I am not sure as I would expect what you suggest G' but I can assure you that on the track you can definitely feel the front of the car dig in and grip as you jump on the throttle even though it should in theory have the least tire load. I think the signifcant difference is that the FS doesn't transfer anywhere near as much weight rearwards, it certainly doesn't "squat" when you punch it (this was always what I was fighting with the BJ4/B44/D4 style cars weight distribution ... not checked it absolutely but in hand the FS feels similar to a saddle Pred with NiMhs in .. should really corner weight the car shouldn't I).

I am not familiar with the set-up on the D4 but the FS assembly has no thrust race or similar in place ... answers on a post card
