I just got a logitec driving force steering wheel. Yea, so I'm sitting here doing the seattle enduro with the f090/s (I don't want to waste an hour of my life just to end up losing:( .) and I've notice that my arms are tired and my back is hurting like crazy. I just wanted to know how everyone else sets up their wheels.
 
Ill get some pics when i find someone/somewhere to hos my vids/pics
 
well, u gotta get a desk or something, holdin the wheel in ur lap sucks, and is tiring!!!! if ur not holding the wheel in ur lap, then ur probably just outa shape or u got a crappy chair;)

hmm... squash ball under the wheel..... never thought of that.
 
I dont have an Hardcore setup but something me and my neighbor made,

(dont mind the black kid Its me trying to grow out a fro, aparently its not working that good:lol: )

Close up of my setup, Its just basically a lap attachment but way easier to use.
 
for some reason i pull the wheel towards me when i turn sometimes.. so i need a desk.. .and even then i still sometimes pull teh wheel off.
 
When I get my wheel I'm goin' straight to Wal-Mart and getting a $5 card table, that or another computer desk.
 
heres my uncomfortable setup.
 
your setup is not that bad...thats pretty much the same as mine, except its all on a 1 level desk, and my pedals are on the floor, and i have a pretty comfortable chair.;) or is it that i just dont know what im missing. and i dont have to look up to see my monitor because it's just slightly below my head.
 
Put them pedals on the floor, unless you are a small child?
 
yeah, why the heck are your pedals not on the floor? is it because u dont have room? i have mine under my desk in front of a heavy cardboard box to hold em still
 
I have reasons for the pedals in the cabinet.
1: I may be 17, but I'm not the biggest kid around.
2: I used to race go karts when i was younger, so I'm kind of used to being scrunched up when i drive.
3: It stores very nicely
4: You can't tell from the picture, but that's a damn tall chair. As I sit in it right now, my feet are dangling, haha.
 
You're doing an enduro? Well of course your back and arms are gonna hurt! My thumbs hurt after an enduro for KY's sake!
 
The main problem here, is that the steering wheel is too high, I think. Its like a bus or something.(And I HATE buses.....grrrrr)What i want is a actual car seat with some sort of apparatus to simulate the way a real car feels.
 
The only solution I see from that picture is a higher chair, either that or a new tv cabinet
