FWD XMOD gen1? I made a FRD civic and rsx, and i made one of my old Scions FWD. But the FRD on 2nd Gen XMODS dont work as good as the first gen's. Just a lil curious to see if anyone has.

i would think that you loose speed since you are draging the car behinde the front tires. lol and to think of it speed is based on the gear ratios on the motor.

If you do it right FWD works really well on both xmod chassis. My gen1 civic with FWD will smoke my buddies supra and he has all the same settings besides the FWD. If you think about it you get the speed and power of a two wheel drive xmod with the handeling of a fourwheel drive xmod.

This belongs in beginners questions.

Secondly, MANY have done a front-wheel drive XMOD before. Try using the search function next time...

i did it on my STI a while ago and on my tC, but i converted both back to AWD after i drove them. Too much wheel hop was going on. Its not a practical way to have a good car, plus corners suck with FWD.

FWD sucks period. Unless you like little traction off the line, and understeer galore.

You dont get the acceleration of RWD, due to the laws of physics, and you dont get the handling and acceleration of AWD, again due to physics. Otherwise my propulse should be a freaking rocket when the glue in the rear diff fails. Plus, the parasitic drag of the drivetrain is all still there with FWD in an xmod..
