are you letting off the throttle? Hit the throttle a lil while in the air, it will kick the nose up.

Make sure you have a wing on the back of the truck, wings are very important to trucks too, not just buggys. The wing creates downforce on the rear of the car, and brings the nose up while in the air.
Hope this helps :D :D

you dont want the back comming down too much like I learned the hardway. I went off a jump and got about 16ft of horizontal air. it landed on the motor cage and crushed it in. In the process it bent a shattered my motor can...there goes a Sonic2

no, throttle flips it break, break flips it down. trust me i want to see what it would do with my T, (basiclly wanted to see if i could flip it) and wound up in a bad crash. RCCA did a segment on how to jump a while back, it was in the project jump trucks article.

Try letting off right as you start to roll on the jump, then get back into the throttle pretty hard;that way the front suspension can rebound from the shock of hitting the bottom on the jump where the grade of the hill changes, and getting back in the throttle will transfer the weight back towards the rear of the truck. Then it should just involve rolling back in it to keep it somewhere near level and you'll be golden :)
