Thanks guys. I kind of thought my idle sounded kind of low a few times when I stopped to check out a jump. We rebuild one of our tracks today and I was the test pilot for the jump placement. It seemed to be dropping lower then usual , but it was running well, and I never thought that would kill my buggy on landings.

It was idleing pretty high for 10 seconds or so until it would drop. But I'll try and open up the idle a little and hopefully that fixes it. Wednesday is going to be our first little race day at the new track, and it would suck if I was still having problems.
