The Logitech steering wheel that I use is a huge cost, pedals, wheel and stick you are looking at $300 on ebay, brand new over $400. The steering wheel of the star wars cab also has no force feedback, imo this is essential for Daytona. Also the seat in the starwars 1up is a simple cushion pad, for good reason, this keeps the cost down by a massive amount. This is why you will see with the Arcade 1up star wars machine that it is mostly wooden parts without much injection molding or vacuum forming plastic parts. I can just replicate with a mold and do one at a time which is a lot cheaper believe it or not. I however since been able to figure out a home replication system, but it's not mass scale. The costs are huge! I got several quotes from part manufacturers in China and just the dash alone is $130 to replicate. I have however ran into some stumbling blocks getting my original parts replicated, let alone getting the custom seat part replicated. The seat parts I have been looking into also but that comes second. This means that I can provide people who want to build their own custom racing mod the Dash mold (the part that sits over the steering wheel, and the gear stick enclosure and inner parts. Happy to answer any questions about itĪfter this build I've been working on a racing mod kit. Vinyl side artwork credit to arcadegraphix, tulsaarcades for the supply of the bezel and monitor mount.Thanks for sharing my Daytona build. If you have any questions feel free to message me. 3D printed a scaled-down version at 79%, built the inner supports, and built a base for it. I bought an original Daytona seat to use as a reference and inspiration. The custom dash and gearbox are made to fit the Logitech wheel designs.

With this build I started with two space invader arcade 1up side panels, some connector parts then moved to 3D design software to define the look and export parts to my 3D printer and CNC router. I will start with two cabinets linked up so two people can play against each other, and a dual banner and it can expand from there. My next step is to use my parts as molds to create replicas and create a link-up system just like the original Daytona. I could see Sega Rally, Outrun, or any driving game looking and running great. It’s exciting to think of the many mod possibilities on top of my mod, with different artwork and colors.

I wanted the dash, gearbox, seat, the whole unit to be heavily inspired by the original cabinet. My goal with this project was to create a proper sit-down arcade 1up cabinet, inspired by my favorite childhood game Daytona USA.
