Steering Wheels, HELP!

Steering Wheels, HELP!

by Scott Rixo » Mon, 11 May 1998 04:00:00

I am looking for a new wheel. I had an F1 Racing Sim and was very impressed,
but I broke it! The accelerator failed in a race. I am now looking for a new
one.

My problem is that I live in the UK, I can't find any wheels other than the
thrustmaster wheels. I don't rate the thrustmaster wheels so I am looking
for some thing else. Can any one help?

Hi Scott,

Have you considered a TSW Formula model? We have the BEST equipment made
with a warranty to match :) please take a look at:

I agree!

I have  TSW2. Don't waste money on a TM wheel, the TSW is not much
more money and will outlast any Thrustmaster or CH Wheel! The
difference is unbelievable!!!!

Check 'em out!!!

Regards,

Rick Carlson

Scott,

It may be of interest to you to look up our CDS2 and CDS2SR controllers. In the
construction of our units, we do not use ANY plastic bearing structures like
the wheel you mentioned and most others. We use only high quality ball bearings
in the steering mechanism, and proper sintered bronze bushings everywhere else
including the pedals. We also offer a truly adjustable steering mechanism with
the ability to tune spring resistance characteristics and travel, all with no
loss in reliability. We use only top quality industrial grade components for
everything including the critical potentiometers. Most users of our products
experience avarage potentiometer life in excess of two years even with intense
daily use.

You gotta be kidding me? Where the hell have you been looking? under a
stone!!!

Try PC World

Try Game

Try Electronic Boutique

Try Curry's, Dixons & your local toyshops

Try Mail order from any pc games mag

Try direct from companies like Simply Computers or Special reserve

And as for *only* Thrustmaster wheels? (which are pretty good as it
happens?)

Try the per4ormer (crap)

Try the Destiny wheel & pedals (so so)

Try the F1 Sim & F1 Sim compact (Great, but expensive))

Try the Top drive wheel and pedals (so so)

Try the VRF1 Wheel and pedals (good)

Try exporting from the USA, eg:- the ECCI or TSW wheel and pedal set-ups
(probably the best, but most expensive)

Is that enough for you?

Sheeeshh, some people.......

Hi, we're under NDA with Papy so I cant say anything about what we may
or may not be doing, OK?
