Just because two cars weigh the same doesn't mean they will operate the same if one is 400 pounds lighter in the body and 400 pounds heavier on the wheels. I like the idea of hub motors, just that argument isn't helping it.

oh and since i live in the heart of frozen tundra (i get a little dramatic about the weather at this time of year) keeping the motors out of the sand, salt and water sounds like a great idea.
