SimonR:
Looks like you've done something interesting with the engine / gearbox / transfer box?
Is it something like placing the transfer box becide the gearbox and using a chain drive (or another transfer box) to connect the two together?
I've had a mid engine vehicle on the drawing board for about a decade now - but something like that would solve a lot of the problems in one hit - not least reversing the drive so you don't have to invert the axles.
Can you give us any more info in engine, boxes & axles?
Your's is one of the first vehicles of this type I've seen where everything looks deliberate, rather than designed on the fly as it's been assembled. Nice bit of design & tube work!
Cheers,
Si
