And no one, I mean no one, has broken anything on the damn car!!!
call it a hunch, nothing scientific, but I really don't think that the other manf, that u listed in a previous post, would be able to come up with numbers to make a case remotely close to the Serpent... and yeah, I would challenge those to do so. Competition breads better results, not more hatred.

I believe a few pages ago Tekno did exactly what you suggest, measuring the balance of the Serpent. It made the case for the balance advantages of the EB48.
They make a nice kit for sure but the last time I saw one running, it was being driven by a guy who was close to me in pace (3rd Q in the mixed nitro/E-buggy A-main) but he broke
every run, until something broke that he couldn't replace. Part availability is tough with these too. Not to knock the design, one of the fastest nitro guys in my region runs them and his cars are soooo good. He rarely breaks.
I've had a great time with my V4 MBX6. Most of the advantages and easy part availability/cost (though it rarely breaks).
