Anybody know where I can find a racing game wheel with the gas and brake on the steering wheel? I know somebody made a wheel like that in the past. I need this for PC gaming.

Yes, the Thrustmaster is what I have been using but the potentiometer that controls the gas has gone flaky and I can't figure out how to get in there to replace it. Anybody know where I can find instructions on how to do that?

Start by removing The rubber feet and possibly labels to find the screws and don't *force* anything. look before you pull. There's *always* screws hidden. You do have a 25-30 watt soldering iron, 60/40 solder and have soldered electronics before right? Use a ground strap just to be sure.
I am surprised Thomas is still around. Especially since they only support PC games. -- "Elmer Fudd" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7EpGm.2$[email hidden]... > Remco Moedt wrote: > >> http://tinyurl.com/ygrw5lz >> >> Cheers! >> >> Remco > > Wow!
