1 WHEEL UNIT SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT
1.1 UNPACKING THE WHEEL UNIT
Before unpacking and setting up your driving system, prepare a clean area with adequate
room for laying out the components. Review the list of wheel unit parts [Figures 1a & 1b] and
verify that everything is present to complete assembly.
ECCI recommends keeping the original box and packing materials in case the unit needs to
be shipped in the future. If shipping is needed, the unit MUST be shipped partially
disassembled as originally received, or damage will result.
1.2 WHEEL MOUNTING BRACKET
Before starting, examine Figure 2 for how the wheel unit should appear when assembled. Lay
out the components in a sufficient well-lit workspace.
1 Set the main steering chassis on a table upside down on a terry cloth towel or other soft
non-abrasive cushioning material to avoid scratching the cover. If your unit has a Lexan
cover, keep the protective covering on until all assembly is finished.
2 Using a 3/16 inch hex wrench, loosen the two center-most chassis tube bolts [Figure 3].
Do not remove them; back them out until the nuts between the bolt tubes and the gray
central structural plate can be removed and discarded. Then re-install the two bolts about
one turn and leave them loose.
3 Invert the table bracket assembly towards the central chassis structural plate and align
the two central slots with the previously loosened chassis-tube bolts [Figure 3]. The table
bracket should be seated between the spacer tubes and the main chassis structural plate.
4 Using a 1/8 inch hex wrench, attach the mounting bracket with the 3 supplied bracket
mount screws and nuts [Figure 3]. After tightening these screws, turn the two center-most
chassis bolts until tight, fully securing the mounting bracket to the main chassis plate.
5 Turn the unit upright and secure to a tabletop edge using the clamp of the mounting
bracket [Figure 4]. Note that it is possible to adjust the angle of the unit by adjusting the
height of the rear wheel mounting bracket. Rotate the bracket tensioning bolt [Figure 2]
until it is perpendicular to the underside of your mounting surface. Turn until it contacts
the underside of the surface. Do not over tighten. Turn till finger-tight and then using a
wrench, turn one-half turn more. Then lock the bracket by tightening the pivot set screw.
1.3 STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY
1 With the wheel unit upright and secured to the tabletop the steering wheel and shift
paddles can be mounted. Prior to assembly inspect the shift paddle set [Figure 5b]. Note
the importance of the two wire management slots at the back side of the paddles. These
slots accommodate the button wiring when the paddle/wheel assembly is tightened down
to the steering unit hub. It is critical that the wires pass through these slots and avoid
getting pinched during assembly.
(For Momo Corse wheel skip to step 5): Remove the wheel attachment screws from the
paddle set. Discard the small nuts that held them at the back of the assembly. From front to
back, the screws will pass through the steering wheel, optional wheel spacer (if supplied), the
shift paddle assembly, and into the threaded holes in the hub. Begin

assembly by putting two screws through the steering wheel at the ten and two o’clock
position. Hold the heads in place on the wheel with a piece of masking tape. Note that the
flanged button retaining ring must be placed between the steering wheel and the shift
paddle set. The raised flange of this ring must point towards and fit into the large central
hole in the paddle set. Place the paddle set over the screws making sure the button wires
are in their slots. Once the paddles are close to the wheel, pull the paddle set wires
towards you through the center hole of the wheel.
3 Next position this assembly over the steering unit hub making sure the wheel is upright.
Guide the two screws into their respective holes. Pull the hub wires and connectors
towards you through the center of the wheel/paddle assembly. Next remove the masking
tape and turn the screws in gently making sure before tightening that the paddle button
wires are not in danger of being pinched. The wheel should be centered and not cocked
to one side. If it is tilted, remove the screws and use the next set of hub holes to counter
the tilt. Turn the screws in until snug. Then install the remaining three screws and finally
tighten all five screws progressively using the supplied hex wrench until tight.
4 Connect the button wires to the hub connectors as shown in Figure 5a. Wire colors do not
matter, the paddles will function any way they are plugged in. Carefully arrange the wires
within the hub cavity such that none are pinched when the center logo button is installed.
The center logo button is installed by engaging the four prongs of the button through the
button retaining ring that sits behind the wheel. Push the button firmly until flush.
5 Momo wheel only: Remove and discard the nuts from the five black wheel attachment
screws. Place the paddle set only over the holes in the steering hub. Once the paddles
are close to the wheel, pull the hub and paddle set wires towards you through the center
hole of the wheel. Tighten the five black mounting screws.
6 Connect the button wires to the hub connectors as shown in Figure 5a. Wire colors do not
matter, the paddles will function any way they are plugged in. Carefully arrange the wires
within the hub cavity such that none are pinched when the MOMO wheel is installed.
7 Locate the four screws that mount the wheel. Pass them first through the E-logo plate and
then through the holes in the wheel. Attach to the paddle set and tighten.
8 If you have a Lexan cover, you can now remove the protective covering. First loosen the
cover mounting screws ½ turn. Do not pull the covering straight out, carefully pull the
covering by pulling slowly parallel and close to the cover until it is removed. Then re-
tighten the cover screws.
1.4 WHEEL ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The final step of wheel unit setup is to adjust the angle of the steering wheel to your
preference. This is done by loosening the rear leg screws [Figure 4] until the rear leg can be
moved up or down. Making this adjustment will also require loosening the bracket tensioning
bolt under the mounting surface [See Figures 2 & 4].
The tensioning bolt and the rear leg puts pressure from bottom and top to hold the unit
securely to the mounting service. To tilt the wheel more towards vertical, the rear leg must be
extended downward and the bracket bolt must be backed down. To tilt the wheel more
forward the rear leg must be raised and the bracket bolt extended.

