It is perfectly OK to bottom out. That is why they call the bottom "skid plates" :)
In fact, the perfect track setup will usually bottom on the the biggest jump, but soak up the rest. If you set it up to not bottom out on the big jumps, it will usually handle the light stuff much worse(too stiff). If you are just jumping, then add 100 weight oil and some stiff springs and have at it.

Crazy - I don't find the g2R front heavy at all, really. Mine flies straight and true. The turning is impressive for the long wheelbase, too. I just got the rear setback arms(Traxxas part) in today, so I will mount these up and see what happens). I will get them listed in the store, too.
