Thanks :)

As for a wheel, I got a nice set of supersprint ones off ebay. But if you want to build your own... there are so many ways to do it.

If you are looking to save $... you could always use a precut circle of wood as the wheel.
Or even a mini-wheel from a toy. I saw a plastic wheel for an outdoor playset available in chase pitkin.
Could get a shaft that is threaded but also fits inside rollerblade bearings for a nice smooth spin. Use mouse optics for the sensor.

Being that there are 2 types of wheels... I would choose to build one that goes all 360 degrees arround. That would work with all games...vs only some of the others.

If you hadnt seen my panel in progress (some parts are being rebuilt currently)... here it is:

: Brilliant. All I need now is a decent wheel. What did you do for this & how well does it work. Do different games need different types of wheel (would wnat to play Roadblasters, Chase HQ & Outrun).

: Thanks
