    So since using this throttle limiter you basically have no lag right? This will be fun to try out when I get mine.

    I figured as much but I get the impression not everyone does.

    Calling "oh, the 3A92 is a weak 3 cylinder" is doing it a disservice.

    With 200cc and 23 hp less the G10 is a responsive and dare I say torquey engine for it's size. The 3A92 blows it away at every point but certainly doesn't feel like it. Also note both cars have crazy similar RPM/distance in every gear.

    Yes I may be wound up in this discussion, but the chance lose my buyers remorse is exciting.

    I was wrong. It's crazy how much it changes the pedal. It's worth the money. There's a normal, a high performance, and Eco setting, each having 9 different sensitivity ratings.

    The High Output setting is instant, no lag.

    The Eco setting makes the car perform far slower than normal. I might try it to see how much Mpgs it yields.


    Seriously, I will do a short test, and let you know my results.
    Hey Alex1a1f, can the settings be changed on the fly or do you have to be stopped?

    Did I call it weak? I thought I called it modest haha.

    I'm pretty sure you can change the settings on the fly. Last I looked it over before I got one. If not you have so many settings to choose and tweak from.

    Wouldn’t want a twitchy throttle if the road conditions take a turn for the worst. And that happens a lot around these parts.

    Which brings up another thing - does this impact ESC?

    On the fly. You can fine tune it fit twitchiness whenever you like.

    Nope, it did nothing to ECS.. I tried that too.
