Only really 2 things you can do since the car has no slipper.

1. Go easier on the throttle. Seriously, set your expo on your throttle by around -30% so that the kick doesn't come in so hard. Or if your ESC allows it select a softer profile.
2. Loosen the rear diff a little. Unfortunately that also means rebuilding the diff more often as the balls/plates will become your slipper and wear out quicker.

it does have different throttle profiles so could try that
as for the diff, if i cant get used to the throttle profile right i can back the diff off, as i rebuild it after most meetings.

so you dont think it could be down to my rear shocks been abit to firm as well?

and cheers

If you soften the rear it will make the wheelies worse. The rear will squat more transfering more wieght over the back and making the front lighter.

Reducing front droop will help although it will start to affect other handling traights.

I had to dial mine out with throttle profile when i was running SWB.

i will dial the profile out at next meeting this Saturday and if that do est work
i can stiffen back up then, i have put a SC18 shell on hoping that the front screen will help a bit(with it been further forward)then on the buggy.

If at all possible pickup a long wheel base chassis and drive shaft and convert it to LWB. It's one of the best upgrades you will ever make.
