Default flying losi & new to racing

hello all, thanks to the help of a few people I have got my losi 22 running in as basic a form as possible, i know little about setup or technical elements but plan to race and learn as much as i can as i go along..hoping to make oswestry on thursday but definitely southport on sunday...i digress...

my question (it could be a daft one) is from watching at southport and seeing the cars jump at reasonable heights do i need to do anything specific to ensure my car isnt nosediving or the opposite, weights etc? I couldnt fit the ESC at the front by receiver so have it on the motor mount so have some concern the car could be a bit heavy at the back, any other tips for first racing session much appreciated!

...thanks

Throttle on whilst in flight brings the nose up, and braking whilst oin flight brings the nose down. Don't be shy, esp with 2wd - it'll take more throttle than you can accidently give to make it go too far.

What you could do is just give it a go and don't over think it :-).

At either Southport or Oz their will be people who can keep an eye on your runs and will be happy to offer any advice.

Losi 22 is pretty easy car to fly. just dont hit full throttle up the ramp. just accerlate then back off and keep it steady throttle when hitting ramp. it will fly level.
