Steering Wheel price

Just got Nascar 2 and it sucks using the keyboard. So I need to find a steering wheel setup with brake and gas pedals. Any recommendations? -- Greg Ottria KE6PTP Castro Valley California http://home.inreach.com/gottria/sony

For an entry level wheel and pedals, the Thrustmaster Nascar Pro is hard to beat. Check it out at www.thrustmaster.com You can pick one up at a Best Buy or CompUsa cheaper than ordering direct. If your serious about sim racing, and are convinced you are going to stick with it, check out both the TSW and TSW2 at http://soli.inav.net/~thomas/ The TSW2 is cheaper than the TSW, I recently upgraded to the TSW2 and love it. -- Don Burnette I-65 Racing Dburn on Ten AOLL Iroc Series Administrator http://pages.southtech.net/palmetto/aoll.htm >Just got Nascar 2 and it sucks using the keyboard.

>Just got Nascar 2 and it sucks using the keyboard. So I need to find a >steering wheel setup with brake and gas pedals. Any recommendations? If you can still find a Thrustmaster GP1, it's a good starter. But I believe they are discontinued. CompUSA had them about 6 weeks back for $0 (yes, free) after rebate. I actually prefer using a quality joystick (I have a CH F16 Combatstick) and separate set of pedals (CH Pro Pedals). CH also has a steering wheel, but it's only for those who don't like a lot of resistance. But I bet it has a better on-center than the TM wheels. It's about $60 or so. You can find the non-Pro pedals for what, another $45 or so? Still, cheaper wheel/pedal combos can be found, like Interact's. For perhaps $50-60.

I think that for price as a beginner you can't beat the TM GP1. You can pick them up for next to nothing and although they are built inexpensively it would be a good way to start. If you take sim racing seriously then you will probably want a better unit eventually. Check the link below to get an idea.

HIYA GREG, You have three ways to go price wise, 1 Thrustmaster Products, 2 TSW2 made by THOMAS ENTERPRISES, or 3 ECCI Products. The TM will cost anywhere from $50.00 up to $120.00 are so. The TSW2 starts at $220.00 up to $750.00 are so you can look at them at www.tsw2.com The ECCI starts at $800.00 and goes up to $1500.00 are so. I do not know the URL for TM or ECCI, I hope this helps you out. Bob Hawkins

Here is another. V3 InterAct for approximately $60. It works great.

> For an entry level wheel and pedals... I'd definitely recommend the ACT Labs RS for an entry level wheel. The price is $70 and the quality is excellent.

Check it out at: I've been using an ACT RS wheel/pedal combo at work for a few days, and I'm impressed so far... I don't know how it'll hold up over the long haul, but it definitely is MUCH nicer than I'd have expected for a $70 wheel. Trips
