That's what I've been told too. Cars are generally going for wider front track too. The latest V-Dezign Carpet Ripper V has 2mm longer wheelbase and 3mm wider front track than my CRC Gen-XL. Cars are slowly moving to what is more optimal with the weight of LiPo than what was best with NiMh.
I'm not at all sure about the longitudinal cell positioning though. There are various potential problems in my mind, especially if the cell is not central. There are other ways of moving the centre of gravity further forwards.
