I would guess that on carpet you are trying to get the rear end to rotate as much as you can. The HRC in my experience does not hurt fwd bite just allows the rear end to rotate through the corner more. So with mid motors giving more steering as the goal is getting the rear end to rotate under extreme traction conditions I could see HRC being popular for those types of tracks. Now if you are running mid motor in less then ideal conditions LRC might be better to help lock in the rear end of the car since traction is not ideal and you don't have the weight back there to help.
