Don't get me wrong,the x-10 is awesome,no doubt from anyone about that.I nearly bought one.

I was saying the x-10 has the aerodynamic advantage,that's why i mentioned the inboard suspension,that is the reason for this design.

Actually,in 1/10 racing,transverse/belt layouts traditionally have the handling advantage with more powerful motors.That's why in touring car racing, by and large, shafts are used in stock (where the drivetrain efficiency is more of an advantage than the handling benefits of the belt drive layout) and belts are used in modified.

With a longditudinal motor(shaft drive) the motor exerts a rotational force on the chassis,giving inconsistent handling from left to right(undesireable).With a transverse motor (belt drive)this force can be used to create an anti-squat effect under accelleration and an anti dive effect under braking(desireable).
This is the reason both designs exist,they both have different advantages.
