As a matter of fact, yes, I believe they have.

BEFORE the WCD was developed (2002-2004 timeframe), of course, but seeing as 254 is one of the developers of the WCD...

The WCD was officially unleashed in late 2003/2004 season, the result of a collaboration between 254 and 60. There are photos in CD-Media from 2001 showing both teams running elements of what is now known as a WCD, though 254 for some reason ran their chains outside their frame from a central gearbox that year (either one of which would, under the traditional definition, disqualify the drive as being WCD), and neither had more than 4 wheels on the ground (also disqualifying as a WCD under the traditional definition, which requires 6 (or more, depending just how traditional you want to get)).

So, more detailed answer: yes, but it's been quite a while and they were developing WCD when they did.


And now back to your regularly-scheduled discussion of the pros and cons of the WCD.
