The cool thing with BJ is he is liked AND respected by the other racers.

I have no idea how to setup an offroad vehicle, but I would assume Robby likes things in his vehicles, or setups, that another driver might not, so I would say no.

I think the Vanguard H3 (4Dakar) and the Monster H3 (2Dakar) are similar, but Carlo's H3 is built on a different Alpha Cars LTD chassis. If you look at the pictures posted last week with them side by side at RG Offroad you can see the black framed H3 and the gray chassis H3 have different upper front suspension geometry and frame designs. Close but different.
