So far it's like night and day. I was going through 1 metal spur per month...been using the same plastic spur for 2 months with very little signs of wear.

Although, I just had to switch back to the metal spur with the mechanical brake setup. The diff brace that holds the brake cams only comes with a narrow spur opening, so I can't get the wider plastic spur to fit without pretty heavy modifications. Hopefully, the traktion drive will alleviate the initial load on the spur and make it last longer than it did in the past. I will let you guys know how it goes.
