts. These 2 scenarios still result in nose-heavy which completely contradicts the review from rccaraction mag which mentioned that "this truck jumps as well as his competition trucks". Is it me or my settings? im quite skeptical at putting all the foams at the front as i wldn't want a wheelie-ing truck at the track

As for catching the rear, im actually referring to oversteering resulting in 'donuts' during corners. And again, is it me or settings? Is this characteristics typical of a 2wd?
