Anyone using a RoadBlasters yoke with your cab?

Hmmm...
If I left the optical stuff in place, and added a gear/potentiometer on the other side, could I somehow make this into a dual 270/360 wheel? Probably not because the restrictors keep it from being a true 360 wheel, and I need the restrictors for the 270..
I REALLY must learn to stay focused. :P

Maybe you can skip a 2nd gear completely and mount a pot in the center of that hole the wires come out of. A little gob of JB-Stik epoxy putty or similar should do it- then you just need to make a metal bracket to hold the other side of the pot still.

Okay, I'm finally going to give a go at making this Roadblasters yoke a 270 wheel. It's got the same 60 tooth gear that the Star Wars yoke has. Any ideas on how I figure out/calculate which gear I need to buy to "mate" with it for the potentiometer? Any suggestions on where to look online for gears? Thanks much! :cheers:

If it has the same tooth on the large gear as Starwars then you should be able to use the same size gear for the small one.

PoDunk, so if I found a small gear like the small gear on the Star Wars yoke, that should do the trick for a 270 pot?
