[quote] "Just some additional thoughts. I've posted the similar inquiry on the H2ml and one person responded in reminding me that the traction control needs two things: 1) you must not be "on" the brakes at all (this foils the computers ability to sensor stuff) and 2) the rpm's/gas must be kept fairly level for a bit of time also for the computer to sense stuff."


Thanks for posting that Steve. That answers alot of questions. I was wondering why factory rep would recomend that you not use Brake/Throttle Modulation,BTM. True you do place more stress on drivetrain using BTM, but if done properly, not enough to hurt anything. Now I feel that their main concern is that the Trac Control is ineffective if you are on the brakes. I am in total agreement with you and Mike in that I will continue use BTM instead of bashing over the rock piles traction control or not.

I can attest that the Trac Control does work at speed. We found a fresh graded gravel road with nice sweeping "S" curves last weekend and decided to play alittle. You could hit the curves hard enough for the rig to break traction and start drifting sideways, let it slide to the apex of the curve and "Gently" apply a little more throttle and feel the Trac Control take over and "Pull" you back out of the corner ready to set up for the next curve. It was totaly awesome and far superior to just regular 4WD. The most fun I've had since I quit racing.

When the front locker becomes available I am definitely going to have one for crawling through the rough stuff using BTM and with H2s Trac Control for faster times we will have the Best of Both Worlds.
