I have built a controller(s) and have been using it for quite some time. I have just had to replace my brake pot and while doing this, I have figured out the basic design that would work even better for me. However, I need some ideas on mountings and such. There was a page with pictures of a whole lot of controllers but I don't have the link. If someone knows what I'm talking about please post a link.

http://www.gunpowder.freeserve.co.uk/wheels/index.htm Michael, I have also built a couple of wheel & pedal combos, although I don't have a digital image to share with you. I have found a great way to add "feel" to the brake pedal which inturn allows variable setup of the brakes. Quicker at the big tracks and slower for the more technical tracks. Plus a geardrive unit that makes the steering more accurate by over-driving the pot. BTW, which potentiometers do you use? Let me know if I can help you. DBH Michael Barlow wrote:

Hi David. I'm currently buliding my second wheel and pedal set. I'd be interested to learn more about your brake feel setup. One suggestion I've heard is using car hatchback suport struts. Is that what you use? Cheers, Glenn David B. Harrison wrote:
