BELTS vs SHAFTS

what are the pros and cons on belts and shafts?

and

which one would be better suited to drifting, touring, etc, etc

thanks

Sup you into drifting. Check my sig out and join. All about RC drifting.

Ones a belt ones a shaft. Shaft driven is usually a little stronger, however there are more parts to it, and its a little more expensive.

Either is fine for drifting.

i have shaft driven, i hate shaft driven, gears always seem to wear down for me.......

thanks for the advice peoples



Howielong:
awsome site and stacks of info, thanks man



how good would a HPI SPRINT be for a beginners drift car
any info would be nice

Your welcome dude. I see you signed up. The sprint is the lowest rc i think hpi makes. Im looking for a RTR car right now. So i think you should looking into a nice RTR car that you can upgrade sometime in the future.

HPI Sprint is an excellent RTR.

Sorry about what i lastly said. I ment the dash. That is the cheapest kit they have. The sprint is a great car.

dash is a cheap rwd car, but rwd drifting is more fun, but sprint is perfect for drifting, lots of aftermarket parts and drifts really well

hey u guys are nitro cars right?

im shaft and i think its heaps more better than belt

to me i think it has better respones ma friend has a belt drive car it pretty good

costs more for belt cars i think ma friend pays 15 bucks for a set of belts

plus if ur belts n gear gets stuffed u end u payin quite alot of $$

i got shaft its very strong my gear cost 10 bucks plus the shaft joints to the gear box is inly $3

i dont think they make shaft driven gas rc's, and talk better if you post its easier to understand
