Title: Getting back behind the wheel
Post by: isamu on June 17, 2016, 07:50:56 pm

I must say, feels good to be back actually *PLAYING* racing games again. Getting back into my rig after not even sitting in it for 3 years was a surreal experience. Life threw a lot of curve balls at me and but my passion for driving games never waivered. Anyway I'm the proud owner of a Bodnar wheel now, and have finally got my rig set up the way I like it.

Some pics:

The wheel second row and far right is an original Sega Outrun wheel. I'm desperately looking for a Sega Outrun 2 wheel but man are they hard to find!

As far as the Bodnar wheel goes, what can I say? I've already suffered my first wrist sprain from playing F-ZeroGX, and that's with the wheel at ONLY 20% strength!!!! So yeah, to say it's a dangerous monster that doesn't take kindly to spaghetti arms is an understatement. It will kick your ass if you disrespect it by treating it like a toy wheel. Don't buy one of these if you want to keep your wrists and arm sockets in tact  :lol When they say 26NM of torque, THEY MEAN IT!

Wow! That is quite the wheel collection! Impressive.  :applaud:  Did you add the buttons to the Momo in the top left on your own or did it come like that?

Thanks. The  buttons I added to it. It's a Martin Asher C20L Button plate. I have two of them and the other one's going on the butterfly Momo suede rim at the bottom left.
