A-Trac

With all of this rain, ID LOVE TO GET RID OF THE A-TRAC!!! I have been reading up and I guess i have to cut the wire. Is there another way to do this without messing up the wiring harness?

VSC and TRAC are 2 different systems. Both use the brakes and throttle for control.
VSC is activated when a lateral skid is detected. Trac is activated when the drive wheels spin.

I think the best way to decide is go somewhere safe and unplug the control to try it out. I've done it and it's fun. I have needed to barrel through an obstacle and lost my momentum due to the computer when a switch would have made it easier. Likewise, I've most likely been saved from my own testosterone levels on a few occasions when I would have drifted a little harder into (or off of) the corners...
