Title: Easy 360 Wheel?
Post by: Chazz on June 01, 2004, 01:08:08 pm

Is there a easy way to get a 360 wheel for my cab?  Right now I have a 270 wheel, but I wanna play some Super Sprint and such.  Is there a wheel I can buy that would give me the same smooth action that was on the orginal cabs without having to build a wheel from a spinner?

 Get a pole position wheel assembly from ebay, they are pretty cheap. Then go to Oscarcontrols and get a optic board and mouse hack. You simply replace the pole position optic board with oscars and plug in the mouse hack and thats it. mine works bitchin and was really cheap to do.

I haven't done mine yet but I don't think you even need the optic board - the original should work just fine (pls correct me if I'm wrong...).  The Oscar mouse hack is definately a good way to go tho, I have one of these just waiting to be connected up....
