you have 3 main agnles to worry about while playing off road.
1. Approach Angle. (pic3) this is as you approach an obsticle. the angle runs from front wheel to lowest point on front of vehicle.
2. ramp over( breakover) (pic2) angle from rear of front wheel to center of wheel base and down to front of rear wheel.
3.derarture angle. (pic1) from rear of rear wheel to lowest point of contact on the rear of you vehicle.
always try and get out of your vehicle and have a visable check to see if you will make all 3 angles before trying to tackle an obsticle
