AA Can Am X3 Launch Control Module

The Aftermarket Assassins Launch Control Module builds boost at the starting line on 2017 and newer Can-Am Maverick X3 models, for drag racing, other racing, or just fun.

Why it holds up

• Developed with DynoJet, with AA wiring, switch, programming, tune and tech support
• 2 step launch builds boost at the line. Brake boosting alone makes little manifold pressure and can be hard on clutches and belts.
• Launch RPM is programmed by AA and can be changed with a Windows computer and DynoJet C3 software

Fits

• 2017 and newer Can-Am Maverick X3: 120HP, 135HP, 154HP, 172HP, 195HP RR and 200HP RR

In the box

• DynoJet launch control module, programmed by AA
• AA wiring harness with launch switch
• USB cable for adjusting launch RPM

Good to know

• ME17 ECU models (including the 2017 154HP, 2018 to 2021 172HP and 2020 X3 RR 195HP) require AA custom tunes for a PV3 device to work with this module. Read the full description before ordering.
• MG1 ECU models (2021 and newer RR 195HP and 200HP, and 2023 and newer 135HP) cannot be flashed at this time but normally run launch control fine on OEM tuning. There is a slight risk of misfire detection, which has not been an issue in AA testing.
• AA tunes bought before November 1, 2020 need an update to the latest version, which desensitizes misfire so the machine does not go into limp mode.
• Choose launch RPM (1800, 2000, 2300, 2500 or 2700), model years (2017 to 2022 or 2023 and newer) and 2 or 4 seat.
• Run this module with an AA clutch kit or any kit with a higher stall than factory.
• 120HP, 154HP and 172HP with the AA S2 or S3 kit: the purple and blue primary spring engages around 2000 RPM, purple and black around 2300 RPM, and purple and yellow around 2500 RPM. Purple and yellow raises peak RPM by roughly 200.
• 2020 X3 RR 195HP with the AA S2 or S3 kit: the green primary spring engages around 2000 RPM, purple and blue around 2300 RPM, purple and black around 2500 RPM, and purple and yellow around 2700 RPM. Purple and yellow raises peak RPM by roughly 200.
• For fun riding, set launch at engagement RPM to protect the clutch and belt. For drag racing, AA suggests 200 to 500 RPM above engagement. That takes more brake and builds more boost, and it is harder on the belt and clutches, so use it in moderation.
• Set launch RPM right at clutch engagement. To find engagement, put the machine in high range on flat ground, press the gas slowly and note the RPM where it starts to move. Repeat a few times for a consistent number.
• After install, try launch control without holding the brake. The machine should barely want to move. If it lurches, go to a higher stall spring, a fresh clutch spring, or a lower launch RPM.
• To launch: start the machine and let it idle (the module will not engage above 1500 RPM). Press and hold the launch switch and go full throttle. The machine holds launch RPM. Most riders hold the brake too. Drop the brake and the switch at the same time to go.
• To change launch RPM: install the DynoJet C3 software on a Windows computer, connect the module with the supplied USB cable, open Configure, then Feature Enables and Inputs Selections, then Launch Control. Change the target RPM and click Send.
