Hehe, nice amount of replies with mixed opinions
My choice for the motor at the front is for several reasons:
1. Space: It will be hard to get a construction with the motor over the steering assembly, yet retaining a low CoG and a tough steering set.
2. Weight distribution: FWDs have more problems getting traction than RWDs, and considering their weight balance from front to back I guess a motor in front of the diff will work best. Plus, if the weight balance does need to be further back, it's easy to add weight inside the chassis. However, mounting them in front of the chassis is way less effective and harder to fit.
I also considered using the DEX210's parts as a base, but as I am using a TRF201 right now it's only logical to use that as a base for this - I'm on a budget after all. Plus, making the Mid motor and Rear motor options possible on an FWD chassis is a bit more complicated than an RWD chassis. I just want a chassis with some degree of thought put into it that I can use to develop a better chassis - at least, that's the plan