If a substantial change of wheel mounting angle is desired, it will be necessary to loosen the
pivot set screw and the tensioning pivot nut [Figures 2 & 4]. For proper performance of the
mounting system, the bracket tensioning bolt must be vertical and perpendicular to the
underside of the mounting surface.
1.5 COCKPIT MOUNTING
In addition to removable desktop mounting, the TRACKSTAR 6000 wheel unit is easily
adapted to a custom driving cockpit. When attaching the unit permanently to a fixed
framework, the table mounting bracket need not be used. The unit can be mounted directly to
the cockpit sub-frame in its upright orientation or inverted under a monitor shelf. Another
option is ECCI’s cockpit bracket available as an accessory. See ECCI’s website for ordering.
2 PEDAL UNIT ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
2.1 ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE
1 Prepare a clean well lit area with adequate room for laying out the pedal components
[Figure 8]. In addition to the supplied hex keys you will need a pair of ½ inch open end
wrenches to complete assembly. The pedal unit is shipped in two components; the base
and the pedal frame assembly. Study the side view illustration of the assembled pedal
unit [Figure 9] before proceeding. If you have purchased a clutch pedal, refer to the clutch
installation instructions first, for they supersede the following steps.
2 In the pedal base assembly, locate the two silver diagonal struts. Remove the two bolts
holding these struts nearest the heel rest. Leave the rear bolt in place. Rotate these struts
vertically until they are tilted towards the rear of the base [Figure 10].
3 Retrieve the 6 inch long 5/16 diameter threaded rod and related nuts from the hardware
kit supplied with the pedal unit. This rod will be used to attach the pedal frame assembly
to the base at Pivot A as shown in Figure 10. Note that there are four vertical slots for this
attachment. These are used to offer a variety of positions fore-to-aft of the pedal relative
to the heel rest. If initial use will be at a typical desktop workstation, select the second slot
from the front of the unit. If initial use will be in a low-slung cockpit situation, then select a
slot further to the rear. In any case, after initial setup is completed, this position can be
changed without disassembly of the entire pedal unit.
4 Position the pedal frame vertically with its mounting holes aligned with the chosen slot in
the base unit [Figure 10, step 1].
5 Guide one end of the threaded rod through one side of the base and frame holes. Before
passing through the holes in the opposite side, twist two nuts onto the threaded rod.
Guide the rod through the opposite side holes and twist the nuts apart so they contact the
two sides of the pedal frame [Figure 11 step 2]. Makes sure the rod is centered in the
frame. Turn the nuts no more than finger-tight.
6 Place the two washers and remaining two nuts onto the threaded rod [Figure 11 step 3].
Turn the nuts down finger-tight to the frame.
7 Note that each Pivot A base mounting slot has three notched positions. These are to
adjust the vertical position of the pedals relative to the heel rest. Select the middle notch
to start with and set the threaded rod into the same position on both sides. This

