Im currently in the middle of buying the trackstar pedals and wondered if anyone is using them with a dfp.
when scott got his they kept on locking up with the wheel after an hour or so and i just want to know if anyone else has had this problem and if i need to buy the usb cable for it to work properly

thanks for your help, i cant wait until i can join this club :)

If I where to do it again, I'd buy the hdusb hub. I own the red momo and the ecci pedals that go with the momo wheel. With the usb hub, there is alot more room and less wires. A few guys I know bought the same pedals, then upgraded and they say there is no comparison. Spend the extra $100 or so.

I have the HD USB pedals with a DFP wheel . I originally had the Logitech pedals with my DFP and upgraded. I have also added a clutch and the Race Brake 2 kit. I haven't had any issues with them whatsoever.

I have the trackstar 6000 pedals with DFP and I'm not using the hdusb hub. I've got the stock DFP connector on the gas/brake and using usb for the clutch. I have not had any issues whatsoever when the pots are in good shape. I find I have to change the gas & brake pots twice a year. I heard the usb pots are a bit better and do not require as frequent changes and are a bit more accurate. I will likely change to the hdusb hub when my last batch of pots runs dry.

Lol, yeah the kid gets £80 for his birthday and suddenly thinks he's Rockefeller ;-)

Mike, I'm suprised to hear you have to change your pots twice a year. I've had the HDUSB version for 2 and a half years now and haven't had any issues with my pots. Based on that the HDUSB addon may even be cost effective!

"Lol, yeah the kid gets £80 for his birthday and suddenly thinks he's Rockefeller ;-)"

yeah £80... oh and that £120 worth G25 that being sold :P
80 + 120 = enough

thanks a lot for you help, ive decided to spend the extra £10 and get it rather than pay £50 - £100 on getting it shipped here if it doesnt work.

Ray, I went to install the HD USB conversion on my Trackstar 6000 pedals and DFP, but I didn't realize till almost done that the connector to the DFP wheel is 7 pins. The HD USB kit I received has 9 pins. I have PMB2 and clutch.

How many pins on the serial connector that connects to the DFP wheel?
