I wonder about that too.... It looks good on paper but just how stable or wobbly would it be in use? Anyone out there tried this device yet, care to share your testimonial, was it really worth $180 ???? "Woodie83" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

You may find this one a bit more stable. https://hntrinit.hostingnorthwest.net/appieshop/index.cgi?hntrinitSTORE:CKIE:prodBRD077+ "Sales1 at Gamesteer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:41520e32$0$20581$[email hidden]...

Heck, With your feet "holding" the base down, unless your clowning around it should be pretty stable. personally Id mount it to plywood sheet, along with holes in that sheet to stop the chair I have from rolling :) "Jay J" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:omz4d.141142$3l3.108307@attbi_s03...

Not correct there woody ! The TSW2 weighs in at 25 pounds, the pro racer stand will easily support this weight. Hope this clears up any misconceptions about the durability of the pro racer stand. This issue about fitment of the clamping mechanism is the only factor you might need to take into account Regards sales1@gamesteer "Woodie83" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hi all As with anything unknown, it is difficult to establish, without using the stand, exaclty how it is likely to perform under "race" conditions. The inventor has made the device from heavy gague steel and it weighs in at around six kilograms, all this is an important part of his desire to have the stand stable during game play. The Pro Racer has been tested by both experienced and novice users to establish its performance in game play. One axis, namely the forward axis will lift up relatively easily. This has the advantage of being able to push the wheel forward, up and away from you as you get out of the chair. Lateral stability is excellent. Unlike some stands you don't have to get up off the floor when you are finished playing. Maybe the group would like to nominate a "Test Driver" or maybe even a "Crash Test Dummy" for that matter, haha. The person needs to be able to write a short review and post it to the group, so that we can all share in a independant viewpoint on the devices performance. We distribute from Australia so an Aussie tester would keep my shipping cost down for the test.

Judging from the picture. It looks like one of these could easily be made from some 1 1/2" or 2" PVC. It might cost almost $20-25. Thanks for the idea. I think I'll look into making one for myself. ZZ

Hi ZZ The weight is an important consideration in the stability. PVC would be too light to give you the stability you're after. PVC is also more flexible than the steel when under load, your device might end up looking similar but will not work the same. The six kg the device weighs is the minumum the inventor would permit because of the stability issue.

I'm quite prepared to do a detailed report. I live in Queensland and have been looking at getting a race frame but really wanted something portable. If that's AU$180 then it's actually not a bad deal.

Hi Steve Great to hear that you will take on the challenge. We need some independant thoughts on the device to lay to rest some of the obvious concerns with this type of device. Please reply direct to sales1@gamesteer detailing your correct email address (guessing that [email hidden] is not a goer) and a phone contact. I will send the Pro Racer steering wheel stand for your review and comments.

A mere 25 pounds might be okay, I avoided wheels with wood or plastic in them. 37 pounds, no clamping mechanism, and cats might make for a disaster. Don McCorkle

Is there a link somewhere to a picture of this thing? I've been to gamesteer.com and can't find anything.

Any guess as to how much it would cost to ship to the USA? Specifically Dallas, Texas. And... That $180 price tag, can I assume that it Australian dollars then? Thanks!
