Because FF buggies don't work well with inboard motors.
The Maxxum had the motor behind the steering linkage, it could never put the power down. The successful Japanese FF buggies all had the motor hanging out in front, and on loose dirt tracks they they were as fast as any rwd buggy.
A few examples:
Grahoos Poprod
Old Ryuz style FFs and Bloodclods Ryuz style build and
on Oople
Bloodclods FF03B
