Quickdraw Drag Trigger Trans Brake Switch

At the flash of the yellow, most racers will lift their thumb off of a button by pulling their arm straight back or up. In that particular motion, you will use somewhere between 20 to 25 muscles to release the transbrake. There are a lot of variables when using this technique. Fatigue, the position of your 5-layer driving suit, the position of your thumb on the button, pressure applied to the button, along with the inadequacies of the commonly used button’s internals. All of this adds up to inconsistency.

The QuickDraw Drag Trigger trans brake switch uses a fraction of those muscles and joints. But more importantly, it eliminates a bunch of those other variables. Have you ever shot a rifle? Notice how crisp and consistent those triggers are. Quickdraw has the exact same effect as a high-end custom rifle trigger. With the latest prototype test results, both in car and on a practice tree, it’s undoubtedly quicker and more consistent than a standard button. Quickdraw works very well with top bulb racers and heads up racers alike. The added consistency is a must at big money bracket races.

The internal workings of the trigger all but eliminate the inconsistencies of the switch itself. Most buttons use a light spring to push back the button top and release the contacts. Friction differences from surface contaminants and button cap cocking are eliminated. The QuickDraw Drag Trigger uses internal springs that are much stronger than a button switch plunger to actuate the industrial controls switch in the heart of Quickdraw. It does not rely on internals in the switch to actuate. Levers inside of QuickDraw are precision machined like a custom rifle trigger to consistently break and operate the switch.

	Drag Trigger Trans Brake Switch  $269 The QuickDraw Drag Trigger is completely made in the USA with aircraft grade aluminum and industrial components. The internal levers are all stainless-steel hardened and precision made. All metal parts are precision billet made on CNC machines. All aluminum parts are anodized for long life and a nice finish. The stainless-steel parts are black iron nitrided for surface hardness and long life. The micro-switches are an industrial component used in the aerospace industry and has also been proven by other manufacturers in the racing world. The concepts applied to high precision rifle triggers have been incorporated into this design based on years of experience in the firearms industry. The QuickDraw Drag Trigger is the quickest and most consistent way to actuate a transbrake available today. It is optimized both for racers needing a few hundreds off their reaction time and for the bracket racers that need absolute consistency on the button.
	Drag Trigger Lever Kit  $30 The lever kit contains three different attachments to trip the lever reset on the QuickDraw Drag Trigger. The long extension is 1.50 X 0.50 X 0.375 and adds 1.125 of length to the reset lever. The short extension is is 1.25 X 1.00 X 0.50 and adds 0.875 of length to the reset lever. The round extension is 0.250 dia X 1.00 long. It can be attached directly to the reset lever or on the extensions as needed. All the screws needed to attach the extensions are included for any mix and match combo. These have proven to be very useful for mounting and are recommended if you are installing them for the first time and may need to accommodate a variety of mounting locations or orientations.
	Mounting Plate  $15 The mounting plate assists in mounting the QuickDraw Drag Trigger in various positions. You can also bend the plate and come up with your own angle that suits your needs. The plate is made of 6061-T6511 aluminum and is 4.00 X 2.50 X 0.125 thick. There are 4 holes that can attach it to either side of the QuickDraw trigger. Includes 4 #8-32 UNC X 0.375 flathead screws to attach the plate to the trigger. The other holes are #6-32 UNC threaded for use in attaching the plate to the vehicle. These holes can also be drilled out for use with other fasteners.
