One thing to note, this could be due to too much drag brake. This truck turns well so very minimal if any drag brake is needed. If you have a lot set which is likely from the factory, letting off the throttle in the air will actually apply brakes which most certainly will bring the nose down. I only run between 0 and 4% drag brake on this truck. The other thing is, mount that esc at the rear of the battery to get some of that weight dispersed better and try moving your battery to the back position.
