yeah looks. the fixed paddles are cool, but i already could see me get hurt while drifting.
Would be awesome if you can adjsut a bit of a degree to the inverted pedals

1080° is cool (first wheel?), but 900° is more than ok, alot of people moan already that 900 is too much lol.

Waiting for the reviews now....

Good point.
Maybe there's a "panic button" on the back of the unit which immediately stops force feedback?
It seems its motor(s?) is strong enough to be actually dangerous.

1080 degrees means that the steering lock of pretty much any vehicle can be simulated.
Old cars without power steering, even sports ones, often had a high steering ratio to compensate the heavy steering caused by wide tires or large load on the front axle.

panic button for win!! LOL or an auto pilot button like knight rider

if i'm not mistaken every road car has 1080°??
1 +1/2 turn each side or is it 1 +1/4 turn.?
I need to check that out tomorrow. it's a bit too late and freezy to get out now + my Bob needs monitoring or he will die, he should have choosen a different career

- Most passenger cars with power assisted steering cars have around 1000-1080 degrees of total steering wheel angle (2.75-3 steering wheel turns). Sometimes a bit less.
- Sports cars might have less, usually anything between 720 and 900 degrees (2-2.5 turns)
- SUVs, minivans, MPVs, trucks, etc, usually have more than 1080 degrees (3 turns)
- Vehicles without power assisted steering have usually a larger total angle compared to the same models which have it.
