Good day, I am seriously considering the Act Labs Force Rs/clutch pedal/shifter package as a answer to my ancient Thrustmaster Nascar Pro many times rebuilt and patched together unit. I am looking for personel experience from folks. I have a 1Ghz system, 256 meg memory, 128 M Radeon 9200, SB live, W98SE. Thank you in advance. Steve

Can't comment on the pedals but there are lots complaining about they at the AL forum, but then again the people not having problems wouldn't complain now would they? ;-) The Force RS is not the wheel it once was. Appears they changed the cartridge design a couple years ago and the new one (v2.2) gives a very stepped output (about 100 points from lock to lock). Picked up v2.1 cartridge off ebay and it gives very smooth output (1024 points). With the 2.1 I'd have no problem recommending the wheel. It's fairly solid and has strong FF, and with AL you actually get technical support and replacement parts. Unfortunately they don't seem to produce any 2.1 cartridges now. If someone recommends the Force RS ask them what cartridge version or when they bought it (2.2s came out around July 2001). Just from lurking around here the original Logitech Momo seems to be the FF wheel of choice. Non-ff and no budget constraints then TSW, ECCI, etc are worth looking at. HTH Ken
