Steering Wheel
#387312 - 07/30/20 03:00 PM


Hey guys, does it make sense to get a spinner and attach any steering wheel to it for a 360 degree wheel? For games like super sprint?

It makes perfect sense. One of the main reasons I bought a 3D printer was to do that every thing. The wheels you find for purchase are usually pretty small. There is a Go Kart steering wheel on Thingiverse that would be PERFECT.

Cool! So you can make that with your 3D printer? That's awesome!

Ah, the many uses of go-kart parts. I had to buy go-kart axle bearings to make my water wheels.

I vaguely remember a time when I was building my cab years ago, I ran across a spinner that allowed you to attach a mini steering wheel. Ah yes, I found it...

I don't know anything about it, but I would think that you would have to adjust the sensitivity of the spinner to make up for the diameter of the wheel.
Instead, I opted for the popular (at the time) Tornado spinner. I am still able to use the spinner for 360 games like Pole Position and Sprint, and even though it isn't the exact controls (i.e. an actual wheel), it is a compromise with space on the CP.

I have the TurboTwist 2 spinner seen in the video below and like it. I hope to get one of the small steering wheel attachments for it someday just for giggles.

I saw that they had a small steering wheel...why not full / regular size??? Do you think the small wheel would play well?

I suspect they worry a large/heavy wheel would put extra stress on the spinner axle.
