All other makes run shaft drive. I have 502X and love it. At the time I had the opportunity to either buy it or the 511X. I choose 502X for easier maintenance as I run on dirt tracks. Sealed diffs are much better. for lower maintenance.

However, at the level Lee Martin is running at, if he prefers belt drive, then so be it! All the reasons I have a 502X are not relevant at that level
