At the risk of starting ANOTHER shaft vs belt argument I just have to respond to this post.
1. Losi's single belt transmission is poorly designed. There are much better ways to do it, yet they chose what we see on the XXXS. Any decent 2-belt drivetrain will actually be more efficient than this so Losi were correct to change.
2. Belt drive transmissions become more efficient as speed increases, whereas shaft drives are the opposite. So on any decent size track with a mod motor, the JRX-S will be operating at it's maximum efficiency - the shafties will not be
It might be a little different in Stock, but remember the JRX-S has other features which will offset that!
