I don't think it's a fair comparison, either, between your Porsche and a RC truck/buggy. Take your Porsche off of a 3 foot jump, scaled up, and let me know how it does.
Hehehe thanks for the laugh, I needed that. In answer to your example, the Porsche would perform admirably. And be totaled.

I completely understand shocks on buggies are built to be rebuilt. Look forward to it. But *that* short of a functional lifespan can't be considered acceptable. This "crud" has been appearing for days...
