Your ignorance is blinding. Only thing I don't like about it is the rear steer on it because it is probably full hydraulic which tends to cause some problems if the line breaks.

The bad thing about it is that it is run hydraulically and if you sever a line it is just dead weight. I have seen a couple break during a turn and the driver has to drive in a "crabwalk" until he can get it fixed, which takes a pressure fitted line and a refill and bleed of the hydraulic lines. If it is also a hydraulic front end then the front will go dead as well but in this case he has hydraulic assist which is like a super form of power steering. When pressure drops in the front it basically reverts back to manual steering which can be pretty tough on the rocks to use.
Another downfall is it puts you in a higher class of rigs if you go for competition and you are put up against buggies. It's not impossible to do well against the buggies but full bodied rigs don't usually place in the top five. You are also docked points if you use rear steer during competition much the same as if you were to reverse, tie a spotter line, or hit a cone.
