Default Anyone try a cheap throttle controller

I was looking around and ran into this D1 spec throttle controller and wondering if anyone has tried them out... 120 bucks is pretty cheap if it works well.

Should work fine. The blitz isn't rocket science. It can easily be made for 1/10 the cost.

The only real "advantage" or selling point of Blitz is the PnP capability. If the one listed also has that option then I don't see why not! maybe you can try it out and let us know, please

So does this affect the response difference that sport mode enables? The main reason I use sport mode is because in normal driving the throttle response sucks!

the only thing this does is allows you to set how sensitive your gas pedal is. I.e. Flooring it would the same as using this kit and pressing the gas pedal to ~ half throttle

Didnt the old Venom 400 module do the same thing sort of?

I would say a mod like this might be good if your trying not to break traction off a launch, no?

Are you sure about that? I was under the distinct impression that this item quickened the throttle response, not just simply exaggerated the throttle input.

This device is just a multiplier, it multiplies the input signal and as result you'll "feel" a quicker throttle response. Smash the gas pedal at once and you'll have the same result. There is no power added from this device.
