The material is also pretty flexible, so it takes a good punch. Since I usually opt for a little push in my car, it's the front end that hits the wall first. So for a hacker like me, the RPM is a definite parts-saver. The only downside to the RPM is the sag issue, and since I stumbled on a good fix, I thought I'd pass it along.
I too, would like to spend more time on setup and practice, but when you're fixin' it, you ain't runnin' it. Since I haven't yet figured out how to keep it off the fences, the least I can do is try to keep the wheels on it.
I hit the wall not very often but pretty hard

The durability has definitely gone up with today's cars. Still loving this car, I just can't get tired of it.
