I've looked at the Maxxecu software a few times, it seems fairly simple and well laid out. However I have never actually used one. A friend did buy ne for his R33 a while back, but not sure if he's fitted it yet or how he's getting on.
But they do seem to have a lot of good options, and are keenly priced. I would like to try one, but TBH I just can't see any reason to buy one, when I'd always choose Syvecs first.

And it's not just a case of saying datalog every run. Most ecu's these days have datalogging, even the DTA I used before for 15 years or so had datalogging.....but it's like saying a car is a car. It isn't that simple.
And although I havent watched the video....yes some ecu's will say they have traction control, but how it works in the real world can be very different. Syvecs is excellent. DTA's was ok...but just too often for whatever reason, it just failed to react and one time it got far too scary for comfort when not expecting it.
But as with engines, gearboxes....tuning traction control to get it good takes time.
max ecu from what ive seen is gaining popularity due to its pricepoint and level of features .decisions decisions

I really cant afford to fook this up
