Exactly Scotty (had tongue firmly in cheek earlier).
These Tamiya 4WD are fantastic cars. Drive superbly and in better hands than mine can beat anything.
Shaft drive vs belt drive is just "horses for courses".
One track suits belts, another track suits shaft.
In the same way, some tracks suit driver A, other tracks suit driver B.
That's why we love it - there's always a chance that "this is your day".
I think 2011 is going to be even more competitive amongst the cars AND the drivers, as they get more experience with their cars, and the latest minor tweaks to improve them.
Scotland's Outdoor Season starts Sunday and Scotty and I will be taking it to the rest of them. Wish us luck.
Bud, save me a spot to pit alongside you.
