Small but perfectly formed, the benefits of adding a throttle controller to your 4WD certainly shouldn’t be underestimated. This tiny electronic device actually modifies the response of the accelerator pedal, allowing the driver to adjust how quickly the throttle retorts – with incredible results!
At the touch of a button, you have the power to make the throttle response more aggressive or gradual, and it makes the driving experience even more personalised to your preferences, not to mention utterly thrilling. As one of the top upgrades for boosting your 4×4’s performance, the throttle controller is an add-on no serious off-roader should be without. But, what is it really like to drive with a throttle controller? In this blog post, we answer that very question!
A truly responsive experience
With its plug and play design, the throttle controller is easy to install and just as simple to deploy. By modifying the response of your vehicle’s accelerator, the controller paves the way for quick changes to throttle behaviour without the need for any invasive, costly or timely modifications to the wider engine management system. And you’ll notice the difference when driving right away!
The brains behind our EVC and evcX throttle controllers are so confident that their controllers will make a positive change that you’ll be eligible for a refund within 30 days if you aren’t completely satisfied with its performance.
Complete customisation
Everyone wants a driving experience that is made for them, and you can achieve just that with the use of a throttle controller.
When driving off-road, especially over rough terrain like rocks, sand or mud, a customised throttle curve and precise control are crucial. A sensitive throttle for instance can cause loss of traction when making your way across challenging ground conditions. But, with a throttle controller, you’re able to adjust your response for a smoother, more gradual use of power and better control.
Convenient to its core
The throttle controller experience is also ultra-convenient, making it easier for you to get the results you want from your new addition.
As well as being simple to install, our vehicle-specific throttle controllers are compatible with a number of makes, models and vehicle types. As a result, it can make a real difference to your driving experience when used on petrol or diesel models with manual or automatic transmission, regardless of any other power upgrades and remaps it has undergone.
Bluetooth app control comes as standard across our new wireless evcX throttle controllers too, meaning you can adjust your vehicle’s throttle response effortlessly from your smartphone.
A more efficient use of power
While throttle controllers are well known and much loved for making the power output from your vehicle smoother, more targeted and efficient, it is important to note that they do not increase your vehicle’s engine power. It is a common misconception that shouldn’t put a dampener on your driving experience as Road Weekly explains:
“Even though it seems that way, throttle controllers really do not enhance your motor’s horsepower. This is out of its pay grade. However, it does give you increased gas pedal sensitivity and faster acceleration by controlling the throttle response curve. This means you can now accelerate faster using the same horsepower as the car.”
