Front Wheel Drive Offroad?

Many of these look very odd (being kind).

How about choosing a gearbox with a much lower height than usual? That way the car might have a chance of looking attractive. What are those gearboxes some of you put in the vintage RC10? They looked low and long, with metal sides and belt drive I think... could be a starting point.

Now THESE are the cars best suited for those cab-forward Bulldog tadpole-polliwog bodies.

Come to think of it, they actually look like a frog or a juicy cricket, with rear legs splayed out & extended in mid-hop.
