3) Awesomatix - A800FX
4) VBC - FF17, FF18
5) MTS - FF (V2, V3)
6) 3Racing - FF (2014, 2015, EVO)
7) Destiny - RX10FF
8) Xpress - Execute FT1
9) Top Racing - Sabre FD2
10) ARC - R11F
11) Fast Forward - FF7.2F - a converted AE TC7.2 to FWD (not sure if this is valid)
12) MST - TCR (not sure if this is valid too).
Been thinking of picking up a FWD chassis, and looking through this list have noticed that most are belt drive with a few being gear driven. I come from racing off-road 2wd buggies where there has been a debate from time to time over the merits of 3 gear, 4 gear, belt drive and now 5 gear transmissions. Just curious if there is much difference between belt and gear driven, and how it may affect the handling of a FWD touring car.
