Just thought I'd post an update of how it's going.
I enjoyed the near 50/50 front to back weight distribution and being able to push so hard, point and shoot steering. Using a virtually locked up diff but is quite harsh on the transmission with wear rate being quite high and tires only lasting maybe 1.5 rounds.

All is not lost, I am now modding it slightly, both saddles will now be at the back with the motor up front, this is to aid cooling. I've fitted a 80 t spur so I may use a 13.5t motor and then will enter our stock (motor) buggy class.
Have also decided to use the 4wd front wishbones and steering arms joined to the 2wd bulkhead.
