> Thanks, Jeff I have been using the Formula T1 for nearly a year now. The more you push on the
or aproch a corner using 1/4 then 1/2 then 3/4 brack or any thing in between. They are
both progressive like in real life. The only thing differant is that the springs don't
feal real. The best way to explain is --- In my real car I can press the gass to the
point *just* before the second barrol in the carberator opens because the pettle gets a
bit harder to push from that time on. with the T1 its a continuos presure feeling.
(Thats the best I can explain)
The only problems I've had were that the pettle platform slids on the floor when ever
I press either pettle fast and hard. I corrected that by placing some wood bettween the
wall and the platform. (Minor problem). The other was the spring in the gass pettle
broke. I replacede that with a spring from a small fan that had a palm sized clip with a
spring about the same size as the one that was on the pettle. The company that makes the
T1 does give you replacement parts for free if any thing brakes (found that out after I
modified the thing).
Wich ever wheel system you buy, Be sure to send in the regestration form. its your
tiket for information from the manufacturer about improved systems.
