I'm not startin crap...I'm stating the facts man....you seemed to have enough with my opinions

I'm not telling him to get a shaft car...just stating the obvious and pointing out a shaft drivetrain is more efficienct than a belt

And for the record....Stuff I do to belt cars:
Chop every other tooth of the belt (frees the drivetrain up)
Run the belt loose
Remove any kinks you can from the drivetrain (ie: Losi has the black belt kit, if the Mi1 has a new belt kit, get it)
Run your diffs a bit tight....better acceleration
If your driving style permits (hell knows mine doesn't) run a spool or a one-way for better rip off the line
Run the stiffest/hardest setup you possibly can without sacrificing handling
Gear accordingly & Properly....if you have to use a smaller pulley in the front GO FOR IT!

And you know I can't get to Hobbytown.... So stop talking about it.

And if you look @ my posts....What rant? Gee, I thought I actually looked somewhat polite in my posts
