MecaTrac is what everyone is calling Octocannum here on ChiefDelphi. We termed it MecaTrac when developing it for our use and it stuck.

Last year the only pain we had was if we had to take it apart and put it back together. This year we can have a module out and a new one back in under 5 minutes. Although last year we only had to replace a module before ship due to a gearbox being put together incorrectly after a gear swap, so we are very happy with the reliability and what it offers of this drivetrain.

We also look forward to seeing 342 at Palmetto, we showed ours so where is yours?
