Car felt very good but had a bit of a high speed push and rear end would kick up on some of the jumps. I would appreciate feedback from anyone on how the car looks on track and any changes you would recommend. I have some tuning springs for front and rear but nothing softer then the kit yellow just yet which is what I think is needed to stop the rear from kicking up like that.
Thanks...here is the link.

It's a bit hard to see in the video, but I think you're running mid-motor? I was getting a bit of high speed push indoors, you maybe want to try coming down on the kick up and leaving the 5 degree blocks in, or shortening the front link again to make it a bit more responsive. I found the push went away when there was more grip, I've not tried back to back, but I've not experienced the push since moving to the HRC rear toe block either.
I've also found the rear of mine popping up a bit, I tried a white spring, it maybe helped a little as did a bit more rear weight. I'm still finding it a general characteristic of the car so far though, one thing that helps is keep the throttle on! I had a style of coasting onto bumps/jumps with my B4 which was fine, but, perhaps it's the motor rotation, coming off the power can cause the rear to lift, keep on the throttle and it stays a lot flatter, even landing with some throttle was helping keep the rear down.
