XRAY - Model racing cars

I second this idea.

Dust protection and more reserves in suspension are allways welcome

Yes, that is exactly what I am talking about. All leading shaft drive cars have differing methods to correct torque steer. The main problem is however that the adjustment needs to be in line with two things:

1. The amount of torque the motor generates
2. The radius of the turn the car is going through

Since neither of these are "fixed" values the best you can do in car design is to come up with a compromise. "Older" shaft drive cars are optimised for the batteries and motors available at the time the car was released and therefore are running into more and more trouble with the continuing improvements in battery, speedo and motor technologies. Add to that the fact that tyre technology is not keeping pace with the improvements in electronics and it should be apparant why all leading manufacturors nowadays are focussing mostly on belt driven designs.

Having said that, I agree with you that there are certainly other design avenues that could be pursued for shaft driven designs. I am sure we will see shaft driven designs in the future and possibly someone will come up with a design that can challenge the best that belt drives can offer at that time. At the moment the belt designs are quite simply better in my opinion.

As You can see here, T2 could be a RALLY CAR:

T2 works fine, no problems, water and dust resistant...

Nice pics! Thanks for the links.
