As already mentioned here, testing is most important.
A 4WD car with a dual shaft motor can be easily converted for testing to 2WD by removing the front pinion. Then lap times can be compared.
The same can be done with a belt drive car by removing the belt, or even experiment with different belt lenghts and diameters.
About that theme I wrote an article in the October 2007 issue of the NSCC Journal page 15 till 18 for Scalextric belt drive front motor cars:

Maybe the upcoming September issue of Slot Car Magazine will be useful:
It will contain an article about the testing of the whole SRC rally tyre range with all different sizes, materials and compounds.
