Anyone say how there better? More weight? More weight over the front? Geometry?

Probably less weight shift, mid 4 gear cars get a lot of torque reaction from the motor. Going to shaft drive puts that across the car which seems less noticeable (maybe the prop shaft helps cancel the reaction). I think the K1 runs the motor the opposite way to a 4 gear car, so against the direction of the wheels meaning less overall torque reaction.
I'm not sure trying to ban '4wd designed' cars from 2wd will work, surely if they work then dedicated 2wd versions will be on their way e.g. TM2.
Personally I don't really like the feel of the large torque reaction from mid 4 gear cars anyway and I think if anything the 'less weight shift' mid motor cars feel slightly closer to good old rear motor.
