shaft driven cars seem to be somewhat more durable when compared to belted cars, but it seems like belt driven cars have more acceleration (punch) as there is less rotational momentum(less rotating parts)
hey man my local hobby shop either has one or can order one in for u.
its in brisbane hobby station www.hobbystation.com.au but they dont
have a shop online so u will have to email them or ring them. email leo
or ring and ask for leo. cheers

also belt drive is a lot smoother especially when going on/off throttle, whereas shaft drive cars always have a bit of slop/backlash in the drivecups which is a bit more jerky when on/off throttle.
shaft drive is more expensive to replace but lasts a long time but gets more slop + backlash as it ages whereas belts are cheap and dont last as long (6mth average) and youneed to make sure they have the correct tension for a long and healthy life..
sometimes (like with my 4tec pro) you can go to a timing belt place like stock drive products</A></A>and get a slightly thicker belt which lasts even longer. (stock 4tec belt is 4mm wide, all mine are 6mm)Edited by: Oblivion
