i guess the point i was trying to make is that the belts are the weak link already
i think the only way you could damage the aluminum shaft is if you were involved in a terrible accident where the mid block was broken away from the chassis or something

OK, thanks for the help guys. I guess you can't go wrong with both. I plan on lowering the rotating mass a little bit with hollow mid and 2 speed shafts, 1st and 2nd gear housings, etc.
BTW, some of the locals at Crystal Park are using MRX3 front belts with good results. Hopefully it lasts longer than the stockers for me.

Al shaft works better on MTX3 then the rest which use cross pin to keep the pulley in place. The grup screw type pulley actually add strength to the shaft. the cross pin type pulley will weaken the shaft. I broke a Square Ti mid shaft at the cross pin area with my V1RR

A poorly maintained, rough, or locked mid-block bearing can also destroy an aluminum.

Sami,
The first item on your list is a solid rear adaptor. Simply remove the gears in your rear diff, insert this blob, screw it together and whazaam. A solid rear

What is the advantages of a solid rear diff, as opposed to one a gear diff?
