It's always a question of compromise. We will have to see whether they have gained more in speed than they have lost in handling.
Now if we could have a car with central cells and motors and long wishbones and drive shafts, and low C of G, and tons of speed, and light as a feather, and ...............DREAM ON.
Why do you need long suspension arms for....? We don't run cars off-road. You only need a few mm's of travel. Losi could've made the arms longer if they wanted too. The HPI had long arms not short ones, problem with that car was the flexi chassis. Real life sedan race cars have short wishbone arms.
