Has anyone had trouble with the Nascar Pro accelerator springs breaking?
I've had mine for less than a month and both springs in the accelerator
broke.  I'm fairly easy on the pedals, so I'm surprised they broke.  I
opened up the base and the springs don't look very sturdy for the amount of
tension that they must support.

Give 'em a call...(503) 615-3200. Their voice lines work 1000% better than
e-mail. They are very nice, fast and understanding that there are probs
w/NPW spring design. (Me Too ;-))) A couple *** bands around the back of
the pedal/front corner of the base will get you by until the mail gets your
new springs here ;-)).

Happy Lappin'

Yes same here. Called Thrustmaster and they sent new ones, received the new
ones in less than a week.
They said that the "new" batch should be stronger.

Hey,
        Get a part time job for a month and junk those Thrustmaster's and
buy an ECCI wheel. The second option is too chew a lot of gum for
repairs.See you in the NRO.
