I am using the innermost lower shock mounting hole so the spring are relatively "soft". I started the day with reds and the car understeered, switching to oranges made the car pretty neutral.

I want to know if this nose dive tendency is common to mid motor conversion, or particular to mine. It feels too severe to be a simple setup problem. I've been racing conventional 2WD buggies for more than 15 years and never had one nosedive like this regardless of the setup.

I feel my conversion also had a tendency to roll over to the side but this was not as severe and felt like it could be impruved with a better setup.

I'm concerned that maybe the center of gravity is too high or the wheelbase is too long.
