I dont have an MRC, but it is probably to move the motor lower in the chassis to keep the weight down low.

From the research I have been doing on here it seems the biggest reason is to get the weight of the motor to help counter the natural torque twist of the shaft drive truck.

It makes room to put a lipo battery on the front tri link.

exactly. it does nothing to prevent torque twist... actual makes it worse, unless you switch the black spring to the opposite rear shock, which you will need to do if you flip the tranny.
