2.4 ADJUSTING PEDAL UNIT GEOMETRY
The 6000 Trackstar pedals offer a wide range of adjustments [Figure 16]:
1 Fore and aft adjustment. Pivots A & B must be loosened and the bolt at ‘A’ installed in
the desired stepped slot. The heel rest also rides in a horizontal slot allowing fine tuning
of its spacing to the pedals.
2 Vertical adjustment. The pedal frame can be raised and lowered in each stepped Pivot
A mounting slot to adjust the distance of the pedals from the heel rest. This
accommodates a wide range of user shoe sizes.
3 The angle of the pedal frame from vertical is the most important ergonomic adjustment.
A desktop setting will require a more canted geometry than a lay-down cockpit. Pedal
frame angle is changed by loosening Pivots A , B, & D, and sliding the rod assembly of
Pivot B along the adjustment slot until the desired angle is reached. All Pivots must be
tightened after such an adjustment. Next the heel rest should be adjusted in angle to
create a natural well for the driver’s heel.
4 Lateral pedal spacing is adjusted by loosening the two screws that hold the pedal pad to
the pedal arm. The pedal pads can slide laterally to the user’s preference. Make sure to
tighten the nuts firmly before using the pedals.
5 For those installing their controller in a tightly dimensioned cockpit… the Trackstar 6000
pedals can be reduced to only the pedal arm frame. When attached securely top and
bottom, the pedal arm frame can be used without the base to provide a minimally
intrusive installation. A special bracket for the top mount may need to be fabricated.
2.5 STABILIZING THE PEDAL UNIT
The PMBII ECCI also offers an accessory part which locks the pedals in a fixed relationship to
a driver’s seat. Called the “Instant Cockpit”, this is a telescoping t-bracket that locks the
pedal chassis to the base of any chair. It is particularly useful if you use a caster-type office
chair. It keeps the chair from rolling backward and the pedal unit from tipping forward when
high PMB settings are used. Visit the ECCI website accessories pages to order this
accessory.
3 STEERING RESISTANCE TUNING
3.1 THE MONOPOINT II SYSTEM
The Trackstar 6000 was designed to provide the serious competitor the ability to tune all
important steering feel characteristics to suit individual preference. The ECCI exclusive
MONOPOINT II cam resistance system [Figure 21] offers fine adjustment of four important
steering parameters:
1. Maximum steering resistance pressure - adjustable by changing the number of springs
used [Figure 22 and 24].
2. Steering centering pressure at the neutral position - adjustable by changing spring
preload [Figure 24].
3. Steering wheel lock - adjustable by changing positions of travel limiters [Figure 23].
4. Rotational damping - FLDS equipped units only. See Section 3.6 for more information.
