More steering.

Gernerally a shorter wheelbase will react quicker and have the feeling of more steering but moving the rear arms forward will give the rear end more traction during acceleration and while coming off the corners. As a result it can cause an on-power push.
Moving the rear arms back will generally give you a smoother feeling car but from mid turn on out it can give you more on power steering.

That is a great observation. I had forgotten that.
I believe that extra angle on the leading edge of the front arms is only there to create clearance with foam tire wheels; so, I freely interchange the front arms with the rubber tires I currently use (no clearance issue with rubber). For use with foams, I can just dremel away that small amount of material on a swapped arm to use it on the opposite side.
