Then it becomes a whole different matter. Well, I actually like some lower-revving big engines, but in a vehicle similar to the Roxor something like a Cummins 4BT or the ISB4.5 would make it too nose-heavy and make it get stuck more frequently. Downsizing vs. downrevving doesn't leave room for some one-size-fits-all approach.
