Front Wheel Drive Reverse Trike...
Anyone building one, built one... own one!!!???
I'd be interested to hear what the driving dynamics are like on one.
I guess with a short enough wheelbase, then it won't make a heck of a lot of handling difference between a front and rear driven axle... but I
could be wrong... I frequently am!!! 
It's Evolution Baby!

Blackjack say it's the only way to go. Good weight distribution and traction. simple rear end.
I had a test drive in a lomax many years ago. It felt quite normal really, save for the umbrella gearshift.

FRS trike 1127 (google it for more photos)
Supposedly a bit of a hillclimb beast. I saw someone selling a nicely worked version of this at Stoneleigh in 2011, but can't remember the name
of the company.

I had the privilege of a back seat ride in the FRS at Blyton last week. I can certify that it is bonkers fast and the handling put all the other three
wheelers there to shame ( including Grinnall, MEV, Morgan etc.)
The Blackjack was also there, FWD, and apparently a very tidy handler too!
