Stuck with the same one i had in there so I didn't have to screw with the lines. Its a Hurst Roll Control. I can hear it click off immediately but it seems to bleed the pressure slow. I mean its WAY better than it was. May be the same as it used to be when I did not have any issues. The whole thing has be pondering if its worth it even if it is ok now. Eventually it wont be again. And I am certain it will rear its ugly head again at some point.

If my kid just put his foot on brake and I saw him move off it was instant release of the wheel. So it has to do with the release of pressure by the line lock.

Ok the way it dumps the pressure then. I will have to investigate further on that. I just pushed the button and listen to it click. Need to put pressure on it and try. One thing to check is if it varies with the amount of brake pressure. If it does that wouldn't be good for RT.

yeah it clicks instantly. I had car on lift with tire waist high. Him in the car. He would bump in like he was staging. Set Tbrake, and release. I could see his arm move, the click, then very slight delay the tire move. Now I am obviously limited with how much force. And i am sure unleashing 900-1000 HP motor will move it quicker.

When he was bumping in the wheel instantly moved with each let up on the brake. We did a few bump ins and just pretended to foot brake and it was nearly instant release of the wheel when I saw his body move.

Before though doing the same method it was crazy how long it took. For curiosity purposes we took apart the old one and did not see anything obvious. They are pretty simple.

Only difference between the two installs was I put a schottsky Diode on the lines - which in theory should make the collapsing field quicker and contain the voltage spike caused by it.

Thought about putting a gage in when I foot braked more. Makes sense to keep foot pressure the same. Now I concentrate on thumb pressure. LOL.

Been practicing. 4 sets of 10 hits. Average .004 spread .015 across 40 hits. If I go out there this weekend and click off a 40 or worse out of the blue I might call it quites for the year. lol.
