Squash Ball/Pedals Trick

Hey All, I've seen it mentioned before about using a squashball to increase the resistance on the brake pedal. What I can't remember is how many dots and what color dots should you buy. I picked up a single blue dot ball today and even though I haven't tried it while driving yet it doesn't seem to make much of a difference when I push down on my CHPedals brake.

gee Mike I will claim to be the one who popularized that trick, it's gotten very popular in the two years since I posted it here. Everybodys different, try several until you find the one you like. seeya on VROC Gman

Well amongst all the different solutions people have come up with, none of them really worked for me, the squash ball being one of the first, although a good idea. My solution to this problem was to remove the springs that came with the Logi pedals and attach both of them underneath the brake pedal. At first they kept moving forward and coming off as I pressed the pedal to the bottom. After I found a way to fix the springs onto the pedal (I used a couple of clips and 2 small screws inserted into the pedals) then it works a treat! And the springs get harder as you press further and it has made it much easier to know when the wheels are just about to lock. After a couple of weeks I found the springs too soft and I went after some better ones, I actually found a single one that does the trick (from a baby's toy) and next move is to actually put a small one on the accelerator. The only difficulty in this is to find a way to fix the spring/spings properly underneath the pedal, once that is done I don't think there is a better solution around in my view. Ok the CH Pedals have now a few holes drilled in but I dont really care what it looks like as long as it works efficiently and how I want it to. Mauricio.

Try a Nerf or a cheapo fake nerf ball... Chop it up to the size you want... Then ya GOT somethin'! Works great for me, even with Logi pedals Warlock!
