ACT Labs Force RS Pedals MOD | ||||
One of the most important problems with the main wheel and pedals kits in the market are the lack of resistance feel in the pedals unlike the ones of a real car. In game simulations (not arcade) like Grand Prix Legends, Nascar Season 2002,... it's very difficult to avoid locking brakes or spinning wheels due a lack of a variable resistance. The easiest and cheapest solution is drive with bare feet. Without shoes your feet wheight less and you have better control of the car, but continues without a real feel. This mod is based on an Act Labs Force RS, but you can do it in your wheel with minor modifications.

First you need to uninstall
the suspension kit of one of your R/C car (as a car enthusiast obviously you
own more than one!), using the ones of the same (or a little more) lenght
of the travel of the pedals. I used a Tamiya electric R/C car shocks with
springs from a Kyosho fuel model. Put the "fat" springs in the brake and the
"thin" in the throttle. If you need strong resistance feel, you can put as
many "spacers" (the yellow thing in the right pic, really don't know the exact
word) you need.

First make a hole in the upper
part of the brake pedal and put a 3 cm screw to hold the shock in inverted
position. Be sure the screw is long enough to hold without moving, but you
can put a nut on each side of the plastic to hold it tight.
|
||
|
||
Repeat this procedure for the
throttle pedal, but notice that due to the shape of the rear part of the
plastic you can make a horizontal hole to attach the shock absorber.

Remeber that my first goal
is make a "cost zero" (or cheapest possible) and cool mod for my Force RS
Wheel.