8 Next pivot the diagonal struts forward [Figure 10 step 2] and align their holes with those in
the pedal frame. The pedal frame and the struts will form a triangle. Insert the bolts at
Pivot D [Figure 12] on each side. Make sure to insert the spacer washers between the
strut and the pedal frame as shown. Turn finger tight, then back off one half turn.
9 Make sure the nuts holding the bottom end of the diagonal struts are backed off a bit from
contact so the rod assembly can mover freely in the slot. Grasp the rod in the center of
the base with one hand, grasp the top of the pedal Frame with the other, and rotate the
pedal frame upright sliding the rod in the adjustment slot forward until the unit is at your
preferred angle. Test the pedals to see if their geometry is correct for your seating
position. Adjust until comfortable, and finally tighten all pivot bolt nuts. For more tips on
adjusting geometry, see Section 2.4.
2.2 BASIC PEDAL PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Pedal pressure for all non-PMB equipped pedals is done in two steps. Perform adjustment in
the following sequence:
1 Overall pedal pressure, has three settings: light, medium and heavy. These are adjusted
by changing the location of the pedal resistance spring and its upper and lower mounts to
one of three possible positions [Figure 17]. Moving the spring towards the pedal arm pivot
point will reduce the pressure needed to depress the pedal. Moving the spring away from
the pivot will increase the required pressure. Generally it is recommended that the brake
pedal be set in the medium or heavy; and the gas pedal in the light or medium position.
2 Pedal spring preload is set by how far the screw supporting the lower spring seat is
turned in towards the spring. Preload is defined as the amount of initial pressure needed
to begin to move the pedal. To change preload, loosen the locknut on the lower spring
bracket and turn the set screw.
It may be advantageous to set preload at a moderate to high level if you like to rest your
foot on the pedal. If preload is too light one might be applying brake with the slightest
touch of the pedal. This is particularly a concern if one uses a two foot pedal method. Try
different settings but make sure to tighten the lock nut to preserve your settings when
finished with adjustment.
2.3 PMB BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
The ECCI PMB II (Pressure Modulated Brake) mechanism has two basic adjustments:
1 Main PMB pressure adjustment screw [Figure 15]. This screw sets the ultimate amount
of pressure required to bring the brake pedal down to full travel. This effect is highly
progressive and this screw should only be used for setting maximum braking pressure.
Do not use this screw to adjust initial pedal pressure.
2 The Pedal spring preload adjustment screw sets the amount of initial pedal pressure
required to begin to depress the pedal. It is set as described in Section 2.2. Make sure to
tighten the lock nut after adjustment.
If the user desires more brake pedal pressure resistance than the standard adjustments offer,
a Race Brake kit is available from ECCI as an accessory. The Race Brake Kit dramatically
increases the hardness of the pedal and the effort to reach full travel from 50lbs of the
standard PMB to 145lbs. This should only be considered for hard mounted cockpit units for
the amount of leg pressure needed requires solid mounting of both pedal unit and the seat.

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.

3.2 TUNING SUGGESTIONS
This setup might suit a driver with a light touch that races primarily tight road courses. This
offers a short throw lightly sprung steering action which will get you through chicanes quickly
all while maintaining optimal hand position for the accessory buttons at full lock. A light spring
setting reduces driver fatigue for those competing in full-length races. With reduced pressure
you can maintain precision cornering technique on the 190th lap without the sloppiness that
can come from muscle fatigue. With light spring settings, the FLDS will provide primary
resistance for wheel movement.
A driver running ovals might prefer more resistance and travel. A wide range of travel can
offer more fine steering adjustment in long sweeping corners, or could be set up for more pit
lane maneuverability. Up to 240 degrees or travel is available with the Trackstar 6000. With
heavier spring settings the role of FLDS is reduced. Most drivers will prefer moderate to light
spring settings when using an FLDS equipped system.
3.3 STEERING LOCK ADJUSTMENT
Four positions of steering lock are available: 180, 200, 220, and 240 degrees. The default
factory setting is 240. This adjustment should be performed first before other changes to
steering resistance are contemplated.
1 Loosen the eight screws that attach the steering unit cover to the chassis. Then remove
the cover exposing the mechanism.
2 Loosen the locknut on the preload adjusting screw underneath the steering unit, directly
below the springs [Figure 21]. Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise until the spring
pack is loosened.
3 Grasp the top of the spring pack and pull it out from underneath the pressure arm.
Remove the springs and spring retainers from the unit.
4 Locate the wheel travel limiter [Figure 26], a disk-shaped element close to the main
chassis structural plate. Rotate the steering wheel 90 degrees to the left. The two
retaining screws for the left-hand travel adjuster stop will now be accessible. Using the
supplied 3/32" hex key, loosen and remove the 2 screws and position the stop as
desired, rotating the wheel as required to provide access. The positions are explained in
Figure 23.
5 Next tighten the screws. Repeat the adjustment as described above for the right-hand
travel adjuster stop, making certain that the adjuster is moved exactly the same amount
as the left-hand stop.
6 Reinstall the spring set following steps 4-6 in the following section.
