Took my R1T on a shakedown trip out to Hollister Hills SVRA.

Really felt the length vs my previous '13 FJ Trail Teams: it was a bit harder to maneuver around the trails.

On the other hand, it was way more confident wrt roll: you really feel the weight is all down in the battery pack. Never thought it was going to tip. The max 14.9" of ground clearance is pretty ridiculous also: was no where near scraping (and anyway I have the reinforced underbody shield), whereas I've had a few (minor) hits to the skid plates on the FJ. All this added up to being able to get through black trails a lot faster, despite this being my first time running them in this truck.

Unfortunately didn't stop to get any pics on the trails: all I have are these ones on the way out of the park .
