    Great job as usual Sarah! It looked like a semi full throttle and a longer runup would have had it bounding over the top of that incline. I guess it could get dinged doing that so for your test you'd rather crawl. Since it's relatively low bucks maybe a decent used one with a few mods would make it a better off roader?
