Ok here is the thread about the person interested in making a FWD 1/18 buggy.

My first FWD buggy was a custom build based on Kyosho Triumph & Ultima parts.The motor hangs in front of the front axle and has double wishbones all around.On power it understeers a lot ,but I swear,not matter what I did ,no matter what tires it had on the back,it never oversteered itself out of control.Very predictable.Very different than a conventional 2wd.
I work now on a machine in the veins of the Ryuz with trailing arms in the rear.It uses the B4 transmission but all else is custom with big trailing arms in the rear.Wheelbase and trailing arm length is what I am playing with at the moment.I will possibly bring it to a future event for those interested in having one.
In 1/18 we are making the shock absorbers for the car this month.It is very impressive and 100% made by us(diff,suspension,everything...).I was bummed to find out about the regulation excluding them from 2wd as it was not there last year
