Its a bit of both to be honest.... that's the thing with brushless motors - all that torque can pull the front wheels up even when you decide to open the throttle wide open when you are already halfway down the straight & already at speed! We never used to use weight to aid handling bitd - with the marginal battery duration, we did everything we could to get the cars as light as possible... the thought of adding weight didn't cross our minds!! But certainly on high grip astro the weight on the front helps keep the front end keyed into the desired racing line through a corner & helps reduce that sudden break away into understeer as the power is applied coming out of the corner - where a rear motor car always looses out (over its mid-motor counterparts) when the grip is high!
