Technical wireless throttle control

[smilesoffun]

Just a quickie


I am thinking of fitting a wireless throttle control to the 500, has anyone fitted or know of a system?




Thanks

Why ?
What could be the benefits with this ?

 

[smilesoffun]

Well


a) Why not?


But the real reason is my car is running a Styer Puch engine and who ever carried out the conversion did a crap job of setting the cable system
So before I spend money and invest loads of time sorting it with a cable system I thought it may be fun to set up a wireless system

Just curious, how would it work? Would you have some kind of throttle control button on the steering wheel or something vs using the foot pedal?

Fascinating - what could possibly go wrong ...

It would be a similar design to the likes of that used in the Smart car and now most modern cars

modern cars are fly by wire. ecu controls a motor on a throttle body after it receives a signal from throttle pedal, so there is wires but no cable. good luck trying to build your own toyota couldn't get it right

may be remote control from a model car/plane would be easier, but if you pass some one else playing with remote control model on the same channel i don't know what will happen

I was thinking it was more like what handicapped people use if they are paralyzed below the waist. Like what they have on this link:
