Hi,

I've been using one for a few months now, I'm actually on my second
one now as the gearbox broke in the first. Now that the drivers are
sorted, it's quite a good wheel. My only gripe is that there are no
paddles for gearchanges. The wheel is a bit slippery but I solved that
by wrapping bicycle handlebar tape round it (cork is best) but leave a
gap round the light sensors.

The pedals, on the other hand are dire, there is nowhere near enough
spring resistance and the geometry is such that is is impossible to
use them with ones heel on the ground and it is therefore difficult to
get good control. This is a real pain in MGPRS2 where a tiny bit too
much throttle can spin the car.

Cheers

Mark
