I'm thinking of getting a mini z overland, but they look like hey have high cg's and would roll over easily. I'm really hoping someone can contradict me and tell me that it takes a huge effort to get these things on their sides or backs.

sorry, they do flip easily...you can fix this though. lower the susupension, use racer wheels etc. there are some who race lowered overlands...and seem to really like it!

Arch is right, they do flip easily, but they are still a whole lotta fun! Out in the dirt and rock crawling and stuff, they are bound to flip. But still, they are a ton of fun in a small place!:D

I don't think I could ever have as much fun with a racer as I do with my Overland. I set up rally, Baja, Stadium, winding road, hill-climbs. They are tons of fun just to jump. I just love to sit there sometimes and run it slowly over bumps and watch the articulation of the suspension. I had a hillclimb contest today at my house. I set up a bunch of pillows with different bumpy parts pokin' out, and covered them with a piece of carpet and a door mat. Way fun!!!

Oh yeah, i forgot how that can be. I'm getting one anyway, hopefully. No damn time, but i got the money. They look like so much fun. I had my eyes on a tamiya bruiser, but this is like,,,, portable, at least more. And bruiser's are so expensive. I can climb with these too.
