Well that did not end well. I looks like lack of width probably was some of reason for the roll, the other may have been Robby snapping the throttle at a time that was not real good. Sucks but the crowd dug it.

I almost wonder if he didn't roll it on purpose as part of the show ? The crowd went nuts !

That truck doesn't have sway bars in it yet So it hikes up any little bump it hits sideways. Truck #2 that is in N.C. has sway bars and Robby says is much better.

Too bad it wasn't known here in San Diego. The Capital of OffRoad. Amazing. Nice video though. Just Say'n.

They are going to need to work on that roll over stuff. From what i heard he has roll it many times. Huge power, narrow and short.

Even if it wasn't on purpose it would've been sooooo cool if it rolled back on its wheels and finished the run

I agree it was a last minute thing, I know Tonelli offroad anounced their participation for tuesday 1-2 days before. and being on vacation I could have gone to the fair. next time I guess.

That's actually a good thing . It'll make it harder to control being overpowered . You'll actually have to drive !

That's true on some level but the big shoes that robby is courting to run these things don't want to look stupid and if robby cant keep it on all 4 or at least 2 then imagine what a washed up indy or Mx rider would do. Just my thought. I'm sure they will get it much better tuned. It's new, that takes time. I certainly know that.
