Rebuild your jump / ramp. Its probably angled wrong.

If there a bunch of people landing the jump just fine, check out your ride. Maybe you've got it balanced really bad (way too much wieght in the rear or front)

Also, is your wing angled normally or is it all jacked up? Do you hold the throttle down while your in the air / hit the brakes in flight? These kinds of thigns can make buggies to weird things.

Check your setup, and check out your jump / ramp.

Its not a ramp it is my driveway whenever i jump i do hold down the thottle, and my wing is not jacked up

but the wieght on the back of my buggy is alot heavier than the front cause of the motor and esc and battery and thats alot of wieght difference is there any way i can fix this i cant move any of those things because there is no room in th front to put them in

I reccomend what is called 'training' your buggy. See what you do is kick the thing like three or four times just to show it who is boss, and then you tell it not to do front flips. If this does not work send the car to me and I will fix it. :D

my xxx does the same thing. everything is in the back, what i do is floor the throttle, let a few feet before the jump, then hit the throttle in the air. I run mine without the wing.

Not sure if you know this but if you keep your thottle floored you will do flips no matter what. When you are in the air tap the brake a bit an let it straighten out. Im not tryin to make yo ound stupid or anything, just making sure u know this. :)

Don't hit the brakes in the air!!! You'll just do a few more forward flips. Accelerate up to the jump, let off when going up the jump, THEN hit the throttle. Your buggy should even out then. :p

ok if you do front flips you need to give it full trottle after you git off the lip of the jump on the other hand if you do back flips you push the brake while you are in the air very slightly and you should even out. :D hope this helps

since its the driveway curb thingy, i think the back of the car iz hitting the ground before you jump and in turn makes the car flip. thats jus wut i think.

youre prob is that youre jumping youre driveway its not a jump so this will naturally happen unless you set up youre shox to handle it. i'm still workin on that. meanwhile unless you want to kill youre body posts, dont jump it on the driveway! :D

xxkid is right the only way to fix this is to stiffen up the shox so that by the time the back hits the curb the front will be high enough to not make a difference
