Air control problems with 8th scale buggy

Ponch Wrote:Naa that's about how my buggy is too, the tires aren't that heavy so there's not much impact slowing them down is going to have on the overall pitch of the buggy...Like MT's, they have alot of meat on the tires, and that's why with most MT's, b-flips are easy. Buggies, you try to do a backflip and it's a very very close call and most of the time you won't make it around in time. If you threw some 17mm trug tires on your buggy I bet you that you could get that thing to nose-down in an instant.

The solution; get off the gas either right when you touch the ramp or about 1/2 way up.
I didn't quite explain myself. A few weeks ago if I hit the brakes it would practically nose dive into the ground. Now hitting the brakes as little to no affect on the attitude of the car.


Quote:set the front brakes tighter than the rears and it will go nose down better,

I race with like no front brake so its a pain in the ass trying to adjust the car in the air lol
I'll have to try that, currently I have it set so that the rears are a little stronger, I like oversteer way more than understeer during braking.
