[yokoracer]

hi guys do you think if one had a belt drive sp do you think it is possible to change components, use the same chassie and switch to shaft do you think it is cost werty?????????? its just an idea

Jean.

It would make an interesting exercise, though I'm not so sure about cost effectiveness.

I ran belt drive MR4s for 3 years, running the Special last season with good results. This year I have been running an SD.

My honest opinion. The "old" Belt drive car handled better. The shaft drive car is more efficient, and wins out slightly on lap times.

But I still love my belt drive Special. it was just so easy to drive.

i agree with you joe but i am starting to bet a bit agitated with tc3's doing early19's and me only managing to do 20's with extreme gearing good handling now its eighter the car or me !!!!!!
this morning i will be training every day in the mornings with the gearing i am using i cant even afford to use racing brushes, with the stock brushed the motor is not so bad see you joe and thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I don't think it is possible to change the yokomo MR4 TC belt drive to a shaft drive (I am pretty sure) lots of diferent components between the two cars. Surely not cost effective.

However I would recommend the SD very much, great car. I have quite some different types of cars but the yokomo run's best ! Try the novak brushless, just great with the Yokomo shaft drive !

Cheers,

Mark

hi mark when i said components i meant changing gearboxes and wish bones and keeping the same chassis about brushless motor in our competitions it is not allowed

see you jean
