The tracks have no issues whatsoever as far as turning on carpet. That is because the idler(the middle *wheel* is set down aproximately 5/8" to help in turning so that only half of the track is touching the ground at once, thus reducing lateral friction on the tracks and also reducing wear on the carpets, tracks, transmissions, motors, batteries, etc. The 4 speed auto is now fully functional! Its awesome, I would like to extend the congratulations to Stephen and Josh for building/designing the trannies and Dave and Tom for writing the code in which to acheive the correct shift points. Awesome job guys!
