I am not sure I understand your statement. increase pod droop is done by increasing shock length. so if you are saying weight transfer is the cause of the increase in steering, I would have to agree with that part, but the increase in weight transfer is due the extended shock length allow more weight to shift forward. and there for the shock extends.
also, i understand that the motor climbs the spur, but the tire also produces tangental forces. And the sum of all these forces would be zero, but the addition of friction between tire and ground allows the tangental forces that are in the forward direction to move the car foward. if the tire were to spin in a vacumn, the car would neither move forward or backward.
