Thank you to all of our incredible supporters for helping make BangShift Billy what it is today and for showing up strong at the PRI show last week. Your enthusiasm, feedback, and passion for innovation continue to drive us forward. It was great connecting with so many of you and sharing the products we’ve worked so hard to bring to life.
In this post, we’ll recap the exclusive PRI deals, answer some of the most common questions we received, and share more information on our Digital Clutch Controller and the new Billy Button and Billy Bar. We’re excited to continue helping you simplify wiring and elevate your vehicle’s performance—let’s dive in!
Digital Clutch Controller
Our Digital Clutch Controller remains the most robust clutch-slipping device on the market, and we’re thrilled by the continued interest it received at PRI. We’re grateful for all the conversations and excitement around it. Plus, let’s be honest—the clutch controller display is just plain fun to operate!
Here are some of the most common questions we heard at the show:
Q: Is this like the *insert brand* clutch slipper?
A: No. There’s no other clutch-slipping device like The BangShift Billy. If there were, I’d be running it on my Fairlane. Our clutch controller offers unmatched adjustability, allowing you to control clutch slip down to the thousandths of a second. Many other clutch slippers force the clutch to slip during the first few inches of pedal travel, making it tough to cut good lights and turning your clutch into molten lava.
Q: How do you activate it?
A: There are two ways to activate the clutch controller:
- For aftermarket ECU vehicles, you can wire it directly to your ECU and set it to trigger under specific conditions. For example: Clutch Switch Down, TPS > 90%, MPH < 3.
- For stock ECU or carbureted vehicles, the “Master Switch” feature lets you activate it by pressing the clutch pedal and a button (on your steering wheel, dash, shifter, etc.).
Q: Do you have a kit for my car?
A: Absolutely! The clutch controller is universal and works with any hydraulic clutch vehicle. The S550 Mustang option you see on the order page is only listed separately because of the specific wire length required for those applications.
Q: Are you running a PRI show special?
A: Yes! Use code PRI2024 during checkout to save 15% and free shipping on the clutch controller.
The Billy Button
The Billy Button is a wireless 4-button controller designed to trigger up to four 30-amp circuits from your steering wheel. Whether it’s activating performance upgrades like nitrous, line locks, or transbrakes, the Billy Button gives you instant, reliable control without the hassle of running wires through your steering wheel or dash. Built for durability and ease of use, it seamlessly integrates into high-performance and recreational vehicles alike.
Here are some of the most common questions we heard at the show:
Q: What is the delay on the Billy Button?
A: 28 milliseconds. That's 4 times faster than the blink of an eye. It's also likely quicker than the sample rate of your aftermarket ECU.
Q: Does it use Bluetooth?
A: No. The Billy Button uses Radio Frequency (RF). Bluetooth is too slow and unreliable for this application.
Q: Is it secure?
A: Yes! All four buttons have their own address with 16.7 million possibilities. You're more likely to win the lottery than guess the addresses.
Q: What is the range?
A: 30 feet. We also offer an antenna that can extend the range to 100 feet.
Q: What is the battery life?
A: Several years. In fact, if you held down all 4 buttons, it would take 2 years and 4 months to get the battery to 20%. We just recommend charging it once per season.
Q: When do these ship?
A: Q1 of 2025.
Q: Are you running a PRI show special?
A: Yes! We reopened our Billy Button pre-orders. This is limited to 20 spots at $545. This will be a significant discount over the final product price.
The Billy Bar
The Billy Bar is a versatile wireless button panel that lets you trigger up to four 30-amp circuits without the hassle of running wires through your dash or firewall. Perfect for roll cages, dashes, or anywhere you need it, the Billy Bar gives you reliable, instant control for lights, accessories, or performance upgrades—simplifying wiring for any vehicle.
