I have the Microsoft wheel and am considering getting a momo. I do know
that the red momo is considered by many to be one of the best but they
no longer make the red momo.

Is the black momo functionally the same as the red? From what I
understand the black has a lot of plastic. I don't mind plastic. My
Microsoft wheel is plastic. I care about performance. If the red
performs that much better than the black then I will try to hunt one
down on ebay or something. Of course I won't really know if I like it
better than the Microsoft wheel until I actually try it for myself. I
just want to gather some opinions from those who have used both. Or all
3 that I have spoke of would be even better. Nick

Get the Driving force Pro instead, I have Both the Momo and the Driving
Force and I like the Driving Force better.

I went from the MS wheel to the Momo. I like the 'feel and control'
better with the Momo over the MS. But, be aware there are (or at least
were) some problems associated with the pedals. Every now and then,
mine seem to lose response--at which point I unplug them from the wheel
and plug them back in and we are good to go until next time (this is a
'fix' I picked up from one of the forums.) Doesn't happen real often
but it does happen now and then.

I use the wheel for SCC and NR03. I do like the profiler for assigning
functions to various buttons-real easy to use.

Free advice...and worth just what ya paid for it...

I should have mentioned that this wheel is for pc use. Mainly NR2003 and
other sims. The driving force is an console wheel correct?

Cool that seals it. Going to give that one a try. Thanks for making me
aware of the pedal situation. I think I remember reading about some
pedal issues. Nick

I think it works with a PC or a PS2.

Works for both, and is their top of the line wheel now. I think it's
fantastic.

I picked one up a CompUSA a couple of weeks ago, it was $50 after rebate.
I'm not sure if the deal is still on...

The Momo Force has better resolution and a shifter. That, really, is the
only improvement over the MSFFW.

Oh, and the very nice Logitech Profiler Software which blows Microsoft's
untended-for-5-years profile software away.

The new pedals on the Momo Force are the first acceptable Logitech Pedals to
me but I still think, from an ergonomic standpoint, the MS pedals are a bit
better. The resolution of the Logitech's is 8 times greater though (at
least in step count).

Im really surprised you think the Force has "acceptable" pedals. To me they
are *nearly* useless. I use em long before I upgraded to the the AL Champ
Pedals though so it they may work much better tweaked with a squash ball or
whatever other tweaks are used.

Just out of curiuosity Larry where did you find the Force? Im looking for
one more but I cant find any.

Ginger had this problem during some RASCAR races I believe.

And you know what the REAL crying shame was?

We STILL couldn't beat his ass LOL

Dave,

I heard they back-slid on the pedals though. What do you think?

From what I've read at their forum, they released a second version of their
pedals/pots (rev B), and that's what I have. I guess I'll have to wait and
see if the same thing happens to me that happened to Ginger. I like them
though.

MOMO Force has a shifter? I should get my money back--it only has the
paddle shifters. And is red. Bummer.

by **Steve Simpso** » Sat, 12 Mar 2005 06:27:54

I think he was referring to the momo racing (black) which has a shifter and
decent pedals. The momo force (red) has no shifter and awful pedals.
