Hi Name here is Sonny and just looking for advice on which wheel to buy and with the less problems. Please advise me in which wheel to purchase for Nascar 2. And is there much configuring to installing one. My computer knowledge is limited. Ha Ha.... Please e-mail me: Thanks and Happy New Year.
Well, others may have different opinions, but I have had a Thomas Super Wheel for over a year now, and it's great. I won't repeat what I have previously written about it, because my comments can be found at the TSW web page. It's at http://zeus.ia.net/~thomas/ Trevor Thomas is a frequent visitor to this Newsgroup, and I know that he'll help you out with any questions you may have. Calibrating the TSW is simple, because the computer sees it as a regular joystick. Maintenance is no big deal, because everything is accessible, and spare parts can be found at Radio Shack. Good Luck!

I'd advise to get Serpent Racing's Virtual R/C 1 (VRC-1). It plugs easily into all makes of R/C recievers (ground or air, it doesn't matter, Airtronics, Futaba, etc.--it has plugs for all of them.) Simply plug the VRC-1 into you receiver and use your transitter to control your game. The draw back of this is you have no way to shift. The positive side of it is if you race R/C cars, you can "stay in form" with stick time during the rainy, cold winters. I find it extremely useful. You can find Serpent's WWW page link on my home page in the hobby/computer section. --- () http://www.pacifier.com/~dtuso () Dominic Tuso () http://www.nicad.com/ () For you NiCd needs () http://www.teleport.com/~cramark () R/C car racing club () http://www.teleport.com/~lzwz/rcsr.htlml () R/C car racing club

A lot of guys say the Thrustmaster GP wheel is the ticket. Can't be very hard to set up (its a wheel only). Someone mentioned the TSW, but if you have that kind of bucks you might also want to check the GP500 (made in the UK I think, don't know the web address), or the ECCI CDS2 (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/extreme).
