      I think just a more appropriate tire choice would have made it effortless. Looks like they had studded rally tires on top, but I think I would have just opted for some non-studded winters.

      @@ALMX5DP your point makes sense but adding AWD means you can literally take it anywhere from San Dunes to rocks to ice with simple off road tyres and only requiring specialized tyres like the studded ones while driving through Siberia..

    • @ALMX5DP
      @ALMX5DP 5 років тому +2

      @@revaddict Let's take an Audi A3 as an example. FWD versions weigh 1450kg (3200lbs) while AWD versions weigh 1555kg (3428lbs). That's a 105kg (231lb) difference. While not much in a small sedan, when you consider the Nomad only weighs 670kg to start, adding 15% in weight is considerable. The Nomad isnt a rock crawler, it really doesnt need the front providing power. Dune tires if at the dunes, studded winters on the ice, and all terrains for the rest. Like the Atom, it's a momentum car and momentum cars just dont need that extra drive (not to mention the fun factor of keeping it rwd only).
