Yea it jumps just like the HPI rally car did. I just wasn't used to it, so I kept letting off the throttle in mid air, causing the many nosedives you see. That was in total stock form. Now I raised the suspension by removing the limiters, added mini revo springs, some bling to remove slop, and put mini slash tires on it. They do much better in the dirt than the stockers do. Fun little car
