do you mean when jumping ? if so what rear wing are you using ? kit one ?
I and several others have tried the wing back to back with the phat bodies rear wing and other large wings helps the car junmp better and also gives a little less high speed steering which we have found also helps

I've stuck a huge wing on the back of mine but to be honest I'm finding that the profile of the jumps is having a huge impact. If the jumps are built correctly the car will glide nicely, if not it won't

Stick a bigger wing on and give it a go, see what you think

The phat bodies bat wings seem to work well on the losi I ran the bigger sized one for the last national.

Seeing as the Shark has a similar layout, why not try doing what I did, and add some brass sheet under the lipo, and some next to the motor? Only need a bit with the big wing as well.
