Is the NASCAR pro wheel better than the T2? The T2 had a good feel
but you could wiggle the wheel like a loose tooth so I didn't keep it.
Any comments on other wheels are welcome. The Actlabs wheel looks good
but the price looks kind of low to be a high quality wheel. CH wheel
doesn't have tension so that's out. I have an F1 sim set and it
wiggles a lot and am giving up on trying to refurbish it.

There is alot more tension on the wheel of the NASCAR Pro. Not only is
there more resistance, it is progressive. The more you turn the wheel
the more effort it will take to turn. The upside of this is you will
have a finer control of your car in the turns. I found it too easy to
lose the rear-end with my T1 wheel. I also find the buttons located on
the wheel to be place right for me. Though others have found them to
hard to reach with their thumbs. However, if you are racing with your
hands at the 8:30 & 3:30 positions, I find the buttons quite
comfortable.
The biggest complaint so far has been directed at the pedal unit. Some
people are too used to the "non-tension" of their T1/T2 pedals and find
the pressure needed to use the pedals is too much. Again, I feel that
this makes for better control. The other complaint with the pedal unit
is that the angle of the pedals is too perpendicular. This produces
fatigue in the ankle area for most people. I've found that by plopping
the unit on an old (or new) issue of Computer Shopper, brings the pedals
up to a level where this is not a problem. For those who are unfamiliar
with the magazine Computer Shopper, it's about 12-1/2 inches x 9-3/4
inches x 1-3/4 inches (32 cm. x 24 cm. x 4.5 cm.).
The pedals can be switched to the same joystick as the wheel or
separate. When they are separate, the brake is on the same joystick as
the wheel, but different axis of course and the gas is on a separate
joystick. This produces even more control over accelaration and
braking, though it does take some getting used to.
