Hitting the brakes works just fine for me. I drive it like an 1/8 buggy, but you have to over exaggerate everything. My brakes are at 80% and it takes a full brake blip to bring the nose down. Launches pretty good with that technique, stays low and flat.

Nothing else out there I'd rather have in the SC world (cept an SC8e if everybody would start racing those!)

FWIW, I'm pinned off a lot of the jumps at the local track, but it is about timing off the face and hitting the brakes.

GOOD LUCK
