Lookit:
See how big a gap there is when that rear wheel is just hanging there? It probably looked pretty dramatic with the other side squashed down, but it's unlikely that caused any damage. If you're really worried about it, put it up on stands and slide up under there to look around. Despite how good the suspension is, it's not that complicated, and if something is broken it should show itself.
Regarding what would happen "if i started to drift my car and it did that..it would flip over lol": No, it wouldn't do that. If the tires gripped, the low center of gravity would push the force against the tire laterally and not downward like in your ramp scenario. If the tires skid, like they would in a drift, there's even less lateral force, because you don't have grip pushing back.
And with regard to the silly little Renegade on the RTI ramp, that's not flex. THIS is flex:

what in the world is that thing in that picture doing watttttttttttt
Alright the power thing is making sense now, yeah the uphill corners are good but the parking lot thing had me scratching my head as i was going 2-3mph into the parking lol
