All RC off road vehicles are made to bottom out on the bigger jumps and if they did not you would break a WHOLE lot more parts.

Raise your chassis, tighten springs, thicker shock oil. Bigger tires maybe?

Might be all right if you are a basher but if you are a racer or like good handling this would not be the way to go! All so if you do medium or big jumps see what all you break. [X(]

use red bull instead of nitro...itll give it wings
just use thinker oil, stiffer springs, or change the shock piston to one wit smaller holes
