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 in a motor is in the magnets and the armature, so the
weight of the motor in a XX4
is centred, check out every 1/12th chassis and compare.
You are contradicting yourself here James, if the XX4 motor isn't centred then it isn't centred in the Lazer either as the motor in the Lazer also has the endbell further out. The motor is positioned in the same place across the chassis in both cars. The ZX-S spur is no further out from centre than the spur in the XX4.
