Hi Bud,
Its probably best to post this in the onroad section.
The SST would be ok to run in 17.5t. Although if you were going to spend £35 ish on parts to get it able to race it might be best to look for a cheap second hand TC on the sale forum.
You wont get a lot for the SST if it needs money spent on it (say £20) but that would give you a budget of £50. Check on ebay as there are usually a lot of TC's for cheap. TC4's are shaft driven and they go cheap.. I personally prefer belt cars although for 17.5t a shaft should benefit from no slip.
Race level TC's will have a ball diff, the newer ones also have oil diffs, they never really had unsealed bevel diffs as they are not tunable.
** Quick edit** It looks like you can get new belts for less than £20, more like 12 for both.. thats pretty cheap, if you wanted to just race the SST.
