why not have the best layout for both, and not just a compromise?
eg C4.1 B4.1, SV2 SVR.

I've been running a rear motor sv for a few months here in Canada, and have found a couple of things. (my creation not the shumacher prototype) A rear motor 2wd doesn't unload the rear wheels under braking, giving you a chance to brake later into a turn instead of slowing into a turn. The SV2 is ecxellent at forward traction but because the saddles are so far back once you loose the rear in a turn it really swings out. This pendelum effect is more evident in switch back turns.
I run a shorty lipo down the center of my car and have Trishbits servo and bulkhead weights installed. I am a better than average racer and have had the fastest lap at a few races, besting some better drivers.
I find the SV2 to have the best steering and material quality on the martket. Add the best steering geometry to rear motor traction and you might just have the most potent 2wd around.
Is the SV2 good in the dirt and astro, yes. Will the SVR be better in the dirt, absolutly, but don't count it out for astro either.
