Does anyone know anything about the new NASCAR Charger Racing Wheel by
Thrustmaster?

Does anyone have any information on the NASCAR Charger Racing Wheel by
Thrustmaster?

Its a low cost wheel built by TM. not near as good a wheel as most out
there, but it works. I use one myself. Some complaints I have on the set is
the pedals are too close together and too small. But if your like me and
simply dont have a lot of cash to invest in sim racing, its worth using. I
think theres several places offering it for around 35 bux right now. About
the price of a fair joystick, so its a good buy. And it uses the same
software that the higher priced TM's use, so I assume the design is
basically the same. Just not as good looking.

Unfortunately. Cheap wheel which worked about two weeks...
Then "pots" broked. Avoid that wheel!

 Gotta wonder what your doing with your wheel, Jussi . LOL Just kidding.
I used mine about a week, took it apart .. seen the cheap pots and replaced
them before they had a chance to break. Cheap fix, but if you havent got a
soldering iron, and if Jussi says avoid it, then go with that.

It blows. I picked one up and used it for about a month when my GP1 (the
predecessor to the Charger) was unrepairable. First one I bought the pots
where so bad in it I took it back figuring I'd been sold a used one. Got one
straight out of their stock shipment (I helped the guy unpack it) and it was
only good for about 2 weeks before the steering pot started to jitter.
