I am new to RC car racing, first time ever. We race on a carpeted road course. I am driving a Losi JRXS, my son-in-law has helped me set it up and it is ok except for one thing. When I am making the sharp turns i have a "hop" in the front end. The front end bounces and it doesn't seem to matter if I am turning left or right. I have run new and older tires and it still has the hop.

I don't know a lot about the set up but can find out. Any ideas on what to try?

One idea -- check the front tire camber. If the tires don't have enough camber (they don't lean in enough), then in a turn, the outside front tire will roll up onto the outer edge, and almost try to tuck under, then it will lose traction and "hop"... You need about -1.0-1.5 degrees of negative camber...
