OK, I admit I'm a wee bit confused right now

I thought the S2 was the golden middle way between a X-6 and a B4, but now you're telling me it has the same weight balance. You're also saying X-Factorys statement about the B4 weight balance is wrong? (see previous post) Did you check this using scales or did you simulate it?

To sum it up:
X-Factory claims a typical 2WD has 70% rear / 30% front
X-Factory claims the X-6 has 55% rear / 45% front"
Elvo claims the B4 has 65% rear /35 % front with the batts in full rear position
Elvo claims the S2 also has 65% rear /35 % front with the batts in full rear position

Why is the S2 then faster & easier to drive for most people? I have a feeling the very best guys are as fast with a B4, but for Joe Racer it's better, right?

(the mere looks of the S2 is of course also an important reason for wanting one)

Btw I'd love to know the weight balance also for XX4, X-5, B44, S4, S44, MID44, A-1...
