I'm selling my Team ARC pedals if anyone here is interested. They were purchased in 2013 for $1375. I'm selling for $800 plus shipping and PP fee. They are excellent pedals that are highly adjustable. Pedal plate included.

Why are you selling the ARCs? I'm sure you will find a buyer.

There's SO much good stuff out there, right now.

Well, since we're at it. Anyone have a custom wheel they want to show off?

I sold my F1 wheel as I never race open wheelers. I have an idea for a new custom wheel, but I have not taken action yet. May just get some paddles to add to my Momo Mod30.

I have a custom wheel from Sam Maxwell . Momo 27c with button plate and paddle shifters. I'll post a picture later.

I have a Sam Maxwell wheel in the process of being assembled now It's a race to see what gets here first - the wheel, or my Joe Sullivan OSW.

Which OSW did you go with Mige or Lenze? Joe is an awesome guy.

Peter, what's your recommendation? Add the DIY perfect pedal to an existing G27 pedal set, or buy the Clubsport V3 set? Both seem to be the same price (if you buy the Bodner cable).

If you're a four-way shock kind of guy, and like messing around with the adjustments, buy the V3 set. That's what I am coming to grips with now on a set I bought some time ago but are only now putting into service. Jury is still out. I don't have the damper (and I would NOT put the throttle damper on this set).

If not, you just want to get in and drive, buy the DIY Perfect Pedal, the Bodnar cable and take a little fluid out of it. I have been using this setup (and sold two or three dozen to other folks) for years, even with the modded G27, a Fanatec Club Sport Wheel Base and an ECCI wheel and have always been happy. I had ONE begin to leak a little, and Gary fixed it several years later, no charge.

To me, the brake pedal feel is everything, because that's the hardest skill execution IN THE SIM, IMO. I would like to try the HE pedals again (tried some early stuff a long time ago) and the HPP's, sometime.

Small Mige with the new SimuCUBE controller setup.

I sent him a deposit 6 weeks ago, he said it'd take 2-4 weeks. Poked him last week to see if I my wheel was gonna be done soon and all I got back was, "Yep!"

So... who knows. I'm not worried, he's got a good rep. I'm also not in a hurry... I'm behind on my cockpit project and don't really have anything good to mount the OSW to anyways. Just a little strange with the lack of communication.

Well if you're ever in the Chicago area you're welcome to give my HE's a try I spent a little time futzing with bumper and software config/calibration and they feel incredible once set up right.

Thanks Peter. In a real car, I love the tuning... but I jump in my "sim" maybe once a month (essentially a G27 on a wheelstandpro), and don't want to bother with adjustments and tweeking. I think i'll go with the perfect pedal. Just got on iracing after about a year (since I sold my SPB to Scott )... took a while for all the updates. To my surprise, Nurburgring was now available. Holy cow... that track is nuts. New item now on my track bucket list.

Glad to help. You'll like it because it makes it "feel right." No more driving in your socks!
