Might also be the speed. I think we're hitting it at ~9fps or so?
I can get back to you on pressure when I can check. I'm certain all our defenses are built correctly, but this can be checked as well. One contributor to the way we cross the rock wall is the fact that our wheels are fairly close compared to most other 6 wheelers. This is why we're so wide. The wheelbase is very short in the forward to back direction.
