Some of the FPV's dont get it due to there brembo brakes I just learnt.

I.B.

Pretty sure none of them got it, was too expensive to recal DSC for brembos and 19s.

On topic of TC, how do ute owners find theirs?

Mine seems to let me get away with alot (too much :nod:) before it steps in.

I leave my T/C on, has saved my a$$ a few times

Switch it off when u want to play

Same here.... It comes handy sometimes.

Once I drove over a patch of sand on a private road (really was a private road), it was on a bend with WOT, in about a 2/7 of a second the car started going sideways and TC came to the rescue.

Now if it was turned off by the time I would realize what happened I believe it would be too late to avoid running of the road.

So since then I leave it on unless I WANT to play or race, in a manual it interrupts on the 1-2 and 2-3 change and in first gear.

the tc shouldn't kick in at all if you have pushed the button in to disable it..

heres another vote for turning it off when I get in. it broke one of my cv's when I snapped 2nd, lesson learnt.

You dont need to have big mods for there to be issues with the TC. A mild custom tune with an auto will have it activating at the most inconvenient times.

I just hate having my car jump around like drunk Wallaby when I give it even a small boot up the ass with the TC on. Doesnt feel very safe to me. :bowdown:

HERE HERE first thing I do when starting the XR is turn T/C off..

Feels much safer when its off as the car is predictable not like a drunken wallaby..
