Does anybody have experience with the Thrustmaster T3 steering wheel.
( Nascar Steering wheel in the USA).

The T2 has a lot of problems with broken springs or dameged pots. How
was with the T3.

How is the handling?

I got the Nascar Pro wheel & pedals on the weekend. But I'm taking
it back for a refund this coming weekend.

The Wheel was very good indeed. Much better than previous TM efforts.
The shifter was also very good (Although I prefer using the Pro's wheel
mounted buttons for this).

What kills this unit is the Pedals. They look good but work like shit.
They are vertical and require heavy pressure. It wears out your legs
in 10 seconds. The pedals will not stay planted so you must nail
them to the floor. The angle of your feet on the pedals means you
either have to sit with your ass on the floor or become double
jointed.

Although it does not feature resistance like the N3. (and you may
well like to have resistance), the new CH Racing wheel works
wonderfully, with better on wheel shifting and smooth precise steering.
Nothing compares to CH Pedals. The only thing to watch for with
CH pedals is that mine do not support use on Joystick A. I am not
sure if the newer CH pedals offer this feature which can be needed
on games which do not provide 4 axis controller support.

I hope this helps you
