First your saying that shafts can be good for racing, and then the next post you make you say they aren't (or that belts are better because you can adjust gear ratio's further).
Maybe I misunderstood.

Maybe I misunderstood.
The potential of shaft is not there for gearing purposes that is why more companies does not adopt to this setup.

ok ![Smile](https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I just say that belts are bad for parking lot from the area around me, there is alot of gravel, my RS4 2 wouldn't last more than a few minutes without getting jammed. Maybe my streets are more "gravelly" than most

Define "out do"
you are talking about the 2-speed, so I assume you mean top speed. Why is everyone so obsessed with top speed. I mean, sure, its cool, but its not useful, really.
Anyway, I have never seen any reliable source indicate how fast an RTR NTC3 would be with a 2-speed in it, but I have seen reports of a stock SS doing 46mph. I would be surprised if an RTR NTC3 with a 2-speed would do much more than that.
This question is getting beaten to death. Just go look at the cars and see which one you like better.

I would buy the NTC3, but its going to cost more to buy a NTC3 Team kit and an engine.

i just fly heli's so take this for what it's worth:
my heli runs with a 0S 32sxh engine. it has both a shaft drive(main rotor) and a belt drive(tail rotor). they both can be set up to give you SCREAMING speed and torque. the rc car manufacturers use belt drives mainly for two reasons(both of these reasons are cost effective for the manufacturer).
1. belt systems are much easier to engineer
2. belt systems are much easier to manufacture.
just thought i'd jump into a different forum for a change

pick one?
one of those cars isnt even close to the price of the others.
that has no bearing on your choice?
i vote for the tc3 cause thats what i can afford and thats what im going to get
