. Why hasn't Tamiya done the same? The chassis' are pretty much identical.
I've noticed for awhile now, although I haven't checked recently, that Marc used a lot of weight under the steering rack. So I'm sure they know about weight bias too. I'll have to look at the times he has been struggling vs. the recent races to see if his weight is there.
Going back to the BD7, if you notice, you can only move the motor so far back and so far forward. Keeps a good balance that way.
