Doesn't look like he's changed the mechanical design from the original pedals, and if that's the case there's plenty of travel, I wouldn't trade my set for "anything" :) Nigel, I prefer the original design myself, but I imagine the red one would go nicely with a red Logitech Momo :) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "When two or more people are gathered together in my name, they shall perform the Parrot Sketch..." --Our Lord John Cleese--

Hello Goy Nice to hear from ya. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for your comments. Yeah after I assembled it I stood back and was not really sold on the red. When I showed it to my wife she took too long to decide, and I know thats when she has a doubt. It was worth the look Cya Nigel "Goy Larsen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

John Funny you should say that because most of the people that have my RRC 's shorten the travel. It's fully adjustable in that way. Nigel > > Opinions please on the new look Red back Redline Race Controls pedalunit.

You know what they say, happy customers are worth their weight in gold...or something like that :), the old unit isn't being used much these days, call me semi-retired from sim racing, the fun went out of it a couple of years and now I'm only dabbling, but if I decide to come back "full time" I'll still have the best pedal set known to man :) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "When two or more people are gathered together in my name, they shall perform the Parrot Sketch..." --Our Lord John Cleese--

No flames, just a question: I own the Logitech Momo USB (red). I'm sure the instructions on how to "marry" the Momo and another USB pedal set were posted here before, but... any pointers? greetings ronny

You don't need to 'marry' them up. Just put the momo pedals set to one side, plug a better pair in, map them in your sim of choice and off you go.

Hi Ronald While the RRCs are not USB directly they can be used via the Rockfire gamesport-to-USB adapter. I have one and I think it is brilliant. Providing the pedal unit has high grade 250k pots (which the RRC's do) the adpater works very well. I can get the adapter here in New Zealand but it labels as the DSE brand. So with both the steering unit and RRCs plugged into the separate USB ports all games that have been done properly will "see" both controllers and you setup in Windows and the games to use two controllers. I just did this with my analogue steering plugged into the USB via the adapter and then plugged in the pedals via the games port and setup both controller in Nascar 2002, GTR, GPL and RFactor. They all ran as expected using both controllers. Normally I use both my pedals and steering via the adapter thru a Y splitter cable. The adapter offers rock solid calibration. The games port jitters all over the place.

Thanks for the info. I was worried about same axis being used by both controllers without realizing that they are seen by XP as two separate devices. Duh! So it's just the sim's task to support two devices. Okay, now I just have to convince myself to spend ~300 Euros on a (great) pedal set... greetings ronny

Not really. Plus I got a good exchange rate. Well worth the money - you get what you pay for, after all. Had the for three yrears now, same pots and same springs.

You won't be disappointed Ronny. I've had mine for a few years and they're as solid now as they were when new. Nice job Nige... :-) -- See ya in the pits, Dean I have a terrible memory. In fact my memory's so bad I can't remember how long it's been since I've forgotten anything.

Take a look at this: http://www.tytlandsvik.no/momo/ The adapter let's you remove the pedal unit and it's wire harness completely. No need to cut wires or solder anything. You plug in the adapter into the wheel and plug USB and Power into the adapter. -- Jone Tytlandsvik http://tytlandsvik.no mailto: firstname at lastname dot no

Looks very nice Jone. In my case I get along OK but I sure like the idea of not having to plug in the old (actually never used)Momo pedals then shove them out of the way. For that convenience what do you charge shipped to the US? [email hidden] I'd trade ya for a set of Momo pedals LOL.

I had planned on putting the electronics of the pedals into a plastic box mounted on my ECCI's but I hadnt gotten around to it. This looks to be a better option and he's already invested the time in development and is selling it cheaper than I could put one together using my own time/money formula of course, LOL. You will be hearing from me soon Jone. Thanks again for your effort. Mitch "Ped Xing" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I'd love to build my own pedals. The mechanicals would not be an issue. I'd just start with a 'drop-down' set from a car in a wrecking yard. The pots and wiring would be my downfall. -Larry "Ped Xing" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Larry The wiring is very easy. I have just revised the wiring the pedal units I build. The wiring no longer has to deal with old games that don't make use of full seaparte and multiple controllers. Even GPL can do this so I don't there will be an issue. if you get to making your own pedals I can help you with the wiring. I still use the joystock plug that then connects to a USB adapter if thats the way you would like to go.

Thanks Nigel. If I did it, I would want to go USB all the way. That does indeed complicate things. -Larry "Nigel Nichols" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:dhk45h$p8k$[email hidden]...
