Stability in the air

[DaveTheRave]

Hi guys

I just fitted the rear shock conversion kit to my Cat SX along with the alloy rear mounts. I like the handling of the car now, it seems great out of the bends where the back end was drifting quickly before.

Strange thing is though that since I put it back together the car seems considerably less stable in the air over jumps now. Where before it seemed to handle really well over jumps, now it seems to drift/rotate in the air. Before when I braked in the air the car would tilt forward (front wheels down), and when I accelerated the car would tilit back (front wheels up). Now it kinda goes in the same directions as before but it rotates around the centre of the car on the vertical axis as well, so it lands all over the place..

Any ideas whats happening? Or what I can do to improve the aerial stability in general?

cheers!

I'm still suffering with this problem

Has anyone got any ideas what might affect the stability of my cat sx in the air?

Thanks

maybe balancing the weight left to right will help

I suspect one of your rear driveshafts is catching on the wishbone at full droop.

I had this happen on my cat 3000 and it made it impossible to land off jumps (took me ages to work out what the problem was)

Thanks for the tip, I think this was the problem, I just adjusted the droop and everything seems a lot more predictable now.
