Yeah, it is fun to drive around with, but isnt practical. I need to find a way to wire in the foot pedals. I will probably end up getting an arduino mini and wiring that in. (after writing the code and testing with my normal arduino). Just a fun little side project that only cost me $4 (including foot pedals, not used yet). I had everything else lying around. It will be fun to use with vrc as well. But I have a problem with my pc right now that causes it to crash with vrc (I may have done a little bit to much spring cleaning on my hdd and wiped out a few windows files it relies on). More of a fun thing to make and play with. It will be interesting if anyone can manage to use it at the track. (probably after I wire in the foot pedals) it is SUPER easy to bump the throttle and send the car much faster than you intend it to go. I know it looks sideways (and it is) but that is an easy fix. I just need to get around to doing it. The wheel functions properly and everything, really it is just cosmetic that the wheel is turned sideways. But I will set it straight tomorrow or the next day.
