Obviously speaking from a biased point of view with limited driving skills.
But now running the K1, after running the Tamiya 511 and Durango 4wd cars, I can't believe how much quicker I am going. I know there were a lot of drivers missing from Worksop UK indoor masters, but I've rarely been near a B final before, and to get 4th in the B on Sunday was my best result ever.
As a relative measure, I was catching and overtaking drivers I had previously only either let lap me, or watched from a marshall point.
The car was very easy to drive, with great corner rotation I could balance on throttle.
And a note on belt drive, I consider this atleast as reliable as shaft. Having run the 511 for 3 years with zero belt / pulley issues, and so far so good on the K1, it's very difficult to understand why anyone would consider belt drive to be outdated technology. Sureley a belt drive with great durability and diff enclosure, is a benefit over Shaft ... but please, let's not start belt v shaft again.
