Hey, im looking for a decent PC steering wheel for under R500. I heard the logitech momo is really good. Does any one want to get rid of theirs? Not too keen on the logitech formula force and those older models. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
 
The Momo is pretty decent, used one for years. Driving Force GT is better but probably more expensive (up to 900 degree wheel rotation, Momo is only 240 or so).

If you're going to really get into sim racing though, a G27 is the best price-performance ratio, any higher and you get the crazy really expensive stuff.
Way over your R500 budget but wanted to mention it in case you're considering.

:wtf: not gonna happen unfortunately. The cheapest decent one is the Logitech Driving Force GT, and that's about R1300-R1500. The G27 and such are over R3k. The only ones you'll find for under a grand are the Genius or no-name Fong Kong stuff that won't work properly, and break pretty easily.

Agreed. Don't buy a cheap wheel brand new. There's someone on Carbonite.co.za right now that has a feeler out for a Momo wheel that he's selling. Maybe you should make him an offer.

I had a Momo, tried to sell it here for R500, didn't work, so I gave it to a friend whos really enjoying it. I bought G27 for R3500 and its better than a Momo but its not R3000 better.

Well im definitely not looking for any thing first hand. I wish money was no object, that G27 looks soooo amazing! :(
 
I too am looking for one under R500. Doesnt have to be brand new, 2nd hand will do. Pm me please, Cape Town area only
 
I bought a Logitech Driving Force Pro(old version) for R400 on Gumtree :D , and I cannot think of anything else you might require. Has a load of buttons, is accurate and has its own clamps. I strongly recommend it.

Gumtree. It just started making this rattling sound every time you turn the steering wheel in dirt 3. eish... :(

Sounds like the vibrating mechanism is loose or something.

Permission to say c*ck :wtf:

At what percentage is your feedback settings in the Logitech Profiler? I'm thinking that maybe it's just set too high.

EDIT: If I were you, I would turn it(FFB) off totally and see if it still does it, then you will know for certain.
 
The wheel is definitely f#cked. However, I have contacted logitech support, I see no reason why they cant swap it out for me. They have told me its under warranty, I just cant supply them with an invoice/proof or purchase seen as I got it second hand. Surely they should still be obliged to help? Other than that, the people I bought it from seem friendly enough, and have offered me a three month warranty when I first got the thing. If worst comes to worst, Ill return it and ask for my money back.
