b6 nose down

[eugine]

Hi guys
I run a B6 on a very flat and grippy astro surface with big jumps.

My B6 is flying dramaticaly nose down. I am obliged to accelerate at maximum in the air to flatten the car. Sometimes it is not suficient and it lands verticaly

Any idea to improve that ?
My set-up:
Little drag brake
Front shocks: Red springs, 45 Losi oil, standart pistons
Rear: Blue springs 37.5 Losi oil, standart pistons
Ride high 18-19 mm

Thank you

I would say take the Drag brake off completely

plus it's an easy thing to try. No need to fart about with weights. When a 2wd car is in the air it doesn't take much braking to get the front end pointing downwards.

I already removed the front weights, lets says 15-18gr, with very few improvement.
I will try with no drag brake. Thanks to both.

Also consider your rear shock package. Sounds a little too stiff, not familiar with Losi oils, but 37.5wt on the rear sounds thick, combined with stiff spring (blue) could be kicking up the back end over the ramp pitching the nose down....
Ideally need to see the car in action to advise better, but that's a thought. Most b6s that I've seen jump well and a look nicely adjustable in the air.

What surface do you run to go with 37.5 rear oil, most run about 32.5 max
