New Project Idea - Sit Down MotoCross Racer Thingy
gamer2112:
I was cleaning out the basement when I came across these 2 interesting items...
First is the Yamaha MS-1 MotorCross Controller...
Second is a Cardio-Fit Plus Exercise Thingy...
So, you can probably see where I'm going with this!
I want to build a sit-down racer with these 2 items (the hardest parts are done!)
I am a big fan of racing games and I can use Xbox, PS2, and/or Gamecube.
I don't have a lot of tools skills, but I can probably get something cool out of this.
Any ideas to help me put it all together from you experienced guys will be welcomed!
Thanks!

Go to your local salvage shop and pick up a motorcycle take that's in good shape, clean it 100 times and wash it out (gasoline smell lasts forever), mock a body with regular MDF, round the edges, mock up some wheels using the wonderful new Bendy-MDF, sand and paint it using a wet sand method (so you can see your reflection in it) trick it out and have fun!! :applaud: Gonna be a fun project.

Maybe something along the lines of the Harely Davidson LA Riders cabinet. It can even be a separate unit that you wheel up to your arcade cabinet when you need it.

Wow, cool! I have never seen these.
I'm thinking about a toy motorcycle plastic gas tank to help it take shape.
So far, I removed the handle bars and started looking for ways to mount the controller.
I will keep you all posted. Thanks for the ideas everyone!
