There is no reason why they shouldn't try to make a better car. And why not try shaft. They have their spring steel which I think would look pretty bad as$ as a center or offset shafts.
If the shaft drive concept were actually superior in ANY WAY to a properly designed belt drive system then the Juraj at X-Ray might look into it. But since shaft drive hasn't actually displayed the superiority all the TC3 drivers claim it has, it wouldn't be logical to produce the car.
X-Ray is all about raising the bar on quality, craftsmanship and performance. Why does the world need another TC3 clone (aside from the obvious need for higher quality craftmanship and materials)? HPI already did it right with the Pro 4.
