If you are talking about friction points, yes TC3 is the champion. but no competition so far for the less frction points !!
we are looking at actual performance.
The point I am trying to get across is that with the same amount of power, the NTC3 will always be putting more of it out at the wheels. Say each friction point is 2%,
Then 3-belt=
.98 * .98 * .98 * .98 * .98 *.98 *.98 = .868
Shaft 4WD=
.98 *.98 *.98 = .941
That's a 7.3% power edge; that's the difference between 1.25 HP and 1.35 HP
That's not to say an MTX can't be competitive, set fast laps, win races etc. There's no doubt though that unless the laws of physics are different where you live that the NTC3 would always be the fastest in a straight line.
