If it did, you would see more of them.

Yokomo made a very fast front wheel drive sedan.... too fast actually since they banned it from competition. Kind of funny how that worked out. An RC class pops up that uses the bodies front FWD automobiles and yet the RC version can't be FWD!?!?

Apparently it was actually very fast and that's the reason why the rules now say 2WD buggies must be RWD and FWD has to run in 4WD, and ofcourse it's not going to be as fast as a 4WD.

Oh my... That Ryuz FWD is a thing of beauty! It looks like a modded up 2wd but I really love seeing these custom mods...

Do you guys remember the days when RCCA's Reader's Rides section used to be filled with custom rides? Like custom trailer and custom this and that? You still see it from time to time but it's not as prevalent...

I could've swore I saw that FWD buggy run in some "vintage" series?
