Most 4wd cars these days have saddle packs exactly the same as the legendary kyosho, so they aren't unbalanced.
Losi XX4 has the motor in the centre and cells split, just like the kyosho. I think most belt cars have the motor placed centrally with saddle packs. Shaft drive cars have the motor as close to the centre with saddle packs.

Actually the motor is not central on the XX4, or even the tamiya 501x and the Yokomo and the XXX4. Then the shafts as you have admitted that the weight isnt balanced (even though the Tamiya Manata Ray was)
You should take a look at the XX4 and you will see. The motor is not bang in the middle, but on the side, as the gearbox is slightly off centre, so it is not perfectly balanced.
The ZXS motor is right dead centre of the chassis, the spur gear is on the side of the car.
If you look at the cars sold nowadays the motor is unbalancing the chassis, as it isnt central on the middle of the chassis, but on the side of the gearbox (like the tamiya 501x and Yokomo) and if the batts are on one side even more unbalanced.
