Default mk2 escort rally conversion

ok i have had a bit of a mess about with my yokomo mr4 tc which was my drift car. ( most fun you can have with tarmac and tcs)
but i am an off road kinda guy so made this to run round my local outdoor track for a laugh. it is a mr4 belt drive tc with hpi rally car shocks and a cen front shock tower. wheels are mk2 escort replicas and tryes are schuy mini spikes.
running a multiplex esc and a proper reedy 12 turn double wound brushed motor. which is like brushless power bur probly more torque (less reliabillity i no but its just a mess about car)
hoping the belt drive will help cushion the drive train off road. what do yall think and do ya have any tips on setting up rally converted tcs. cheers
