Shaft vs Belts

Shaft vs Belts
Belt: Smooth power, efficient drivetrain, durable, more balanced chassis layout.
Shaft: Easier to maintain, less wear, cleaner chassis, less rotating mass.
Belt: More wear, more rotating mass, messy layout, easily contaminated.
Shaft: Gears can strip, torque steer, unbalanced placement of heavy components.

Having raced both shaft (FT NTC3) and belt (V1 RRR) I certainly prefer the belt over the shaft....the belt drive has been much more durable in terms of drivetrain components

Now I don't feel so bad about my belt-driven RS-4 2 =-P

It is possible to see the performances, this type of CONICAL
5 fins manifold - short type (best solution on long straights)
6 fins manifold - medium type (suggested to have more push exiting curves and on the straight)
7 fins manifold - long type (more power exiting curves)

Noob question...What is a fin? and what do they do?
