Nothing wrong with having large jumps IMO if they are well designed
The big double was a bit of an issue in 2wd trying to keep the nose down, the changes I made to the car were very biased to making the car jump properly and then 'living with it' round the rest of the track, yet in 4wd with all wheels braking the jump was no issue. The quad in 2wd was fun because it was just that bit too long to do all in one reliably so nobody really tried, but there was time to be made landing smoothly and giving it a quick squirt between 3 and 4. In 4wd though it was gash IMO, it was such a lottery as to if your car would survive even if you landed properly.
To give you an idea how rough a landing it was in Q2 4WD near the start of the run I landed about half way down the downslope of the last jump of the quad and the lugs on one side of my steering servo broke clean off
