tama iron cobra 900 pwn with acd's driveshaft and footblaster trigger
the pedal that I own ans started with.
I changed the bearing and dirve shaft, which I consider a really weak point on this pedal. I changed it once for a stock, that cost as much as a trick one, he lasted 1 year and a half, then I order the acd's. I also changed the springs to heavier ones, so that I can lower the tension at the start of the motion, but get an extra power at the end. the pedal come with an excentric came ,you can find a linear one for this exact pedal, the one that you will find on the speed cobra, not a huge fan. the settings I have is a beate angle around 45°, and the chain on the came that realease the beater faster at the end of the movement, so that all the sensation of resistance of the footboard is at the end of the movement.
I have only few months used 310 Speed Cobra double pedal. I upgraded the pedals with Speedo Rings and Accubeaters. I noticed that the pedal chain was not running straight as the cam was installed in incorrect position. I had to move the beater holder (had to heat it up first, since they add locktite or similar locking liquid in the bolt threads). And also noticed that the drive shaft joints are already starting to be a bit loose . I had the Iron Cobra Dual Chain Drive pedals 10y ago, and have to say, that the quality was better IMO.
I think the next shaft will be ACD, since no one wants to buy these +100€ parts every year.

I installed the Drive shaft few days ago and I can guaranty you that it is a game breaker. Manufacturer's one is way far from the quality proposed by ACD. I've installed the Direct Drive few weeks ago ( around Christmas) and it was a nice buy for shure.
Keep wayting for a longboard convertion, but it does not seems to be planned for the moment :)
We noticed all these issues at tama 900 en 600 twin pedal Alignment and to much space in these pedals.but d af los cheap “low speed” bearings
Loc-tite won’t fix these issues . So now we want to buy a real decent pedal An Acd ! The ACD-upgrades on the tama 600 work very well. So an important reason to buy a Acd for us. We have a light and fast playing tw 600, but to expensive after all.
Darwin ftw right double pedal black, set up as strapdrive.

Sorry, what does that mean?

I can confirm issues for the 600. My driveshaft became rusty after 2.5 years (practicing in a dry basement room).
I had to replace it, so the choice was a) buying a better driveshaft and still having a shortboard pedal with a lot of play in the bearings b) buying a demon drive, just to maybe find out it's limits one day and wondering all the time what a top notch pedal would be like c) saving the money for half solutions, buying a pedal that is way to good for my level at playing but being satisfied for all times.
