don't mind the typos oand disregard the insults, I'm quite drunk already. and
thais sh''t notebook ketboard you cand send to orbit anyhow...
Overheatung ids only a problem for later lwffs, comes from a lo0usy themistor on
the board./.. can be corrected easily.
ball bearings is the keyword. whatever makes your wheelshaft steady and the
movement smooth, is the right thing. I still think (have to, of couese ;-) that
the cable driven wheel combined with BB's is the better one <grin>
About the pedals: since I modified my ones, I don't mind short thriow or what
soever as longh as the brake pedal acts virtually pressure sensitive. Haveno
idea trhough, why people are rather looking for larger throw than for more
realistic acting, nevermind
Hmm,.. just readf your brake trick.
Buffer your brak epedal stop with something half-soft and you get an even better
result.
Now I'm getting anothert beer, cheers.
