That is why man invented covers.

ALL of the belts have covers on them. That's my second favorite design aspect- next to the belt drive itself. The 4WS would be third.

Speaking of which the 4WS could easily be disabled by locking the rear bellcrank in place.

I've already decided I'm going to buy one of these. I've already started saving the $1000+ I'll need for the kit.

Well the entire point of a cover is to keep things out. So if they didn't work then they were pointless!

I can see now where your disdain for belt driven RC's comes from. Personally, I like the silence. No more "rattling dogbones" with slotted BL motors.....
