Took my new royal flash down to goshen today with my 3yr old and his tyco rebound and had loads of fun. Every time i went over one of the jumps the car nosedived back to the earth. Was impressed with the car other wise and surprised how well it stood up to some good cartwheels. At the mo the i have the car in two wheel drive would this make a difference to its flight characteristics?

HI there,glad your having fun in this rc lark.How high are you jumping the car,try small jumps say inches high to get the feel of jumping and landing by useing steady throttle on the approach,If the car nose dives try blipping the throttle whilsy in the air and this will bring the nose up,if nose high at flight brake in the air(only work if you get the air time to allow).Having a 4wd chassis in 2wd will be tricky as you need the grip and rotational forces to make the adjustment in the air as 4wd is more controllable.Remember start small and work your way up and practice,nothing worse than a broken car infront of a crowd.Hope this helps.
