Im curious, since I already have one, but when I spoke to Dave W about it, he said it was a long way off if they were going to include it at all........

when i got my ECU a few months ago they told me it was nearly ready, and i'd have to wait a few months.

the ECU itself has the port for the TC on it, and the software has some TC related stuff in there, just greyed out.

i'd speak to Dave W tho, dont trust my info! lol

As I suspected, I was told about the New ecu's (K2 & K3) last year, and all about the new software as well. Dave told me it would be a couple of months.........

Still no news on it..........

There is traction control and there is traction control.

Not all systems use the same methods. Some require wheel speed sensors some don't.

I haven't compared the efectiveness/ease of use of each but I would see if you can find someone who has before i made my choice on ECU.

Yes I noticed reading the info about the Omex 600 ecu that it uses one sensor only.....and somehow does not measure the differences from each wheel speed to activate it, so im guessing it uses a rpm v's wheel speed calculation or similar to determine if the wheels are accelerating at a different rate to the engine.

I used to have Racelogic TC on mine and it was very impressive, just wondered if i could go an Ecu route with equal performance. ive still my got 4 wheel speed sensors fitted............
