Default Throttle rotor?

has anyone ever heard about a throttle rotor? When can you find it and are they a good addition?
Thank You

i think you are referring to a throttle ROTOR such as the one made by weaponR... Not worth it... just tighten your throttle cable...

Basically, its a diameter thing...

The OEM throttle rotor has a 1" diameter per say (Not sure exactly)
The Weapon R has a 1.5" Diameter.

Basically, what it does is, tightens the throttle cable (Which can also be done with adjustments), and changes the "amount" of throttle play that you have by changing the amount of angle that the throttle rotor has to turn in order to come to WOT

i've got one on my car, he's right. it does the same thing that tightening your throttle cable will do.

It is also supposed to be lighter. (aluminum vs. Steel) to give better throttle response. Seems like that would be about as effective as "light weight driving gloves"

Not worth it unless it's free.

even though the weapon r is smaller than the stock one doesnt that mean that it will open the throttle faster. It should turn more with a small pull that the stock one.

yes it will turn it faster, but at the same time, it gives less throttle CONTROL, because it changes the amount you push the pedal to be at WOT...

Someone just tell him it's the best thing ever, that's obviously what he wants to hear. Dude, it's been said, it's not worth it, even by someone who has it. What more do you want? Just tighten your throttle cable for free.
