Default Removing Throttle Pedal

Did the searching….including “how to’s”….

Is removing the throttle pedal just one bolt under the rubber plug cover? Installing a throttle controller, and would be much easier than contorting and blindly removing the plug if it was as simple as a single bolt.

Thanks.

Yes. Single bolt to remove. Then slide the pedal backwards and upwards.

Simple project if you remove the throttle pedal. I installed one of these on my c-6 and Wow, what a difference. Good luck....

Many thanks for the replies. Looked easy but, as always, having knowledge before hand can make things much easier. Device goes in tomorrow :-). Went with the Sprint Booster. 10% off for Halloween. On the pricey side but good reviews and small footprint.

I spoke to the techs at the company to ask them about the modes. My question was whether the response goes linearly up as you go from sport 9 to track 1 (there are 9 settings in each mode). Answer no. The mapping is different in track mode. He said that sport 9 would be more akin to track 3, but response profile is different for the track.

Just did this to mine when I installed the Soler throttle controller. Just the one bolt, then slide the pedal assembly back towards the seat and it pops out - has two prongs that sit down into slots on the floorboard. Easy to do, just a little cramped in the workspace.
