I picked up an RPM wide front bumper in blue today (Part # 81165) to help protect the front suspension from front impact damage. The quality and design on the piece is really good and, so far, it seems to be doing its job well.

I was also able to try out the new suspension settings some more tonight. I tested it using two skate ramps back to back and spaced out about 4-6 feet which allowed or a smoother landing…when I was able to hit it just right. The new adjusted preload definitely seems to help with big landings, as does having a smoother transition with the landing ramp. I'm definitely getting better control of the car, although I certainly did my share of roof-skidding. D'oh!
