All driving games can also be played with a spinner.

Old thread, sorry to resurrect but I was wondering if anyone thought it would be possible to replace one of the tankstick fire-buttons with a spinner?  I don't want to drill as my carpnter skills are terrible LOL...
severdhed:
sure...the turbotwist 2 spinner from groovygamegear will fit right in a standard button hole. 

but just be aware, if you were to get a 1 1/8" forstner bit, drilling an extra hole is pretty simple (just make sure there is nothing underneath that location you could destroy

Wow, cool, thanks severdhed for the fast reply.  I could put one in there (spinner) and if it's uncomfortable I can always do what you said regarding making a hole with a 1 1/8" bit.   Being it's going to be plugged into the tankstick could I get the slave version?  I'm really new at this so sorry if this has been answered a 100 times already LOL...

I'm probably pushing my luck but do you know how the groovygamegear steering wheels work with mame?  I'm thinking pole position and super spint.  I think a read a review of them and it seems you can just pop it on and off the spinner.   Again, sorry if this has been asked and answered a 100 times already...

THANKS A WHOLE LOT!!!

I replaced my 2-Player button on my Tankstick with a USB SpinTrak (Ultimarc) with the small fly-weight. It fits fine.
