The Yokomo belt car is currently undergoing final testing in Japan and official information and pictures will be released next Monday, February 28th.
The prototype has been tested by Yokomo in Japan for some time and it appears that testing has now proceeded far enough to decide the final specs of the car. No firm release date is yet known but will be announced next Monday.
The new belt drive TC will not replace the SD series of shaft drive cars, instead both cars will be developed and supported simultaneously. Even though the SD series has been quite successful in Japan, Yokomo have decided to go ahead and design a belt drive car as well since there is a market for both types of cars. Some drivers simply prefer the belt drive cars while other prefer the shaft drive cars and Yokomo want to offer a car for each kind.

Not much information about the belt drive car has leaked out from Yokomo yet but it is believed it will use the same suspension as the SD series of cars. The car will also be of a similar high spec as the SDW cars, i.e. very well equipped with a lot of option parts included.

i dont why yokomo is making a belt car , when the shaft proved itself in the Worlds, and dominating the jmrca nationals. i think they are taking advantage of the demand to make more revenue. yokomo is not alone in this idea, i think hpi is doing the same thing

Actually Yokomo had that belt layout long before the 415... know your history dude.. 
The MR4 series came out around '98....
I'm glad Yokomo is offering a belt design once again.
