Fireteam Arrma 6s Fireteam shocks for jumping?

[TyphoonS3]

Hello everyone I've been jumping my 6S Fireteam on my 14" wood ramp (Flat Bank, no curve) for a couple of months now. Well I've recently added body braces and extra screws to the chassy and got it really stiff. I also added 4 extra 1/10 shocks so 4 stock 4 - 1/10 shocks.Well there's is no flexibility it seems great I've been jumping today landing pretty smooth. I got cocky with it and rolled it several times and slammed it once. It seems to roll easier being stiff. A shock I added mounting screw bent, My Question is there a larger aftermarket shock that can handle more impact. If so what website I've had bad luck with aftermarket parts.

Fireteam is 1/7 do I buy 1/5 or 1/6 shocks and put them on my 1/7? Any info would be helpful thanks guys.

Lol Yea I seem to have a problem not caring about the $669 dollars I spent and I'm poor. I don't have a problem customize everything for strength lol. My friend thinks I'm crazy because he wants his car perfect, stock and is scared to customize. All I know is I'm ripping and tearing while he put puts around on the sideline scared. To fail and learn the hard way but LEARN is better than sitting idle.

Did you paint all the red on your car? I like the color contrast. Is it holding up OK?
