Does anybody have experience with the Thrustmaster T3 steering wheel. ( Nascar Steering wheel in the USA). The T2 has a lot of problems with broken springs or dameged pots. How was with the T3. How is the handling?

I got the Nascar Pro wheel & pedals on the weekend. But I'm taking it back for a refund this coming weekend. The Wheel was very good indeed. Much better than previous TM efforts. The shifter was also very good (Although I prefer using the Pro's wheel mounted buttons for this). What kills this unit is the Pedals. They look good but work like shit. They are vertical and require heavy pressure. It wears out your legs in 10 seconds. The pedals will not stay planted so you must nail them to the floor. The angle of your feet on the pedals means you either have to sit with your ass on the floor or become double jointed. Although it does not feature resistance like the N3. (and you may well like to have resistance), the new CH Racing wheel works wonderfully, with better on wheel shifting and smooth precise steering. Nothing compares to CH Pedals. The only thing to watch for with CH pedals is that mine do not support use on Joystick A. I am not sure if the newer CH pedals offer this feature which can be needed on games which do not provide 4 axis controller support. I hope this helps you John Cookson
