I am sure not all Race tracks worldwide are High grip surfaces. Mine is dirt and medium grip or loose depends on the weather and i never felt that torque steer you guys are talking about but i believe that on carpet it can be much more noticeable.
In the end i think we all have to buy the car that is the quickest for the individual driver. I personally am not good enough to notice that i would be much slower on my own track with a belt or shaft driven car because i simply make too many mistakes.
I think both the 502X and 511 are superb cars. I find it relaxing to just be able to buy both technologies from the best quality manufacturer i know and have the safety not to have done anything wrong
