Are 4 spinners with attachable steering wheels too much for a regular 4P CP with 7 buttons for each?

To me, yes. Then again I think a 4P CP is too much. Also, you don't need 7 buttons for P3 and P4.

Yeah, I think it could be a bit too much. I just love games like Super Sprint and Offroad

I think I'll leave the 7 buttons for console games and such.

Not too many 4 spinner games, and the ones there are are usually cocktail: warlords, destruction derby, hot rod, & sprint 4 (and sprint 8 had

OTTOMH. And not much space to put them in working range and not too close to the joysticks (so you don't hit the sticks while using the wheels).

I prefer multiple or modular CPs, though. (I'm planning (still) a three 360 wheel CP to go with my other CPs, 5 ATM.)

OTOH, if you can find the space for three, and like offroad, super sprint, the above games, and can place the spinners so you could play tron and other joy+spinner games (that you like to play), I'd say go for it.

Yea I would made a seperate panel for the steering wheels, if you really want them!

If there's a driving game you REALLY need, I'd just buy it in dedicated form.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I think I'll forget the spinners for now. A separate CP might the best way to go.

4 trackballs (on the 4 player version of course).

Yup, which also was cocktail (or ITC dinner table) type cab. (Same with Atari soccer.)
