I meant that the front side - side was equal across the car and the rear side - side was equal across the car, not that front and rear weight distribution would be equal (ie. 50 / 50).
If you look at comparing the S4 and BJ4WE it's based on you will find that the front / rear split on those cars are quite different, some will prefer teh stability of the more rearward weight balance of teh BJ4WE ... many seem to prefer the more forward weight distribution of the S4 as it makes the front the car easier to set up to steer agressively.
It's all about personal preference at the end of the day. I was just stating my first thoughts on seeing the car, not wanting to start some heavy debate.
No doubting that the Serpent is going to be built almost bomb proof .... I remember my old 1/8th on-road car from the late 80s ... if you hit something with that it disintergrated and the Serpent just carried on!!
I am sure it will be the strongest off-roader out there which will make it very popular for that reason alone!
