Wow $75 + $10 shipping? What a bargain! Not...

Don't buy anything unless you get a response. Even then I wouldn't buy it, it's just too expensive for what it is. Also, all the pictures you see on that site are generated by a computer, they're not pictures of the actual product. So I don't trust it at all.

They are very good products. He was very popular (Leo Bodnar) on the old rsc forums.

Hey Neto_R,

I bought my SLI-M last year, it's a great bit of kit. Took a while for the guy who does the coding stuff to support Windows 7. And he doesn't totally work on LFS, but there is enough support for it and he will keep updating it.

Sadly I bought it a week before the release of the SLI-Pro, and I wish I sent my SLI-M back and paid for an upgrade.

Here are some videos, this was back in 2009

I now have it mounted in a nice box, with the help of my dad hehe.

I mounted it in the same place as these videos show, but the setup of the wheel and distance of the pedals makes it hard to pay attention to the read outs. I now have it setup infront of my screen so it's under the wheel in lfs.

Hoping once I finish uni I can try and make a custom wheel or addon to the g25, so I can fit the SLI-M onto it :)

Here are a few pics of it now.

[Neto_r]

thanks for that

so its better the SLI-M than the SLI-Pro or not

nice box for the SLI-M

im lookkng for buying it and put same as you

excellent work


so, the site is recommended for buying that?

[adamlfs]

The SLI-Pro is better than the SLI-M. If you can afford to buy the Pro, get it.

And yeah you can trust the guys website, I got my SLI-M in 2 days I think. But that is UK to UK. So expect a week or two for yours :)

Also make sure you state that you want the usb connections and button connectors all installed. Otherwise you will be to add them urself.

Glad I could help.

so im gonna buy the SLI-PRO

only one more thing, how did you do the box for the SLI ?

materials? size´s?

any tutorial for noobs :razz:

regards :thumb:

[adamlfs]

Smart choice :)

Making a box for it shouldn't be too hard if you have the know-how and the tools and materials.

http://www.eksimracing.com/

That website is where you get the firmware updates and Apps that work with the SLI devices. There is also a forum section where EK "the guy who makes the stuff" Posts updates, answers questions and helps us guys out.

I think you should be able to find a blueprint there, or you could always photograph the SLI-Pro and use that to work out a box design.

To box up my SLI-M I got a box from an electronics store.

And then with help from my dad we marked out the sections and then made holes for the LEDS and a cut-out section for the LED gear display.

Here is a template for the SLI-Pro, but you need AutoCad to open it.

Im hoping to make up something like this for my SLI-M and G25 :)

Heres my custom wheel in action with the SLI-PRO, and what you can adjust on it.

Ah cool, yeah I've seen that video before. Didn't realise that was Mehlinger, how much did that cost?

But one thing is the way the buttons are placed. Ok they are easy to hand but it looks like there are too many :)

Got anymore pictures of it?

[Neto_r]

it is possible to chance de LEDS color

for example in the SLI-M

is: green-red-blue


i would put: green-yellow-red

it is possible to change the color of the LEDS?

regards :thumbsup:

[adamlfs]

I believe Leo had an option for this, best way to find out is by emailing him.

Otherwise you will have to try and fix that yourself.

Hello guys,
I am very sorry that I look like I don't exist. But I do :nod: and have been doing nothing but building sim hardware during the last years.

You can have any LED layout you want on both SLI-M and SLI-Pro. When you are ordering a custom version please put a note with exact requirements in a "Special instructions" box on a PayPal page. SLI-M can be ordered with connectors soldered on or separated.

Happy racing! :thumb:

Hey Leo, I was wondering if trading is possible?

I bought my SLI-M just before the Pro was released but didn't see the price was not that different.

Is it still possible to trade them at all? and of course pay the difference of the SLI-Pro
