There is only the motor and gearbox in front of the front axle, and this is a proven layout that has been used in previous successful fwd buggies, You can find links to them in my post on the first page of this thread. As for handling, they do require a different driving style as they never spin out. According to Blooclods FF build you coast into the corner and once turned in just power all the way through the corner.
Although Bloodclod has closed his youtube account, I have found a copy of his video of his FF in action and uploaded it
here.
