Got home about 4:30. Kicked Mike’s machine off the trailer and went to the local DIY wash. After dropping 33.00 it’s acceptably clean.
Here’s my contribution. I didn’t take that many because I suck.

I have a question about the above tip over - we had a very similar trail out here but quite a bit steeper (going uphill). The off camber to the left was about the same. By the time I realized it was too narrow to turn around, I was leaned over, hard left and expecting to drag the driver's side all the way to the top, at least 1/2 mile.

Happily, nothing dragged, much to my surprise. :oops:

The question - I put the driver's side tires in the lowest track (going the same way as in the photo) - shouldn't this driver have done that instead of putting them up on that steep wall?

Not trying to be a dik, trying to avoid doing the same thing.

They've since leveled the trail here, I just rode it Friday and wondered where the off camber went. 🤔

Usually, you want to straddle the ditch....
And I did. Almost made it and back tire slipped down.
The above pic is me backing out trying to save it.
Without rear steering, you are at the mercy of wherever it takes you.

Thx, I thought that might be what was going on. I do try to straddle most ditches but that one is extreme. I didn't think it would be possible to get the left side to ride that angle.

Oh.. its worse ahead.
I don't have a pic. @Vondy might from several other failed attempts.

Another question for extreme tilts - it seems I read that the Talon will keep running at a steeper angle one direction than the other (left tilt vs right tilt). Have you experienced that and which side will run steeper?

I've seen your video when you were able to back up from tipped over to re-right yourself and was amazed that the buggy kept running when tipped over. That one was on the right side. I think that was the P1K though (it was dark, couldn't tell).

My P1k would cut off when tilted on the driver's side more.
The passenger side would have to be almost laid over to cut off.
Talon seems a little better on the drivers side.
It stayed running there for a bit here.

And yes, there have been similar situations where we were able to ride it back and recover.
Just got to get that right rear tire up.

It doesn’t run with it upside down for sure.

I think the video you're referring to was @Adam490's P1K5 righting itself back up, @Cyberjunk was recording him........but Adam's a one arm wonder that phucker can do stuff most can't 😂😂
