Wheels with Analog Paddles?

Wheels with Analog Paddles?

by Ian Rich » Wed, 25 Jul 2001 23:17:12

My trusty TM Sprint wheel seems to be nearing the end of its useful
life, with the pots being very worn.

For reasons of space, I need a wheel that has analog paddles in the
same manner as the TM Sprint wheel, that I can use for accelerator and
brake controls.

Does anyone know of such a wheel?

I'm aware that I could probably repair the old wheel, but my memories
of my soldering skill from my electronics 'O' level are not favourable
ones.  I'd probably burn the house down......

I've replaced my Thrustmaster GP1 with their NASCAR Charger II.  It's a
fairly inexpensive wheel.  Quality is not great, but it works fine. Wide
range in paddle travel.  Also comes with pedals, but they're not very
good.  You can order at TM 877 484-5536.

Yup!! Me... :-) I still have a brand new one in the box Ian but
I think you live too far away to pick it up...eh? So there is the
TM Charger Peee Uuu and then the TM Ferrari!! Yea!!! :-)
All have paddles!! I only use paddles for gas/brake and thank
god TM makes them this way! So if you want to come to NJ
I'll give you my new TM Sprint!! :-) Cheers Thom_j.

Yep, I think the airfare would kinda outweigh the saving - but thanks
for the offer!
