Huge FF mod

I really, really want to take my ZipZap SE I've got, and mod it to be front wheel, front engine. Is this possible?

I know there will be some technical issues. Since the motor turns the rear axle to provide power, and since there is no front axle for the front tires... I would have to create gears to go from the engine to the front two tires themselves, and somehow be able to turn.

Does anyone have any ideas to toss up on how to do this? Front wheels steer, Front wheels get power.

it is basically impossible, unless you got msall fingers and patients. I tried and failed, it worked for about 2 runs. Then i riped the gears apart with the tri cell power.
