-They say Shaft Drive is now only good for Drifting.

I only like Shaft Drive Cars/Kits and I`ll use nothing else.

I have a Pro 4-Hara and I`ve ran a TC 4 and I must say those are the best Shaft Drive Kits ever Made. The Evo 5 can`t hang with them.

The Evo 5 has alot of Torque Steer and it takes alot to find a good set-up.
-The Pro 4 is a easy kit to set-up.
- - - - -I`m somewhat glad I live in a place where R.C. isn`t big(New York City); because I`ll be really worried tring to Race My Evo 5.....Ha Ha!

Take Care

Not sure what he is talking about. My EVO IV & V both run extremely well with minimal setup. I did have a Pro4 prior to this and thought that was a good car, too. However, both EVO's seemed to be more stable.
