The A700 driveline is more efficient which is irrelevant for mod but in low power classess especially when running blinky is relevant. In my experience shaft drive with spec blinky classes motors run cooler which allows you to push the motor harder which results in a speed/lap time advantage.
The car also seems to pull more from the front on initial acceleration rather than a belt drive car which seems to (possibly due to belt stretch) drive more from the rear.
But the crown jewl of the car is the suspension ie the upper A arms and lower CG which great in high grip conditions.
Some racers seem to struggle with the suspension and prefer crappy caster blocks and traditional shocks.
