I have been running my gold pan in our 2wd buggy class this year. I have been doing pretty good with it (usually top 5) believe it or not. I am using a full gold chassis ,stealth trans, b2 cvds modern tires
with Mark W setup from here-

I am still running a brushed motor (12 turn) and nimh packs.
I am having a problem with the car nose diving bad on a few jumps. They are short run small takoff ramps. I have tried going to a black rear(super soft) spring but that did not help (car would bottom out on a few of the larger jumps too). I also tried a silver front spring (did not help). I am out of ideas on what to try. I know I am nuts trying to run a 20 year old buggy with the newer cars but I love the looks I get when I set her down on the track.

Thanks
