Retirement

Post by efgordon »

Its been a real good run over the last year or so, but its time to hang'em up!

Good Bye Nascar Thrushmaster!

better than the sidewinder, cheaper than the momo, and more reliable than boris on a road course. Many victories I owe to this wonderful sim racing wheel.

if it only had pedals that could take the heat!

thats right man, all you guys out there with all that expensive equipment must feel pretty bad right now looking at my setup! LOL

I can blow through the springs in the pedals of a new set in just a couple of months, and this most recent one i got was used, so i had to make some modifications. I went through 4 bands in the first half of the season until duct taped all the sharp edges. lol. As you can see, I only broke through 2 of the 4 over the 2nd half of the season.

see those long screws? they really dig down deap into the carpet to prevent slipage. slipage is bad!


The Thrustmaster is no longer available, unless I buy it used.

I've had my wheel since early 2001, and is working fine (I think). Pedals are really squeaky though.

Good luck on getting a new wheel, I guess the really good drivers wear them down pretty fast. :lol:
