OK, that's what I figured. For $225 it should include high-quality pots.
Not pots that last ONE MONTH. That is totally ridiculous. I'll shop around
for another wheel. Thanks for the input.

Also, Did anybody try to used Conductive Plastic Pots like the SPEC one in
the TSW Formula '99. Digi-Key has a conductive plactic pot that has all the
same specifications has the one above and sells for $8.04. BTW, the part
number is #RV4N104-ND.
Anybody try these pots... My TSW still has those old RS pots and the brake
pedal one is and need of replacement, I would want to go to conductive
plastic has they're the best (according to Thomas Enterprise).
