hi dave, it can take a bit of practice, but try `blipping` the throttle on take off, i havent experienced nose heavy dive, more like `on the roof landings`
just takes practice m8. metals shocks are a good idea, as soon as the threads strip on the plastic shockies they will `pop` more and more often .
have a look on ebay there`s quite a few bits and bobs out there if you want to mod it up,
and also there is a mod up kit available.
Hop up kit
cheers
Adz..
