What if there was a way to radically change how your vehicle responds to throttle input in less than five minutes ? What if , in that time , you could set yourself up with a system that would allow you to alter the sensitivity of the throttle at the push of a button ? I ’ m talking about throttle controllers ; more specifically , the Ultimate9 evcX . No other 4WD modification that I have made has provided such an instant , noticeable difference to my driving .
Anti-Slip mode reduces your chance of wheel spin when driving on slippery surfaces such as snow , ice and mud .
QUICK INSTALLATION
First , let ’ s clarify something important . Throttle controllers do not increase or improve the power or torque of the engine . Instead , they tweak – or radically alter – the response of the engine to throttle input by ‘ talking ’ to the vehicle ' s engine control unit . If you ’ ve not heard of throttle controllers before , they are not voodoo – they are a genuine , safe vehicle modification that 4WD owners swear by .
The factory throttle setting of my 2018 MU-X is fine but not great . Like all vehicles , it is set to address the driving styles and needs of a wide range of customers . The result is therefore sometimes a vehicle that could be more responsive , or perhaps less responsive , depending on the driving conditions .
I love my MU-X but the factory throttle settings are a bit sluggish .
