Ah yes, 'Mad' Mike Barton and his Fab2000 (Cougar based) and Fab10 (RC10 based).
Don't think they were very popular off-road, as at the time UK tracks were mostly grass so I guess rear motor was better.
But on-road (with foam tyres) and on carpet the Fab2000 was excellent, I remember Mike and a couple of others running them at Ashby back in the early 90s.
So really, everyone copied Mad Mike and should thank him for the current layout, even though it's took 18 years to truly catch on
