    Team Associated tried this 20 years ago with the RC10DS (Dual Sport). It was a cool car that used the aluminum tub from an RC10 buggy/stadium truck with short shocks, short arms, and on-road...

    I was experimenting with RWD in rally few years ago - it handled pretty well, was not that much sensitive to power - on tarmac it was almost impossible to spin under power (15,5t motor).. It all...

    I've built a couple, with mid-rear and full-rear motor mounting positions, and they still handle like shit even with pro-compound tires. The basic fact of the matter is, touring car tires are too...
