***QTP Electric Cutout Controller*** Well it looks like we made our even toys more fun to play with.
Introducing the Quick Time Electric Cutout Controller
Controls up to 2 QTECs
Calibrates each motor independently and synchronizes their position (open, closed, partial open)
Automatic close at power up
Digital status display shows door position
Manual pushbutton operation for open, close, or partial open
User configurable partial open position
Automatically open or close by grounding or not grounding the trigger wire (for use with engine management system)
Short circuit protection on motor drive electronics
Fault detection and reporting
Some pics
Here is a small video of it in action. Nothing special the video.

Now this is a working prototype and production will be running shortly.
This will be an option for our product but hooks up to existing QTECs. Just replaces the toggle switch.
Price will be around $100.00.
What do you guys think?

I always thought a Wot-switch cutout opening would
be bad-***. Problem is, daily driving WOT opportunities
are often less than the opening time. Can you / is this
rigged so a WOT switch would open it, and close on
release? Is there a faster-actuating motor option
(I know you like to call the slow opening speed a
"feature"
but still...)?

I think it's a cool unit, but I would try and make it smaller if you could. I think you would get a lot more purchases (mine included), it the unit was somehow capable of being integrated into a panel of some sort as opposed to being velcroed on. A 2 1/16" gauge like mounting option would be really wicked.

I would agree with this idea, or at least possibly having the wires exit the controller from the back so that it can be mounted flat.

why don't you just make a switch on the cutout itself to stop it when it opens fully and closes fully it would be much cheaper and make your product last allot longer
because mine quit working right about a month after getting it because it kept rotating after it was fully opened
i think it should come standard to make the product work correctly for years not just months
