Post by: Franco on July 13, 2005, 11:30:45 am: I like the fact that you can by a steering wheel to fix onto the spinner. Cool idea.

If someone has tried one of these it would be nice to know what they are like.

Post by: pointdablame on July 13, 2005, 11:50:15 am: I have one... they work decently enough. It has next to no spin time however. Most games are playable with it and it works decently as a make-shift wheel for driving games.

I put it on my bartop, but if you are REALLY into any spinner games, you're better off getting a "real" spinner from SlikStik or Oscar. If you only play spinner games on rare occasions, it'll probably do.... if you plan on using a spinner a lot, I'd opt for something else.

Post by: Goz on July 13, 2005, 11:50:41 am: I have tried one of these in the past. They are a decent spinner for the $. They do not have good spin time for a frenzied Tempest game. They are adequate though for using as a spinner or a 270 wheel.

Championship Sprint was very playable with the one I had.

Championship Sprint is a 360

Post by: Stobe on July 13, 2005, 01:55:50 pm: I got one a long time ago and have yet to hook it up.

The only thing I'd like to add is the size of the steering wheel. Grab a ruler and look at what 7.5" is. It's smaller than the palm of your hand. Looks bigger on the pic they have.

I don't need 3 spinners. I've got the machine in the garage. ;)
