Difference bwtween 511 and 502?

[Ray Kindstrom]

Whats the difference between the 511 and the 502? (please dont state the obvious...belt and shaft) I read that Tamiya didnt replace the 511 with the 502, they just added the 502. Is one meant for tight tracks or loose tracks. I mainly run on med. to high bite indoor clay track. Prob wont see much outdoor use.

Thanks in advance for the insight lads.

Its shaft drive...

That and the steering assembly. The suspension is 99% the same. The only difference you'll feel on track is slightly more abrubt acceleration due to the shaft drive, otherwise it should be the same.
