CP3 has a major tendency to nose dive even off of curbs. WHat could I do to prevent this. I already adjusted the wing to push the rear down but this has not helped. Suggestions?
 
With buggies, I have noticed that you want to keep the throttle hammerred when you launch off a ramp, off of objects, stairs and so on. Dont let off just before hand like a traditional truck jump. That SHOULD help.

You might have the rear suspension too stiff too.

One step ahead of you on that one. I changed oil from 70 to 45 in the rear. I may have to lighten it up even more because it still feels really tight but not at tight as before.

I may be backing off but I may not. I'll try to see if I was doing this tomorrow.
 
You're on the right track. If the rear end is kicking up on you then go to a lighter oil. Don't go too light though or it will get bouncy.
