Hi guys, I'm sure this question has been asked before but what's the best choice for a force feedback wheel/pedal set up in the $300-500 range, I was planning to go with the Logitech 920 but wanted to see if there's a better choice out there in that price range.

Thanks

I found this site to be very helpful when trying to figure out the right equipment:

It's a shame that Fanatec doesn't have a more entry level wheel anymore. I'd like to get a new wheel to use for Xbox one but I can't stomach the Fanatec price.

Thanks guys, I was checking out the mockracer site and stumbled on the Fanatec CSL set up that's complete with wheel, wheel base, pedals, shifter, etc for $639. its at the top of my budget but might be worth a look. does anyone have any experience with this set up?

That looks like the newer version of my pedals, so I would highly recommend them. Hopefully someone with that setup will chime in. Otherwise check inside sim racing or the iracing forums for up to date information/reviews.

A lot of us run fanatec wheels, I'm just not sure if anyone has that specific one.

The Fanatec Elite line looks to be pretty good bang for the buck. Load cell pedals, and a wheel base that accepts the same wheels that are run on the ClubSport wheel.

For an all-in-one package, that looks like a winner to me.

I think my buddy Konrad is ordering one of the Elite wheels. He has an old set of ClubSport pedals already (not sure if v1 or v2). I hope to try it out whenever he gets it, just to compare.

I've been really happy with my ClubSport wheel... though I'm teetering on the idea of ponying up for the Bodnar wheel.

I have the same ClubSport wheel as Jim, I did upgrade from the GT3 wheel which I have setting on the shelf that would probably be willing to sell, if interested, just used it a year and a half I think.

So my racing season ended two weeks ago, anyone for a pick up race on Sunday?
Or better yet start a new season?

I got a request from someone who follows this forum to the rennlist team. I added him to the league and I was thinking we should get some races going again. I can't remember... did we want to go earlier or later with the time?

Why don't we just stick with what we did last time?

And go back to the RUF Track to keep it easier for everybody.
