    I prefer rubber side down myself. That said, when you push in any direction making the obstacles harder, eventually you get to hard enough and you're risking the roll. Plenty of rock crawling under 5mph that leads to rolls...

    I rolled my Big Wheel while drifting it when I was 6.
    The good news is the lower pivot's stayed in tact.

    Nothing against 4X but I don't see their cage being effective at high speeds (if they build it similar to the 1st Gen Cages)

    I can't belive I'm saying this, but in that specific situation, I think it was probably for the best that you didn't have gusseted spindles.
