Not sure if they all have trc on/off, i would assume they would.
Just a little switch next to fog light that says trc on/off :lol:

Off is alot better, all roads are icy up here and ive found a few deserted roads that my car likes drifting along :eye:

My rev3 gt turbo does not have TRC.

My previous rev3 gt turbo did have TRC although I never needed it in anger. Never had it come on when I tried to provoke it.

Friend has a rev3 gt turbo with TRC and gets the dash TRC activation light to come on from time to time.

Must be the way I drive :wink: :lol:

Tbh i dont need it but there have been a couple of moments where its been black ice unseen obviously and its kicked out and the trc has managed to stop it kicking out, that being said im capable of getting it back in line :eye:
If its a deserted road and im doing say 10mph on ice then thats where i get to learn a bit more :lol:
