Early kits had A LOT of issues with the belts. I don't know how much or if it has even improved. My Rotrex kit on my NA started life as a Kraftwerks. The only thing left is the bracket and oil cooler they provided with the Rotrex. The Rotrex units themselves are fantastic if you set them up correctly and keep the traction fluid from overheating. If I had to guess, they are still trash.

TDR is working on a Rotrex kit, but apparently they can't find a reliable tuner to work with so the kit is delayed at the moment.

Does Joe@Dynotronic's not want to help them? He is in Texas and tunes NC's.

Oh, really? I had no idea they were working on one. I am also confused as to why they don't use Dynotronics, because he is only a few hours away from them.

No idea. Just relaying the email response I received when I asked them about progress on their kit.
