yeah I would like to do a side by side comparison between my db-01 and my other 4wd shafties. Have both on the same gearing, same weight, nail the throttle with a transmitter controlling both cars. Even though you say the rotating parts of the db-01 is lighter than the b44, I still think they b44 will outdrag it the first few metres.
but I think with the shaft v's belt, its not as important in off road, as there is limited traction available.
