I think you are saying that, in scale terms, 1/10 off road dampers experience higher forces than a full size rally car, when jumping.

If you are bored at lunchtime try working this out;

1) Kinetic energy of a 1.6kg 1/10 off road car just before hitting the ground from a jump 20 times the cars height.
2) Kinetic energy of a 1500kg WRC car just before hitting the ground from a jump 2 or 3 times its height (Rally New Zealand).
