Default shocks on the Baja

Just wondering for those who have one, how are ther shocks on it? DO es it still bottom out or make the "whack" sounds after a jump? Others in the nitro world seem to think it depends on the oil and spring tension as well as the piston. I on the other hand have tried several different setups and still found under high jumps no matter what the c-clip inside fails and bends. If it's a threaded rod with aluminum pistons then there is no issues. PLus the weight of these machines do not make it easy!!

WHat are your thoughts/ experiences on this.

I was surprised to see that one Baja owner had a snapped piston rod when the wheel hit a goal post. They didn't mention what happened to the rear suspension arms or hinge pins. The shock bodies look nice.
