There are numerous ways to do that at Glamis. Hit a witches eye. Charge over a dune that is a razorback. Etc., etc., etc.
It's pretty late in the season, so many duners will wait for next season's crop to come out before making a machine buying decision, but as turbo kits get out there, the Talon population at the dunes will increase, and the chassis WILL be put to the test. If there are weak links they will turn up in short order at Glamis.

Looks like it broke a lower ball joint. They removed the shock, strapped up the suspension, hung a couple guys off the right side and amazingly, they drove it away on 3 wheels!

It ill be back to fight another day :)

The pod lights in the factory headlight placement looked similar to the factory racers at koh, might be a coincidence, might not...

You can purchase that setup from Baja Designs.
