    How to convert a hot foot PRO into a dual action throttle ?

    Hi all,

    I'd like to try to convert a hot foot PRO into a dual action throttle.
    I know Land & Sea and Incontrol make/made those throttles, but as they are (very) pricey a hot foot conversion might be the way to go.

    Do you guys have any experience with this ?
    Any thoughts ?
    Any pics ?

    I've added some pictures myself, to get this thread starting.

    Thanks!

    In for the subscription. I love my hot foot but when pulling the kids on the tube or doing 60 miles on the Hudson its not so fun.

    This explains alot. The Sjöberg Racing dual foot costs about 210€ (so I was told) which seems reasonable.
    Anyhow, back to my initial question. Did anyone actually try to convert a hot foot and how did it turn out ?

    Thanks in advance for sharing !

    A may be wroung but they stop making alot of them because they were not to safe simple to do but if your not going fast then use the foot part to go faster and forget to pull the handle back when you decied to let off you can guess what happens. With that being said all you have to do as get a cable with attaable ends if your hot foot has a place for 2 cables hook it from contral to hot foot and your done dont forget when you let off of the hot foot it only cames back to where your handle was set at if its dead slow you will go dead slow if it wide open when you take your foot of it won't slow down. That way they don't have them anymore the one that think safty don't make them to sell because of the lieblity
