The VPC team have been working non-stop on our next projects, we're now ready to reveal the latest news and updates on our progress:
► VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle Update
VPC are continually pushing our desire to work as close as possible with the community to create the products that everyone wants to see.
It’s been made very clear to us that a high quality, multifunctional throttle unit is one of the community’s most anticipated products. As such we’ve realised our responsibility to provide our customers with a product that best meets their expectations.
We’ve been carefully reviewing the requests we received after our new VPC MongoosT-50® Throttle design was revealed, which led us to swapping a toggle switch for a 5 way mode toggle. This further increases the programmability found in the VPC MongoosT-50® Throttle.
We had also noted a very large number of requests for LED lighting on our throttle. Due to this, we’ve decided to redesign the housing, faceplates and electronics to accommodate the community’s desire for programmable LED lighting!
To facilitate these large changes to the VPC MongoosT-50® Throttle, we hugely regret that the target release date is now postponed until Q1 2018.
Updates including demonstrations of the LED lighting system will be revealed in the near future, along with confirmed release dates.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to provide feedback and suggestions on the design of our products!
Stay tuned for further updates.
