Ready to buy a Logitech DFP?
I bought a slim PS2 back when GT4 first came out JUST for that game. The Driving Force Pro wheel seemed cool but was far too expensive for just casual play at US$150 MSRP. Well I just upgraded to S2 license and after reading so many posts of people using the DFP with their PC and Wingman Team drivers I decided to look around for prices again. I'm happy to report that the Logitech Driving Force Pro can now be found for UNDER US$90 and less than $10 shipping. I don't know if it's acceptable to post where I bought it from but I can tell you it's a reputable dealer and they are in stock, which is more than I can say for a lot of places listing a higher price. I took the 3-day shipping option and received mine Friday 1/6 and WOW what a great product. I was using a twist handle joystick with S1 and that was kinda painful after a few laps.

Anyway if you couldn't swing $150 before, <$90 is probably good enough to make the purchase - at least it was for me. Go get em!
have fun with it m8 live for speed is so much better with a wheel momo red here and still going strong no pedal glitches no stearing faults lol touch wood
I just got mine a week ago, it's a great wheel. 720º gets tiring fast though. Have fun with it!
Yeah the prices are going down on dfp which is great, in any store they're selling them for 119 now so if you dont want to get them online and save shipping, its a good deal.
Four guys from the US, including me, out of 5 in this thread. I thought my buddy said he saw a DFP at Walmart for $70. That's what I paid for my Momo!

Nah, maybe not. Online at Walmart is $99.82 and it is sometimes cheaper than actual in-store price.
I'll give it a month, tops, before you're back on here complaining about the pedals going awol.
I bought it a year ago and everything is still working perfectly

Are they no good/not very durable then?

the Rev.B pedals are much better, my 3rd DFP now, and over a year without a problem.

How did they fix the problem then?

My £90 DFP is sat in the loft not being used because all the pedals do is spike all over the place. The wheels great, but the pedals i've got are useless atm.
When I started getting glitching I took the pedals apart, cleaned & greased everything, checked the pots were fully in, put it back together and they've worked spot on for the last few months. Logitech even sent me a whole new wheel/pedal set with express delivery when I made a fuss about it to them.

AFAIK they use metal pots now with rev.B... But I'm not sure...
anyone know how to check for rev A or rev B?
The only place its marked is on the bag the manual comes in..it'll say on the sticker that seals it. But if you open up the pedals, Rev A ones are all plastic while Rev B ones have metal pots..as far as I know? Both my Rev B pedal sets are all metal pots.

i bought my first DFP in march of 2005, since then i have had 2 more, all due to the pedal problems.

i recieved my latest one last thursday aswell, so i am hoping these ones will last me long enough so i can go purchase some FREX pedals

saying that though i love the wheel, it is byfar the best wheel i ever used. the rotation of the wheel just rocks

Because it didn't fix the problem. Both my sets have had trouble, which I have fixed as mentioned in my first post to this thread. They work spot on now but both sets after a week or so of use glitched that bad i could barely finish a race, I suspect one set was because the driver (not me) was very heavy footed, and the pots ended up a bit loose.
I just don't understand it...

I bought a DFP 6 months ago and I am not having any kind of problems. I always play without shoes, only socks or barefoot (it is 40ºC in Brazil right now), and the wheel and pedals are working flawlessly.

I hope I don't experience this problems, as I paid U$330 for the wheel (imported eletronics in Brazil are way too expensive...)
i wouldnt recommend opening your pedals to check.I just did that and now i cant get them back together. Going have to order a new set from logitech Marsden1002

I was wondering the same. If he's talking DFP, anyone know if Momo and DFP are as the same internally as they are externally? Because I've had to get inside my Momo pedals to fix a loose pot 10 minutes before a league race start and still made it to the grid. And now that I have the axis shaft tightened up with a wrap of tape and the pot secured more solidly, I haven't had one problem since.
yes, they are basically the same. the screws are a little different, i've heard there are more, the DFP has only 9.

i opened my first pedal set about 20 times! it's a little bit tricky to close it, but everyone with 2 hands (even with 2 left ones) should be able to do it
Enough of the DFP bashing already!!
I got the DFP 2 weeks after it's release so i'm pretty sure it's revision A pedals that i have. So far i have not had any trouble with the wheel what so ever.

You guys that give out about it must be slamming your feet on the thing. I think it's a great wheel and well worth its money.
DFP is for ps2 though, or Pc aswell.. well obviously it works with PC as you lot proved, but do you need an adapter of some sort?
i just aint got a clue how to get them back together, cant get the pedals back in the right place.Anyone help me. Im unsure where the srpings go or the pots
