On my ongoing quest for the right buggy, I see some buggies have a Shaft Drive driveline (Roketa) and others have Chain Drive (Titan - well dual chain drive) - which is better ? Mind you I will be just driving on the street (nothing off road really) when I buy a mini buggy.

the shaft drive rides better and on some buggy's has more wheel travel. most shaft drive buggy's dont turn very well if you need to make a sharp turn.

the solid axle buggy's slide better ( drift ) and have a harder ride off road. the solid axle buggy is easier to repair
