Too much eh. I'll keep searching

I figured to avoid nose dives I just need to push the throttle again after I jump but it doesn't really work. I'm still very new to this so I'd love some advice. I can do front flips but I cant figure out how to do back flips or just do a jump without the truck doing a nose dive or flipping. Do I need to adjust my throttle response or something? Sorry for being such a noob. I've searched for threads on this and didnt find anything relevant.

I've only taken it out twice but watching videos it seems like they are always doing back flips and all my kraton will do is nose dive, or if I hit the brake I can land a front flip.

I suspect your ramp may not be steep enough. Aim for at least a 45 degree incline. I also find upward curvature opposed to flat ramps work better. Aim to jump higher at slow speed rather than farther at high speed. A low to medium speed approach and accelerating up the ramp will help initiate the rotation. Once in the air, your RC should be pointing up and on it's way to becoming inverted. A quick throttle blip should bring it around. There's a lot of timing, throttle/brake finesse, and judgment involved that may take time to acquire. A grassy and/or downhill landing surface will also help mitigate "some" damage while learning.

Looks like you got her around a little too far. Arms are cheap at Jennysrc.

i need a wider ramp so i don't continue to break sh!t before i even enter the air...

I built both of these for about $50 and 2 hrs
