@MBS Some additional thoughts about 4wd I didn’t see already mentioned, so want to add.
For context, most of my riding currently happens on a track, so this is going to be mainly from a asphalt-racing perspective. Not sure how much this translates to dirt.
I frequently switch between Ankle Wreacher (4wd) and Nothing Fancy (2wd).
Power in the rear “pushes” you into a corner, while power in the front “pulls” you around it. What I mean is if you stand on a deck, tilt it to one side, and look at the direction that the trucks are facing, only the front motors are pointed in the direction that you’re actually trying to go. The rear motors are pointed to the outside of the corner.
When applying power through a turn on 4wd, I’m able to feel my front wanting to pivot around the corner, pulling itself around, and back under me.
PS: I’ve hit 16.7kW doing launches
