The Jrx-2 is just such a nice buggy. I've got a shelfer, a runner, a roller and enough parts for one or two more,

I hate changing shock oil.
Under-damped rear shocks. It's probably slapping the rear to the ground on the way up the jump and then popping up, so as you leave the jump the rear is still traveling back up and as front wheels leave the ground, it begins the rotation that points your nose down.

Like Knix said, go thicker in the shock oil, it sounds like the rear suspension is unloading at the top of the jump and causing the nosedive.
As for the jrx2.. those ads with the slammed suspension and slick red body just drew me in and I fell in love with it.... I so need a box art body for my car lol

Awesome. Thanks guys! I agree about the Jrx-2 with lowered suspension. It just looks fastastic.
