has anyone tried the traktion drive yet? i see it at amain hobbies and it say the light weight springs are not in the kit....can the light weight springs be purchased still? and is it worth getting my track is a little slippery so i think i would benefit from it.
suck what happened to that ackerman no meat around the screw hole.
also anyone know the stock springs tension number i know they are yellow but according to amain hobbies they are not listed by color just tension.
thanks for any help

Which spring you choose to run will depend greatly on your driving preferences and track type/conditions. Please refer to page 4 of this instruction sheet for recommendations on the Traktion Drive.

Is it safe to run the traktion drive along with the delrin spur? I installed mines but didnt get to run it yet. I usually run it in my mp9 v4 with steel spur so not used to having to run a delrin gear on it.

+1. We've seen a couple of these and they both had the servo saver cranked down. We might change the setting in the manual to be a little lighter. We also might change the spring spec.

The servo saver setting is already pretty weak. When I get it cranked down to the manual specification, there isn't much vertical travel left for it to work with. Almost seems like it needs a longer, stiffer spring. Looks like the steering rack needs a little bit of meat around the screw head.

I guess I don't fully understand the difference between traction drive and electri clutch. Is it just the difference between how the springs are installed? One pushes, the other pulls, like a traditional clutch bell? I bought my traction drive kit months ago, how recently were the springs omitted?

Also rest assured that if there is a major problem, we'll be on top of it. We really like that you are driving the buggy too.

I got tangled up with with someone a couple weeks ago and bent the ackerman bar on my EB48 right at the same spot. I was able to bend it back and haven't had any more trouble with it. I do think it would be a good idea to beef up the area around the screw on the next batch.
