Air control problems with 8th scale buggy
#6
I usually get off the gas as soon as I clear the ramp, we are going for maximum height and distance here.

I used to have complete control of the car, I could bring it back level from a fully inverted position before landing. Now though its sluggish to bring the nose down even from a 45* angle.

The only other thing I can think of is that i recently changed out to a much thicker fluid in the center diff because running on pavement and general bashing was killing the front tires. I switched to 30k center and that really helped tire wear. But I ran 30k center in my old Ultra Comp 2 buggy and it had no problems nose diving if I laid into the brakes while in the air. And if I hit the gas it brought the nose up very quickly as well.
