Thats why 2WD midmotor cars use two idealer gears and not one like the rear motor configuration. So they are much more like belt cars.
Now with brushless motors the influence is much less than it was with brushed but the shaft car still has the pros it always had: more traction, bit less steering on power but smoother steering when acceleration hard.

but all the top tc are still belt,driven ,if shaft was the way they would do it too. belts to me give a smoother car
i thought the 4 gear was to get the motor direction correct to turn the wheels forwards, as the 3 geared cars you had to reverse the motors?
