Already got made fun of by some teenagers with more fragile egos and less expendable income than me.
Could've just asked and I would've let them try!

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Unfortunately my buggy truck is fairly thin, and as such I've only managed to plant it sideways twice in 7 months.
If I had better parts in it (there's a bunch of upgradeable pieces like the axles, gears, and drive shaft) then I could just put a 4s battery in and use the wheel momentum to flip it, but that's an extra $100-120 or so and i can't really justify that expense while job hunting lol
I don't think it would work with a buggy anyway, it only works with rock crawlers because they have locked diffs.
Not with anywhere near the control as a locking dif, for sure.
I've got a LSdiff on mine and one of the times it was sideways, I managed to get it to wiggle a bit in my direction and then it caught a bit of gravel just right, spun once or twice, and flopped onto its back. I wasn't REALLY trying to control it well, since I was already walking toward it. I'm sure someone with more experience could get it to move where they want it. Again, just not as well as a locking diff
I used to have an HPI Savage that I could flip over just by hammering the throttle. The down side was that happened pretty much any time you gave it throttle so all it did was flip.
Any way to turn this into an income?
Trying to make money from a hobby will just ruin the hobby.
May. Not in my case.
