Every bronco has it's limits !!!

Well, for the last few days I was testing free bee in the back yard, well, ok, so I was playin in the back yard :-) None the less I found a cool little spot by the pond that I hadn't tried yet so I thought I'd give it a shot and, well........


It took all the sploder could dive to tug it back out and probly $20 in quarters to get it clean again lol

i dont beleive in this whole "limits" thing.....

i think that the problem was, you were not going fast enough to conquer the challenge....... try a higher rate of speed, if that fails, try faster and ect

you will win, eventually...... lol

I have to agree with Matt, however this close to frostbite, you are taking quite a chance on breaking it and missing out on that trip...

Well, where I got it stuck is part of the ditch that runs thru the yard so the ground is nice and dry then you drop down about 2' into a soggy mess and it just wouldn't pop out the other side :-(

And yes there is the possibility of breaking something but I would much rather have it happen a coupe hundred yards from the garage than a couple hundred miles!! I really was putting it thru it's paces, this is gonna be the first time free bee has been wheelin' so I wanted to make sure everything was gonna work before I towed it all the way out there. And really it has done suprisingly well!! A bit west of where it was stuck is a nice little part of the creek that is about 4' across and 3' deep and it crawls in and out of there with no problems. I have been thru the "sippy hole" next to the pond and it motors right thru. I think that whenever Chad brings Elvis down for a little wheelin' I will convince him to try that hole :-)
