Just wondering out of interest which people prefer and why.
When I used to race many moons ago I used to have to regularly replace belts on my Cat 2000, but I was only 14 at the time so I may have setup the car wrong.

Shafts are easier to clean if the belt cars dont have gear box covers but if the belts do then they are a better buy as the balance is more manageable with a belt as the chassis is easier to work with. The tamiya belt drive you can buy gearbox covers and is a stunning drive so if i were choosing between the b44 and 511 then id go tamiya.
