Hi Folk
I start a xbox racing cab project, inspired a lot by gbeef (Outrun Cab Salvage and scratch Build).
I choose an old mod xbox to drive the cab
Bought a fanatec speedster 3
Hack the fanatec with happ wheel and pedal
32 lcd sony TV
LEPAI mini amp with sub and two speaker
custom built cab
Sega virtual On seat
-
Nice! I'm not surprised GBeef has inspired someone else to build a driving cab his looks great.
Good luck with the build.
-
Looks good so far! ;D
In searching for examples of driving cab builds, I came accross this list of 100 good xbox driving games:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=53065.0 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=53065.0)
I was planning on redoing my driving cab with new controls this year,
but you guys are making me want to build a new one from scratch. :cheers:
-
I see that list also, but not all the game play well with a steering wheel and pedal, so I have to make choice. I will post a list when all my testing will be done to let you know which one play well with my set up.
Planning also to had nintendo 64 emu to play Cruisin USA, california racing, cruisin worl, San fransisco rush and sanfransisco rush 2049!
-
looking good.. your blasting thru your build. I'm still doing wood work on mine lol.. maybe ill paint this weekend.

BadMouth your cabinet inspired me to build mine!
Its only worth to do a rebuild if your want to go with a Larger LCD I wanted Hidef in my cabinet.

Thanks :cheers:
I keep adding to the driving cab thread hoping it will lead to more builds. >:D
(I think it's working)

Not to try to derail you're nice driving cab you have going on but what are those last two posts? ^^^

:bump
Any more progress?

Links in my sig might explain some. When I did my driving cab, it had been a while since anyone had messed with one, mainly because there weren't that many games playable in MAME without some kind of issue. I made the driving cab info thread in hopes of showing that with other emulators it could be worthwhile.
Not sure that I can claim credit, but there does seem to be more interest in driving cabs around here lately.
I'm envious of the 32" LCD cabs that redketchup and gbeef are building.
I might just have to build a new one after learning from their builds. :P
redketchup - sorry for going off topic. please post more build pics!

I take the plunge and disassemble my fanatec speedster 3 wheel. I'm pretty happy because there is enough wiring inside the wheel, to wire my control panel! So i took the PCB and rewire my arcade button with the PCB.
I had problem with my pedal and my A button, when I plug the pedal, the A button stop working, I realize there is 2 pot in the wheel that need to be plug in the PCB for everything working OK. This 2 pot have 2 function. Act like the A button when the pedal is plug, and act like the pedal when the pedal are unplug. So far everything look good. I still wait for Canada Post delivery my 10k pot to finalize the control panel.

pedal base!

I had a bad day today with my project, my wheel stop working.
Last time I test my arcade wheel, I put the potentiometer that come with the xbox wheel and I have it fit with my arcade wheel, everything was working but the wheel turn in the wrong side, turn left and car goes right and vice-versa.
I decided to wait to have my new 10K pot before looking at this.
the pot finally arrived today and I solder a new one like the old one was wiring.... and surprise... nothing work. everything else is working, but no more wheel.
So I put the old pot that i know is working before and still nothing.
I presumed that I probably burn something on the PCB. I have checked my connection couple time, to be sure I didn't forget something, and still nothing.
I will try to find a new xbox wheel and start my control panel again.
-
That sucks on the PCB, Hopefully you get everything working. Its looking great so far.
-
Doesn't hurt to ask...
Anybody have an old PCB from a fanatec speedster 3 that are wiling to sell?
-
I forgot to ask what kinda of peddles are you planning on using?
-
None!
-
Got a new wheel today... Logitech NASCAR wheel for xbox, the best thing about this wheel is that pot seem the same value that the one come with my happ pedal and wheel (5k pot) so it's a direct swap.
Have everything wiring tonight and everything seem to be working.

Big news yesterday,
Finish to hack the wheel, pedal and button and everything work fine with outrun!
I will have to test with all my other xbox racing game, but it's a real good start.
Next step... paint :cry:
-
Finish painting, not so happy with the result, but when it will be squeeze between to pinball, I don't think it will bug me!
Starting to put everything together, and make the first test yesterday with outrun 2,
Sound is good, wheel and pedal work very well, navigation button are perfect, so I'm pretty happy with the result!
Will post pics shortly
-
Ok i gotta try this wheel hack, red i notice your on macaa also and in canada. I was wondering where you got your happs wheel from? Pics look good post some pics of paint.
-
I'm on MAACA for a couple years now, Pinball collector for a long time ago!
I bought the wheel from ebay (40 S) and pedal (20 $) at allentown pinball convention.
See you on MAACA
-
Pics!
-
that looks awesome! very nice work
-
That does look really good. I've been wanting to build a racing cab as well but with a PS2 as the heart. I've got plenty of racing games for it and would probably build it around the Ford Racing 3 game just because I'm a Ford fan. But before I do that I need to get a bigger house for a dedicated game room.
That artwork looks great Snaake!

Thank's everybody for the nice comment. Looking forward to finish this beast. after I need to test all the game I have to be sure they work fine with the wheel and pedal!
-
It's alive! :applaud:
I like that you put the sub under the seat. ;D
Can't wait to see it all the way finished!

Hi
I'm starting to test some game yesterday, and I realized that I will probably need the black and white button for some of those... I don't want to do an other controle panel, I will continue my testing and see How many game need it.
-

P.S. I'm still waiting for my art to arrived! (marquee and side art)

how much is this REAL happ wheel again?
personally I think fanatec 3 is good enough but if I were to get the real thing. I am totally thinking about building a racer cabinet.. :dizzy:

I pay 40$ for the wheel assembly with the pot and the mounting bracket, this wheel is built like a tank... I bought a new wheel, because the one I had on the assembly was pretty old and doesn't look good (an other 50$ for a new wheel only)
I had to buy an logitech wheel for the hack on ebay for 20$
-
Here you go... pics of the finish product, had some problem with the sideart, have to cut it in half for fitting, but pretty happy with the result!
The best part is the way it play... I'm really happy with it
-

-
sucks about the side art, but it turned out awesome anyway.
:cheers:
ps, paint that white headrest :P
-
how did you or your print guy screw up the sideart ???
looks good and all but I was hoping to see the whole thing lol..
-
Looks good man. I found a twin set of racing seats similiar to yours on craigslist. I should have got them. A racing cab will probably be one of my next projects. I am with Snaake though. I was hoping to see more of the side art.
-
All these racing cabs makes me crazy aswell. But they are just to big. Would love to have one though.
It turned out very well :applaud: But what happened to the sideart.?
-

Hi Snaake
It not my fault or the printing guy....
The outrun 3 logo was misplaced and it doesn't fit. The texte was to big and to far on the right. There was no way I can put it the complete side art on the cab!
It's more like a conception problem, but with detail you have for the conception, i will be surprise if this will fit.
Thank's for the compliment
Gino

Wow that's awesome! Nice job mate. I'd love to make something like this one day to run gran tourismo and forza horizon.
-
I have the itch to build a driving setup too.
I have a question about your 32" monitor - do you find that it is far enough away from you when you play?
I guess it would be easy to figure out the best distance. I play on my 60" TV right now so I could find the best distance for that screen and do some math.
Looks really cool man! Nice job!
-
It's pretty close, but it's really immersive! I like it!
-
Ok cool, thanks. I used to have a 32" in my standup but had a problem with the panel, so ended up with a 27".
I like the smaller screen for things like Galaga, but the 32" was awesome (as you said immersive) for other games, like my own 3D motorcycle stunt game. I mean that game was stunning after seeing it mainly on mobile devices.
I need a bigger house first.
