I'm noob also...this is my 1st car. So cannot compared between axle and belt. Just some info from the net said that axle is more durable but belt easier to mod and less torque steer (car going left/right when full throttle from standstill). But IMO, its depend on the driver, some prefer axle, some belt.

Mod the ratio is by changing the pulley to different sizes to achieve different power distribution (normal is 50-50) so that the rear get more power than front, which is harder to control but makes it more fun and realistic.

Depends on what u mean by won la

nitro needs more tuning..hehe..but can chase la.. my buggy 2wd, the nitro all 4wd..i working harder to chase, since the surface very lose..cannot power on while taking corners..hehe.. but at straights, can keep up with the nitros...

my brushless is ~12t, with a 35a ESC.

woi woi..buggy thread not this way, wrong turn la ni.

1 quick question, rc drift car 4wd or rear wheel drive only?

This is called recruiting

4wd. But can use 2wd also if pro enough.

i see. thought all drift car use RWD only just like real car.

Its hard to imitate real car. Although the size is scaled down, the weight is not.

cs ratio set tuned as rwd lo

Just take out the front pulley/belt. Waiting for my new conversion cf chasis and pulley sets. Want to try cs.
