Yea...we thought of that (ran wingless).
We also tried loading the front with a ton of weight...That helped a bit but created other issues with cornering.
I think I will find something on teardown.. Or there is an issue with the front of the car (been concentrating on the rear this whole time).

Those square faced jumps are a big part of the problem. When you go from 0* flat to 45-50* in 12-18" the front end with rebound violently "kicking" the nose. Your SCT has large tires to act as a secondary damper, eliminating most of that. Your probably going to have to go to a very aggressive (10-16*) front spring and heavy damping.

Yes..there are two jumps with at least a 45° take off ramps.
The layout has changed around since they posted the pics on their page..but they still
have aggressive jumps. The newer buggies can deal with it much better...
I am trying to hunt down a bb shock set or at least a front set for now. I would agree that
getting the front to react better will be the key to flatter jumping.
I will say in the infield it's actually faster than the 22...the car rotates perfect.
