LOL RtypeC, thanks for letting us know that, if you had pants that fitted you prolly wouldn't have that problem.
So is it safe to say, neither system has a better advantage over the other, sure there has to be a differance but to me it's so minute.
In regards to a post above, I agree weight placement has a huge affect on cars and we could be comparing apples to oranges since say Xrays weight placement is very even all around on the chassis where on the shaft driven cars there's uneven weight on the chassis unless you add weight but it's not near perfect as the saddle-pack, transverse mounted motor cars.
Sorry everyone, I was referring "belts" as xray(not xxxs) and "shafts" as all the yokomo/tc3/evo3. Reason for this is I see these Xrays and they ARE fast.
Maybe I should be asking, which do you think out of the two has less resistance, more effecient drivetrain? "On-power" that is.
