One with the rear arm pivots closer or equal than the front ones,like the mp9 tki3, the xray xb8, Hb d81x, serpent srx8 and the JQ black edition...
TLR, Mugen and the AE have the rear pivots wider than the front and are compromised on rear traction also because of the rear upper link length. Shortening them would help, coupled with making the driveshafts parallel with the lower arms. Then you'd have to play with springs and roll bars to achieve the balance you like, at that point you also have to ponder if it is worth the trouble you go through when you could buy one of the above mentioned buggies and enjoy more rear traction right away.
