You probably knew all this

I agree angles are the issue however I did hit a wall flat out in Jan this year and wasnt going slow. I didnt break anything other than the top deck and chassis, everything else is still being used and in perfect working order.
Still I do think the original is fine but the deisgn I have in my head is fractionally longer so should protect the car if going sideways into say a track marker at speed.
