I took my ultra molded 10T down to omaha last weekend for its first run in 10 years. 17.5 brushless no boost and shorty pack. It handled pretty good but it would not keep the front end down off of jumps. Where the buggy and short course I could just roll out of the throttle after it left the jump I couldnt do that with the T. Doing the same with it would put the nose up at a 30-40 degree angle. With the shorty pack all the way to the front it was only 62% rearweight. I bolted 1 1/4 ounces of lead to the front tower and got it somewhat better but still not perfect. Suggestions?
Thanks

17.5's tend to use very high gearing, reducing the dynamic drag from the gears to reduce wheel momentum that levels the truck out in the air. Add more drag brake or changing brake profiles, tap the brakes in the air or consider looking at your suspension setup in the front (maybe oversprung)

I might have to play with esc settings. Current suspension is 30 front #2 green, rear 30 #1 started with green, changed to gray. One of the guys suggested add front weight or stiffen up the rear.
