Thrustmaster Steering Wheel
« on: October 23, 2003, 02:38:19 pm »
I just got my Thrustmast bike handle bars from Eagle Computer.  Computergeeks.com also has them for under $20.  They play all of the motorcycle games just fine and do great with Paperboy!  I haven't seen anyone else mention it before so I thought I would point it out.

They are too small to sit on for an "adult", but you can get by.  I plan on using them as remopvable attachments to my 1-up inspired rotating CP.

Have Fun,
Fogman ;)

Cool :)

How 'rugged' are they?

They're fairly rugged... they have a removable "seat" section.  When you take it off, it can be clamped on a table top.  both brakes are independent pots, there is the accelerator of course, 12 buttons, a high hat (!) and  you can switch between GP and Cross mode, which changes the steering from tilting the handle bars instead of turning them.   It feel rugged enough, and for $15-$20, I think it was worth it.  I could take pictures and post them, if anyone is interested.

For the price, even as a novelty for Paperboy and Enduro, its worth it.

Let me know if you have any other questions

I'd buy one for sure if I could find one in the UK.  thrustmaster.co.uk don't seem to want anyone to buy them!  :(
