Default Weapon R Throttle Controller, thoughts?

Quick disclaimer - I have searched!

I have found multiple threads that discuss the throttle delay of the tC and some of the controllers that are available on the market such as the Blitz, World Racing, TWP, etc.

What I have not seen is anything on the Weapon R controller, The price/features are pretty attractive to me and I would like to get an opinion of those who regularly use one.

I also completely understand I will have no power gains. That is not why I want it I am looking to effectively get more control out of the vehicle

Thoughts, positive or negative, on any controller are appreciated, particularly so for the Weapon R controller

Thanks!

i think every time the car is turned on, you have to reset your setting. what about a used piggyback, you can tune the characteristics of the car.

Not sure I really am looking to dive that deep into it, would be nice, but probably unnecessary for me.

I have one and you don't have to keep adjusting the settings every time u turn the car on. I think its worth it if you dont wanna go piggyback..u can deff feel a difference. I have weapon r idk about any other company.

I had a customer service issue with Weapon R and ended up picking up the TWP controller and it did give me more consistent E/T's and a 1/10th quicker at the track. I was able to get my auto w I/H/E down to 15.98...not to shabby for a 17.1 car. I would run 16.1 consistently before installing the TWP controller.
