I have raced against these cars and yes they are fantastic and yes its won a worlds, and is better than the rest being made at the moment for balance but still the motor is not as central on the chassis as the ZX, ZXR, ZXS.
The weight is not central in a brushed motor! Thick about how much the bell end weights compared to the armature!

EDIT plus you have the weight of the slipper assembly to take into account too, thats why the motor is not central in a 2wd, but the overall weight is!
