    Is there a 120v equivalent or do I need to run 220 plug? Im ready to pull the trigger and order from my Chinese friends but would lean towards the 120v if possible. thanks crew

    Had to order extrusions from www.kinetikmsystem.de as they are a custom type and I didnt feel like modifying the design. They cost me 260$ USD, or 220,47 Euro.

    Shipping was 93$!...

    Thanks man, got busy with moving and life. Adding traction loss to my old rig and getting this new system up has consumed me. Im torn between get the new one going or just getting traction loss added on the old rig...will be nice to have two setups though for local racing

    Why not building the tractionloss on top of the SFX100? The servo's are powerfull enough to handle the load ;)
