Iam Oddie(Who makes that specific ECU) and several other of the UK and European large scale racers often drop by there, and the ECU has been discussed a couple of times. You won't find many winners than DON'T use the ECU.

Here is a couple of direct links to an ECU thread.

part-time

My Feedback: (1)

do u want the adj. timing part of it or r u looking more at the rpm temp ect. aspects of it? if u just want the rpm temp ect look at the eagle tree alot cheaper and gives u speed. or the msd kicker ignition gives u the timing and a higher voltage spark again cheaper.

Friend of mine has one. When the track has a long straight it makes sense to use it, the engine can rev-up significant higher (saw it doing 23.500 RPM).
When the engine cannot rev to the max due to the track lay-out he takes it off to save some weight.
Unless you are really into racing and want to squeeze the last drop of possible power out I think it makes not much sense to put it on. Rather spend the money on something else then. For on-road it is much more a good hop-up than in off-road.

cheers people..

I just re-read the threads on the ECU, I can see that the inventor only uses it for On-Road.
He said at that time, that the off-road cars break easily enough at the speeds he can get without the ECU, so He won't use the ECU for off-road....

Apache-

That was in the past I gues - Ian does use an ECU off-road as well as I recall from the waldrane race last year, more people use it but not many (so far). Also because it is not the cheapest gadget...

Hi Apache,
Are you doing Waldrane this year? If so, then I try to find you there or see me in the Brit camp, theres alot of us going this year as I think its the last one there?

Someday I am going to find myself one... Not for any racing value, but to satisfy my lust for technology.....
It was also that lust that gave me my Nomadio Sensor, and I haven't regretted it even once.
