Default b44.2 nose diving badly

I have been running a 44.1 but upgraded this week to a 44.2. all is well except the car is nose diving badly. when bought this car had no spine weights so as my 44.1 I added 85 on the rear spine between batteries. still no luck so I added some brass under the batteries. still no luck. gave the car to another 2 respected drivers and the same. total control and planted but nose dives. might I say not a large jump.
taken slow =dive
fast with a blip in air =same
all micros when untouched by the jump and other style cars where all ok.
the jump was shaped like a quarter pipe.
was it just down to the jump or some thing else im missing.

Is the drive train free?
How much drag brake ?
Does it coast ok without stopping too quickly?
So you've tried the blipping in the air to bring the front up??

Was gonna say basically same as above.

Something must be dramatically slowing the rotation of the wheels.

If you maintain rpm off the jump and while in the air it should stay flat. Id look at the drivetrain, maybe there is some binding.

Id also say dont let off the throttle when you hit jump, but im sure you knew that anyway.

yes I have checked the drive train. no binding and I don't run any drag brake but that's what it feels like is on.and the other drivers stated that's what it like. basically the set up is the same as my 44.1 and was ok with that . it feels like it being kicked up the bum off the jump.
