Very simple yet practical design. I think you've done an excellent job.

How much did it cost you to make them?

Boundary Layer · 15th June 2006, 20:40

great job.

I'd say those look 50x better than any of the cheap plastic jobbies like I see in stores or have in my room.

But ya, as Tweaker asked, what kind of a dent did this put in your pocketbook?

Not much, is all handwork and some pieces of metal and aluminum.
And a LOT of hours of work

Nice, they look superb.

Would some kind spanish/english speaking soul be able to translate the instructions etc for these? I don't trust babelfish etc to be accurate enough

Hehe, at first glance I thought thouse were ECCI TrackStar Pedals, and that's a compliment

Might be a bit cold for me, though, as I always play with bare feet....

Great looking pedals though, and I'd certianly think they'd last you a while

Perhaps they're stand-alone pedals and are only for exercising your feet? LOL

I didn't see any pots or anything either, but I would think it's in there somewhere.

Use the gameport to connect to PC or USB using a gameport/usb adapter.
The price is something like 250usd for the 3 pedal set.

In a few weeks maybe be in ebay.. i dont know yet.

ahh, the cable is not connected there, is just the pots. Also the RCA connector BOX who is the ¨bridge¨ between the pedals and the male DB15 plug is not there, the BOX have female RCA and an indicator LED to show when the cable is connected to the PC, the pedals have male RCA plugs.

i let you know when they are available in ebay.

Is all handmade, cut and welded metal.
There is NOT prefabricated parts.

Tony Pearce · 11th July 2006, 07:48

They look great

Can you adjust the angle of the pedals so they're vertical for mounting in a cockpit?

So they pedals are straight up at 90 degrees to the ground??

If so, could you post a pic of them set up in this way?

yes, the angle can be adjusted.

Here is a pic with the max and min angle posible. (the pedal have 4 different positions)

InsaneJeff · 12th July 2006, 17:45

Woah! :|

Awesome work, i was wondering how you made them touch sensative, seeing the pots answered that question.

They look heavy, which would be perfect for me, mine keep sliding on the carpet under my desk and i have to pull them back out with my feet, which is a bit scary in the middle of a race.

Might be time to work on a wheel now?

MAD3.0LT · 13th July 2006, 09:41

dam awesome pedals man i was thinking about taking car pedals and making a nice cockpit with real car pedals but havent found some good sensors
