Default macpherson strut suspension and jumping: bad idea?

The TB250 has MP strut suspension with only one A-arm thing? is it safe to jump or will it cause the tires to face outwards at the top and inwards at the bottom or vice versa like this \--/ or /--\ ??????

Nah, they are safe to jump........Nothing like a 30-60 footer.....but just your everyday jumping......is prob fine.......also, if you are real heavy...you might keep them a bit smaller

man i really should have gotten a TB, even though its tall, it could have still been lowered with smaller 22" tires on the front and 20 or 18" tires on the back.
