Legal issues aside this Custom Sport Van It has a maximum weight ratio and very advantageous power because it has 17 hp to move the 2,900 kg of MMA. But the momentum is not just a question of the available cavalry, because if we do not have adequate developments correctly linking effort between each of the marches, we must use the change over the account.

Something which in this case is well resolved, as have a first rather short in practice will not many drawbacks to start using the second relationship.
