liongeorge,

How does it handle coming down a steep slippery slope with the weight out back?

My little 411, though technically it's a long(er) wheelbase is pretty short and has a relatively high center of gravity. I'm worried that one screw up and it's over, no walking away. The tracks are long and steep here. I walk it down slowly but if you hit a wet patch or a hidden undercut and you could swap ends in a heartbeat and roll the rest of the way down. Or maybe I'm becoming a wimp in my old age.

Another question, you've got a lot more experience with Mogs than I do, what's the reasoning for reversing the tread pattern in the front?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Tom
