do any arcade pedals turn the pot 45 degrees or more?

[pocketbikez]

i just hooked up a happcontrols flat pedal with a 5k pot to a dual-strike joystick hack and i cant get games to go full speed. pole position maxes out at around 170mph. from idle to full throttle the pedal only turns the pot about 20 degrees. i maxed out the mame analog settings but nothing works. it looks like i need a pedal that will turn the potentiometer at least 45 degrees.

if anyone has some arcade pedals sitting around please check em out and see if any turn the pot about 45 degrees. maybe a pole position pedal or something like it.

thanks.

If your pedal only travels 20 degrees, you can still use a pot that has a travel of 45 degrees (a 1/4 pot), you just need one that would register 5K at 20 degrees.  Doing the math that works out to a 22.5K 1/4 pot (don't know if such a thing exists or not, but a 20K pot might be close enough).  

Another option would be using a gear set that would yeild a turn of 45 degrees on the smaller gear for every 20 degrees turn on the larger wheel.  The larger wheel would need 4.5 times as many teeth as there are on the smaller wheel.

Hope that helps.

I used a Virtua Racing gas/brake pedal set on my driving cabinet and I believe they had 5K pots and I wired them up to a Dual Strike controller andthey work fine.   Dont really know how much the pots turn when I push the pedals, but the gas pedal can be pressed much father than the brake pedal.  The brake pedal hardly moves when you press it (maybe about 1" only).   Although both pedals work fine in Mame32.

ok i figured it out. in the dual-strike software there is a setup feature that lets you set the range of motion for each joystick axis. i lowered the gas pedal axis and presto! pedal to the metal pole position action. this arcade building stuff is fun!

thanks for the tips
