RAM Controls - Star Wars Yoke

Which wires go to the pots and switches. I can see the wires on one of the pots, but the rest of the wires disappear inside the controller. Like I said, I can take it apart to figure it out, but I was just hoping someone here already had the information.

Sorry, I totally misunderstood your post.

Is the ram-controls website down or did he change names?

[Havok]

It was down, but it's back now. I don't see anything different.

Hey guys question...

Is the Road Blaster controller the same as the Star Wars yoke or is it just a left/right  steering controller and the grips are fixed mounted and don't have any up/down control?

I see on klov it says: Steering: X/Y-directional yoke with common triggers and thumb buttons.

It says the same thing under the Star Wars listing.  Reason I ask is I can get a Road Blaster control panel with the yoke for $65. 

If it's not the same is it something that can be converted?

Don't quote me on this - but I'm pretty sure theres no Y movement on a Road Blasters yoke, you can only steer it left and right. At least not that I remember, it's been a few years since I've seen one I could play!

Whether it could be modded, not sure... Looking at the schematics here suggests it might be tricky though:

Still a cool controller though. I'm planning to try Road Blasters when I get my Yoke from David too

I didn't think so either but wasn't sure, especially when klov listed it the same as the Star Wars yoke.

I agree, when David is finished that's the way to go.  The price on his website is $235 which really is more than fair.

I saw a used and really rough Turbo Sub for $275 (not an auction), and then the insane price West Controls is asking.  Actually I see David has a link to West Control.  I'd expect their prices to drop radically as soon as David is done.

I swore I rembembered Road Blasters had Y to turn the gun up into the air. But, no, I must've been thinking of something else. Also, the yoke is optical, so even more 'no'.

[wbassett]

I read on the Wiki that it doesn't, but then saw on klov that it does, that's why I was asking.

Nice on topic here guys

Sorry guys, I guess this was off topic for this thread.  I didn't mean to do that.

You know, as I was typing my last, I thought of STUN Runner, but didn't check. I'm not totally off-base, then.
