My wife couldn't drive my old 12v because the throttle was too touchy and she would make it start bucking.

So now I'm debating between buying an auto or standard shift 3rd Gen, but wanted something she could drive if she needed to. So I guess you could turn the smarty down and make the throttle less touchy?

Yep. You can use the torque management and make it touchy or soft.

Without, and a just the regular revo tune. I would have done better with the TNT, and LOTS better with spray. I'm scared to think what my truck would do on the track with spray. Don't worry, it's coming!
