Default Jumping problem

I have no control over my savage 4.6 in the air when i jump it. Is it normal for stock 4.6's to do this? It has the stock tires on it, could that be the reason why?

what do you mean no control?

if your flying through the air and you hit the throttle, it should rotate backwards. if you hit the brakes, it should rotate formards. this should happen if its stock aswell, so i am confused about what you mean

really all you need to do is learn throttle control in the air. like stated above, on the throttle will pick the nose up and on the brake will drop the nose down. practice on some small jumps till you get the hang of it. different tires may help you some but throttle control is really what you need to learn as it applies to any vehicle with any type of tires.

Do not have the brakes on or in to the throttle when you land or you can break something in the drive train. No offence but I recommend you read before you post as there is all ready one thread on this on this page. I know the search function on forms are not real good but try before posting.
Good luck.

Yea, I think with some practice, your air control is going to get better.

I learned yesterday the difference a FULLY charged receiver pack can make. BIG DIFFERENCE - steering, throttle control - also in the air. Made the whole truck really wake up.
