Was it really a scam though or did you just get unlucky with a dud? Most cheap controllers work fine if you know what you're getting into, and $40 for 6 fan control isn't terrible if it's actually the software that's the problem. Did you try it on a different PC or just immediately toss it?

Read a chef friend say the Anova holds up way better for daily use.

Rode up in the U.P. last winter with the same problem on my old Mudders. Ended up pulling half the center studs out and spacing them all around the outer lugs instead... night and day difference on the ice. Could actually lean into the corners without sliding out. Still kept a few in the middle for braking, but spread em out wide.

Did you at least try to get your money back from that guy? That's a bummer, sorry you got stuck with a halfassed job like that.

Hate it when that happens man. Nothing worse than watching water pour out because of a cheap clamp. Feels like the car just knows when you're in a hurry.
