Here's some basic info on how to do this. First you will need the following: I recommend a 15-25 watt soldering iron, ).032 solder, a tact switch and very fine wire like 24 or 22 AWG wire. I got the latter from an old cd walkman. Luckily I barely throw out anything I have that breaks 'cause I know I use it for something or other.
Basically you take apart the controller...there are about 13 screws to remove including the steering wheel then there are like 8-10 more holding the circuit board in place...there will be lots of parts so work inside a shoe box or something so you don't lose anything. One you have it all apart you just need to solder two wires to the throttle switch like I have in the Pic (I know it's cheesey but it gets the point accross) and the other ends to the tact switch. Routing the wires is the hardest part it took me a couple tries before the controller would finally shut right. Ya just gotta have patience w/ this stuff. As far as mounting the switch I used a hobby knife to cut out a hole in the back of the controller and put some super glue on the back to hold it in place. After the screws are back in, set your trim to low, break out your car and hit the "NOS" for fast straight-aways!

P.S. Hope this helps ya out...lemme know If any of y'all try this mod!
