Looking at momentary switch buttons. One for dump down and cpl other uses such as oh shyt button I have that dumps chute while keeping boy=th hands on wheel,Hey its a FED and been told takes two hands to drive. Plus I can set chute on auto timer.

What are you using for bump down buttons? The same mushroom as trans brake?

I think if you use the same button as the transbrake it would register as a "flinch" and restart the timer. You need a separate button for bump down.

Yea I meant same style.

Chris That funny right there I don't care who you are.

Now are married men faster at hitting bump down than single guys? Sorry just a image joke.

One racer at our home track has bump down button on wheel like yours. He does same thing beats on it until car launches. Ask him what he is doing he says playing whack a mole.

The big red mushroom is what I would go with, bigger face to hit just in case you miss it by a little you still have a good chance of actually hitting it.

No joke Chris, I hit my bump down 11 times last year in October at one of our local halloween races and managed to be .013 still. Completely luck, but glad I had it!

I need a bump down for no-box racing. I know I'm late when I let go. I'd put it right on top of the steering wheel because I'm hitting there anyway. Button better be good quality. I already broke one steering wheel.
