Default Project bulletproof stampede!

I was just looking at videos of people jumping 20+ feet in a skate park and landing on flat cement and doing tons of crazy stuff and I doubt my stampede would hold up to that. I thinking I would try and upgrade my stampede to make it near bulletproof as possible. I'll try and do it with around $150 if its possible. I already have some upgrades though!
Things I have on it now are
RPM bearing carriers
RPM wide bumper
RPM a arms all around
Duratrax 5x11 bearings all around
Aluminum shock caps on the front
Custom aluminum wheely bar
Custom stronger pin to hold on gear the spur gear shaft inside the tranny case, forgot what that gear is called
Mamba Max/VXL motor combo
Aluminum Idler
Steel ring gear diff case
Masher 2K's on RPM Clawz rims
Pro-line Chevy body
VXL steering rods
Steel outdrives

-on order-2x 2s1p 4000mah zippy lipos, Thunder AC-6 lipo charger, new servo case

Right now I hope to get
Hitec HS MG servo-$35
Ofna servo saver-$7?
big bore shocks-around $50?
STRC aluminum caster blocks $20?
maybe an aluminum front bulkhead-??
RPM shock towers-??

So far that's probably about $130-150 Any suggestions on what to bullet proof it will be very helpful! Thanks!
