Default XB4 landing on its nose

I've my XB4 twice and am very happy with it aprt from one problem.
It seems to want to nose dive off the jumps.
Weight at the back seems to help but is there a more permament solution?
Any help welcomed

are you running any drag brake? That could cause it to dive in the air.

Love my XB4 i found i turned down alot of my braking power right away. Even off of small jumps i found it easy to endo on the front end.. Once i dialed it away i had alot less nose dive mistakes

Not sure what oil and pistons I was running as I bought the car second hand but will dial down the drag break.
I've heard about ralls racing rear shock tower reducing rotation. does this help?

sort your shocks out so it jumps flatter as for nathans towers yeah they help rotation no essential tho

there is no one thing that will make the car perfect.
