Hi there I have just got a new ACT LABS RS wheel and pedal set from Santa and the accelerator pedal is very sticky it some times sticks down and overall feels very unsmooth, has anyone else got this set and had the same trouble? would like to hear from you because I love the wheel just shame about the pedals.

In one of the reviews I saw, the reviewer said that putting some vaseline on the pedals got rid of the sticking. I agree about the pedals. Because of the stickiness and lack of split axis, I am using a set of homebuilt pedals with my RS wheel. If ACT Labs could make the pedals a hair smoother, and add split-axis capability, the RS would be perfect! -- ------------------------------------------------------ IMPACT Motorsports http://www.impactmotorsports.com/pd.html ------------------------------------------------------

Just to follow up - I got this email from cuffy, who had good luck with the vaseline tip. He had originally asked the question about sticking RS pedals. Hope he doesn't mind me posting it!
