Got a dedicated exotica and the steering is going crazy when i start out the race. jerking all over the place. Did a calibration manual and with the game doing it. Didn't help. Thoughts?
 
the steering pot is bad. I know... had the same problem.

go back to the calibration part, watch the pot's value walk on its own. :)

Happ has replacements, just specify that it's for a Cruis'n Exotica so they can match it up for you. it'll be one of those black plastic jobs.

now this was before I knew what I was doing... the tech that helped replace this for me used to replace these in the game room he worked at and he had a little mod that kind of preserves the pot longer, I think you add a washer between the mounting bracket. I'll grab a pic sometime if I can.

Please do, I've had that exact issue with a number of pedal pots in our Rushes.
 
I'm not there now to tell you what it looks like, but I gather the washer is put in to alleviate some of the flex on the pot mounting bracket.

I'll grab a pic of it, the game's probably due for a monitor cleaning anyway. we got the giant deluxe model... monitor attracts a lot of dust, and I have to open the whole thing up to get at the car hood-like glass. lol
