So have others seen this ( waiting for these comments )

I'm curious why you are adjusting this on the fly.

Adjusting in the fly allowed me to find the settings I like for different conditions. I travel almost a mile on a county road before hitting the highway. My road is incredible bumpy and washboarded, I turn it down so it's less sensitive until I get to the highway. Most times I run it at 50% but if the road turn twisty I turn it up a little and play. In Eureka Springs we did the low speed parade through down town, I shut it off for more pedal at low speed. It started raining on us coming home on the interstate, the road got slick so I turned it down. Personal preference on liking the knob over preset buttons.

Hello Orange, I would need to buy a special "group buy" approved batch from the MFG at special pricing on my end as well to be able to offer this level of savings. Please understand that this pricing can only be obtained if this batch # is met. I do have a little wiggle room on an individual basis if the batch is not met.. so we can get people modding for a cheap as possible. Thanks!

Group Buy Pricing
20+ Units $225/each

The list would need to built here and then i would PM the coupon to each individual member that's interested.

Thank you!

Group buy pricing would push me over the edge to buy and submit a review.

If you do offer group pricing, please notify me.

Its 2am and I just got up to pee. So i could be a little hazy in my thinking. If someone knows if my theory is correct or not post us a reply.

I concur with your theory. 2am is the correct time to pee...

And you are stating for fact that Polaris used the same connecting plugs as Chevy for the electronic throttle???

Easy to spend someone else's dollar, but how about your own?

Yep, I perused thier site...

Didn't see a fitment for Polaris model anything.

With all of the interchangeable parts Polaris uses from Chevy and Jeep and others....the possibility of it plugging in to our pedal could exist.

Im in for group buy

I will say that I don't like that the control unit is not waterproof. I guess I could find a place to put it where it would stay dry, but I would prefer not having to worry about it.

....the end date will be once we reach the goal of 20+ and by then hopefully we have some feedback on either this forum or slingmods......good or bad......

And I'm at about 7 of us so far......

Lets do this!! slingmods perhaps you would want to create a new thread specifically aimed towards the group buy? Just a suggestion.

use alittle clear nail polish around edges and where water might get in ,there u go waterproof.use it acouple of times seems to work good

okay - here is yesterdays PM to my friend who got the Pedal Max at the Las Vegas event this last Spring and the reply from him that I just received

SAT 2:30 PM
Hey Cesar how you doing? I am curious as to what you think of that slingshot throttle response device you got now that you have had it for awhile - is it something you would recommend for a daily driver or would my money be better spent on other mods?

1:33 PM

Hi Edward. It's been awhile since we've talked. Yes it is money well spent. I don't use my slingshot that much. But when I do use it and I want to get around a slow moving car or truck then I just dial it up to about the 75 mark and punch it. You can really feel the difference. You are welcomed to use my slingshot so that you can feel it for yourself before you buy one

With the phone ap...you could slip the wired controller under the radio plastic to keep it dry and use the phone to adjust it.

As others know I am not a fan of these devices since for the slingshot they don't produce any quantifiable results(butt Dyno doesn't count).

However slingmods is offering a money-back guarantee which is not something the other guys were willing to publicly commit here in the forums during that other thread.

So if anyone is interested in the product slingmods is the way to go and if doesn't satisfy you then simply return it for a full refund no questions asked.

I wish this group buy would have happened 2 months ago, I would have bought it if nothing else just to do a few timed pulls but as of yesterday my slingshot went into winter storage since we are expecting snow this upcoming weekend.

I am not sure a device like this would not produce any quantifiable results as you say. If you mash the gas as fast as you can and this device opens the throttle faster than it would open without the device in theory you should get off the line faster and assuming you have traction and all other things were equal then having this device should result in faster times in time to distance events like a 1/4 mile drag race

an improvement in reaction time, be it an improvement in the reflexes of the driver or as in this case the response time of the throttle body to the input of the pedal should result in improved times and that would be a quantifiable result

to me the question is not if there will be measurable improvements, the question is will these improvements be usable - if I am just going to spin my tire easier and have to wait for it to gain traction longer then faster power to the wheel is not really helpful - where a device like this might be helpful for me would be things like passing, time from 50 to 90 or something like that. if the slingshot reacts faster and gets me out and around another vehicle in less time that could be a very useful improvement - as I posted above in my friends reply when I asked about this - this is exactly where he finds the improvement to be worth the investment.

I think I am going to have to take him up on his offer to try his slingshot next time i get the chance - - hopefully it will be easy to see the differences in the throttle improvement despite the other differences in our slingshots

Well, if the group buy does go through, we are going to do some tests and posts results.

That's why I asked if someone going to the race day would mind testing it, doing some laps with and without it. I'd also do my own tests once I get it in hand.

Still hoping Dave will have time to play with his pedal max

You could always slide a latex finger glove over your unit for those times when you expect it to get wet.

You might want to figure out what to tell the wife about the little package in the glove box in advance. Good luck!

Do you possibly think Polaris deliberately programmed in the slight lag time to cover their ass from you killing yourself? Same with the rest of the nanny controls....

I doubt it - as you pointed out earlier the throttle pedal and its electronics are probably off the shelf GM parts and the lag is just part of the design

The pedal has 4 or 5 different sensors that report to the computer. The ecm has the parameters for every sensor. I would think they might be able to be set from digital wrench to do whatever they want them to do. Hence the ability to have the ecm retuned.

Do you really want to try and look at your phone while driving? I have a hard time seeing the screen in bright sunlight using it to play music.
