very interested in this thread and FF cars in general. just a few questions that peaked my interest as I'm unfamiliar with the designs. that prototype reminds me somewhat of the yokomo yr4 f2 car. is there a benefit to the trailing arm like design vs the independent suspension we see in our 4wd counterparts?
also as mentioned and discussed, but why do most FF cars have their motor hanging in front of the drive axles instead of behind for better weight distribution and handling? is the additional weight in front of the axle that important for increased traction for our little 1/10 cars?
