I got my pro sequential yesterday! Just made a new mount and it's ready to use! The pro sequential has amazing feel, the great thing about having this heavy spring is that it makes it much harder to shift down too fast. This is definitely worth the money. đź‘Ť

:) :) I'm glad you're up and going!!! :)

Hey Derek, what's that Ram mount you recommend for your boxes again?

Here is a link to a mounting template from my site. The PDF has several Ram Mounts I recommend:

Thank you - both are sold :)

Hi friends,

I have two button boxes ready for immediate shipment in the morning tomorrow. The first one is an all red Black Max II and the second is an all red Track Boss. I built some extras in this run and have them ready to ship in the morning tomorrow:

Please order from my site here:

I will update this thread when each one is claimed. If you'd still like one even if these are claimed, new button box orders ship on August 14th.

Yes, the encoders will operate in both directions and allow you to cycle any value to which you may assign a control in either direction. I have over a thousand Track Bosses in service, and they are well liked! You will love yours!

Thank you!

Can the encoders be pushed in addition to rotated? I've always wondered that.

I don't use the ones with integrated switches. I may possibly use them on my new Velocity. I have 32 connections to my boards (my DSD 32 button controller), and the Black Max II uses 31 as it is configured.
 
Derek do you know where to buy the threaded part of your shifters? I wish to try an make my own but wasn't able to find anything at a lowes or home depot. Wasn't able to get to ace hardware yet. Will do soon.
 
I will more than likely be buying a track boss soon after my Rseat gets here. I'm really liking the idea of having the box.

The bits I used are mostly proprietary, but retail hardware shops won't be of any help except for some common fasteners.

I'm never hard to find :)
 
Derek I ordered me a set of Tilton Pedals. I hope I will like them. :)
 
I might write a small review of them on Simology.co.

Dunno about the time it takes to ship to the Netherlands. Maybe Derek if you could be so kind, could you give me an estimate on this based on experience?
Received the tracking code btw, but of course it won't be active until midnight as usual.

Hello - please allow a minimum of 10 to 15 working days for international deliveries. I don't guess on how long it will take on an individual basis.

Thank you,

Thank you, sir. Sounds About right to me. So I guess in about a month ish I will be able to test and review a lot of stuff. It will become busy. :)
Anyway, now people know when to roughly expect a review (though I wont make it as time consuming as my CSW review, the upcoming? DSD pedals might have been a different story).
 
Speaking of pedals, what's the word on the DSD pedals? Any comments? I'm about ready to throw these T500's out the window. Both sets!

This is all I have to show right now:

The frame is 3/8" 6061 made from the CNC, the other bits are 3/16" 6061 made from the CNC and the pedal arms are 5/16" 4130 steel made from the water jet cutter. I'll have more in time when I have more to report :)
 
5 Alarm Track Boss - for immediate shipment

Hi friends,

I thought an all red Track Boss would look cool with an all red enclosure. Here's the result:

(the red is deeper than the photo shows and color is a true "Fire Engine Red")

It's ready to ship in the morning tomorrow. If you wish to purchase it, please see my site here:

http://www.derekspearedesigns.com/Button-Boxes.html

and simply order a Track Boss - make sure you send me an email to derek.speare@ymail.com that you want this one. I'll update the thread when it's claimed. I'll ship it in the morning tomorrow. It's 99.75 USD (shipping is 10.95 US and 17.95 for intl.)

Thank you and happy racing!

Derek

It took 8 days to Norway with the button box ;) In other words I received it yesterday and it looks pretty nice. Working on mounting it to my rig now.

Edit:
Done.
