You guys give me too much credit. I just pass on the information given to me from the powers-that-be.
beetle - You will find that unless you're racing stock truck, not pulling the trigger will be the fastest way around the track. Some gas races we go to, it is not uncommon to never touch full throttle, sometimes even on the straightaway. I am also very notorious for never turning full-lock in either direction.
A smooth throttle finger is no less evident in mod electric racing. A HUGE majority of club-level racers will be faster around a track with a stock motor just for this reason.
