Anybody know where I can find a racing game wheel with the gas and
brake on the steering wheel? I know somebody made a wheel like that
in the past. I need this for PC gaming.

Wow! Only $512.00!!!

Thrustmaster used to make a wheel that had analog padddle shifters that
could be used as brake and gas pedals. Think it was called a GP1 and was
gameport and not USB.

Yes, the Thrustmaster is what I have been using but the potentiometer
that controls the gas has gone flaky and I can't figure out how to get
in there to replace it. Anybody know where I can find instructions on
how to do that?

No, but I found one on eBay for only $24.95.

Start by removing The rubber feet and possibly labels to find the screws
and don't *force* anything. look before you pull. There's *always* screws
hidden.

You do have a 25-30 watt soldering iron, 60/40 solder and have soldered
electronics before right?

Use a ground strap just to be sure.

I am surprised Thomas is still around. Especially since they only support PC
games.
