Impressive performance! Even more so considering you used only (except wheels) 42077 parts, which are not optimized for hardcore offroading. Well done!

Thank you.

I ordered buggy motors and wanted to test them to the limit.

The limit was Lego PF battery, so I followed by ordering 2 Buwizz units ;)
