No, its not it. I wish I could find it. He went to the end of his icy street, took off at about 25-30, and started to swerve back and forth like a madman. No spin, no flip.

Tried searching too, and it wont even see THIS thread.

The video shows a 450, which I believe lacks the stability controls present in the 451s we have.

Not sure on the 450s; even with ESC on the 451s, once the tires lose traction all bets are off.
