Absolutely. Mid-motor 2wd buggies run an extra idler gear in the transmission to flip the motor over to get more weight transfer to the rear under acceleration.
What you're seeing in the video is mostly from the wheels and tyres.
With the wheels removed, its from the drivetrain, with some of it cancelled out by the rotor.
An interesting experiment (once the wheels are off), as it shows that even though the drivetrain is going a lot slower than the rotor (due to the gear ratio), the fact its heavier and that the diffs have a large diameter mean the drivetrain creates a bigger force than the rotor does.
