thats not such a good idea, that little of weight with fwd is nothing but fail.

no, it would be the fwd set up placed in the back of the car, similar to an ariel atom. (vtech midengine)

oh yeah, that sounds good. it might be a little ruff making the cvs work in a smaller span of space, youre gonna use shorter cv axles huh?

[gecko1000]

yeah cv's would have to be custom made. not too tricky.

sounds nice, i wanna get 2 4x4 atvs, cut the front ends off of them weld them together and make that 4x4 4wheel steering with independent suspension, i wish i had some junkers laying around.

sounds like a badass trail project. id love to see it
