Diana, I have had one about a month. It uses the mercury switches and has too many safetys for my taste. If you have the tilt in space it won't do it with the wheels turning. The other drawback is the slow braking. When I let off the joystick I want to hear a click. even turned to turtle it seems to have a lot more power than it should. It has stable tracking for a six wheeler and can handle modest off road. Be sure the guy with the computer programming tool gets you adjusted before he leaves is my #1 recommendation. If you don't fly, ask them to only put in maintenance free 24group deep cycle batteries. You don't need to pay double for gell cell batteries with half the power and life. If you aren't aware of your legs in space, get the leg guards and full size footplates. They are much easier to fix than your legs are and the chair can be incredibly powerfull. It isn't bad for a bottomline chair. My old TDX got to where it burns out potentiometers easiy, or constantly. Remember, this chair has to last seven years. It will need you to take really good care to milk that much from it. Good luck, john John & Greg, I appreciate the feedback that I'll keep for questions. Like all the safetys. It will be my 1st mid-wheel chair. I'm not getting the tilt feature. He was showing it to me outside, a para himself. His was programmed to do 9mph, a feature no longer available. He was showing me how easy it goes over curbs in the neighborhood where mine will get stuck & spin the rear wheels. Mine is a 96 action series. Have you had any trouble with the little wheels in the back hanging up? I was planning on getting the double feet rest as compared to the sq plate. Thanks again, Dianna
