Smartwheel connections

Hi all,

I was lucky enough to buy a new Smartwheel steering wheel on Ebay for 55$. Folks at MCI tell me it's worth 550$. The only thing is that I don't know how to connect it. I'd like to use it to control my new King Control cruise. I was told you need some kind of wheel.

Could someone clarify that for me? It would be a lot of fun to be able to combine the both.

Thanks!

Pat

Pat, I never could make mine work with my King Cruise,please post if you figure how to do that and I may give it another try, downloads are available from www.vipwheels.com but my under standing is it is made for electronic engine good luck

Pat that is great! In fact, I will help you and your bus project out a little. I will "kindly" "help" you sell your new steering wheel for 75

. That way you can have more money to build your bus with

Really though that is a great deal. We could use one of those, and I think that the cruise would work on it too since we have a S60.

Clifford, I haven't gotten the EHP yet. Is it shipped?

God bless,

John

It shipped John, the address you gave me were drop boxes 53 miles round trip in 115 degree weather you owe me big time LOL.
John I paid 200 bucks for my wheel new from Eagle and seen them at truck dealers on sale for 125.00.
If I can not get mine to work will make you a deal on one been working on mine for year and I get ticked off and take it off fwiw it is off now.

good luck

Aaaaawwwww, I am sorry Clifford. If you would have told me that they were so far away, I think I could have probably found you closer ones. I do owe you

. Really though, I thought the ones that I sent you in relation to the address that you gave me, were pretty close...Hmmmmm....I wonder what happened.

Again, I am sorry that it was such a hassle for you. You are probably still cooling off.

Let me know about the wheel...

God bless,

John

Most smart wheels have a multiplexing control box that goes with it. The controls on the wheel just produce a tone that is picked up by the multiplexing controller and then the controller figures out which circuit to activate. Good Luck, TomC
