Li Zhang,

In response to your question: How steep can the slope be before the vehicle can’t maneuver?

Unfortunately the drivers of these buggys are not afraid of a challenge and never look at the slope as unobtainable. The will try and try to crawl the slope until the buggy determines that game is over by rolling over or simply dening the attempts. I am still shocked every now and then to see the slopes that these buggies are able to crawl.

@Li Zhang
Interesting question. I’ll see if I can get Kristin back to answer that.

Team Dp4×4 Buggy recently weighed in at the Perris California W.E. Rock Event at 3,750lbs.

I guess that is not a light one too. At least there is a standard level of the weight.

I’ll have to check on the weight, I’m not sure.

These things are made for accidents though. I’ll be adding a picture of one of the competitors rolling down a hill in a cloud of dust. An important part of the team is the metal fabricators to keep these things looking great. Damage happens.

Full roll cage, racing harness (instead of seat belts), helmet, fire retardant suits. A lot goes into keeping the driver safe.

How much that one weight? Not much I guess. so there are very much possibilities to have any accident.
