I was fortunate to purchase one of the second U.S. group buy batches of custom shields released by RaceDepaetment member Pyronius for the popular DIY SFX-100 motion system. Unfortunately, I do not see myself pursuing this project in the near future as I am going the tactile route for immersion and need to buy a shell-type seat. The SFX-100 shield eases the task of wiring and makes the installation much cleaner overall. I paid $27 for the SFX-100 shield with shipping; it has never been out of the box, so I will sell for USD $27 plus actual shipping cost. I also bought a genuine Arduino Leonardo with headers for use with the SFX-100 shield. It likewise has never been out of the box except for the photo; selling for the price I paid: USD $16 plus actual shipping cost. Location is Kansas City, Missouri , so U.S. buyers only please. PayPal preferred but will consider other payment. More SFX-100 info: https://opensfx.com/

I'm reserving this top part to pin my latest build which will be an 80/20 extrusion chassis running a 3DoF seat mover with rear traction loss. My detailed build will be documented and most posted on xsim which links below in my signature. Here is the prototype sketch of the rig itself. The rig will not have triples monitors as it is being built for VR. ************************************************************************************** ************************************************************************************** I've finally decided to throw in the towel on the console racing era and move over to PC. This thread will describe my current and new DIY wooden racing chassis. I'll document what I can and I'm happy to field any questions and welcome any comments you may have on my progress and finished project. Thanks go out to Darin and Shaun for this community and to everyone here that inspired me in different areas of this project. I'll keep this post updated with any new additions and pictures while the posts below will detail the build. Happy racing!
