This is just my opinion but since it is a 6-8 week boat ride from where things are made today and that Serpent hasn't posted any detailed pictures of this "planned" buggy I believe that the final product is still unknown. Yeah you can buy wheels that's good I guess. I think people who want this buggy will have to buy it sight unseen. Ball dif, gear dif, saddle packs, shorty, who knows. I don't think Serpent knows because this close to release you would think they have some idea as to post pictures of what you are preordering.
