Our EVC throttle controllers are among our bestsellers, and for good reason. Whatever your vehicle make or model, this small but perfectly formed upgrade gives you the means to unlock several perks, many of which go beyond performance.
Did we mention that all these advantages are made possible at the click of a button too? That’s right, there are no extensive or expensive mechanical upgrades required to get the best out of your vehicle.
In this blog post, we explore the benefits of using EVC throttle control in your vehicle so you can determine whether it’s the right next 4WD upgrade for you.
Reduce throttle lag
How throttle controllers work is simple – this vehicle-specific device taps into the responsiveness of your accelerator pedal, providing new points of reference for throttle mapping. This means that you can either dampen or sharpen your 4WD’s throttle curve.
By doing the latter, you’ll eliminate the lazy factory delay, known as throttle lag, and deliver immediate feedback with great results. The process makes your vehicle more responsive, with enhanced acceleration, the feeling of more power and a more enjoyable, engaging overall driving experience all part of the package.
Improve fuel efficiency
The use of EVC throttle control can work wonders for your fuel efficiency too. With a throttle controller, you have several modes to play with – more when you upgrade to an evcX Throttle Controller – one of which is Eco Mode.
With this economy setting, your controller smooths throttle inputs, reducing unnecessary fuel burn, which is especially helpful in urban areas or when driving at slow speeds.
Navigate any terrain
The joy of an EVC Throttle Controller has to be the customisable driving experience it makes possible. With this tiny device, you can negotiate all conditions, with rocky terrain, sand and softer ground, ruts, and other off-road obstacles all easily conquered.
We’ll let Carolina Rovers explain more about how modifying your throttle via a controller helps in any off-road driving scenario:
“Select a soft response for loose surfaces, such as mud or sand, to enhance grip. This setting reduces power delivery, allowing for better traction and minimizing wheel spin. On rocky terrains, a medium response is advantageous. It provides a balance between power and manoeuvrability, permitting precise adjustments while navigating obstacles, thus improving overall vehicle agility.”
An EVC Throttle Controller is great for long distance driving too. A more responsive pedal means less physical effort, fewer exaggerated throttle inputs and minimal driver fatigue.
Enhance performance in urban areas too
It’s not just during off-roading where a throttle controller is of use. By adjusting your throttle response you’ll have the confidence to overtake, merge on motorways and tackle the challenges of everyday driving in urban settings and beyond. A sharper throttle response after all provides quicker acceleration when it’s needed most.
Enjoy better towing performance
With multiple modes allowing you to tailor throttle sensitivity like never before, all conditions can be catered for, and this includes towing. Increased throttle responsiveness helps a loaded vehicle get moving more easily. Using a throttle controller, you’ll be able to maintain momentum, even when pulling up hills or launching from a stop with cargo.
Unlock the feeling of more power
Although a throttle controller doesn’t necessarily increase engine output, the snappier response makes the vehicle feel more powerful and alive underfoot. You don’t have to compromise safety either. All this is made possible while preventing potentially dangerous wheel spin and maintaining smoother traction even in wet, icy or loose gravel conditions.
