    Selling my project that I started early 2021 based on Peacemakers 6dof unicorn design. I had more plans for it including adding a shifter, upgrading to 3 monitors, and some panels to hide the cage but I ran out of time and budget as I got married and bought a house since starting the project. The cable management and connection between foot pedal mount and monitor mount were temporary until a more elegant solution was found. That being said it is entirely functional in it's current state and I was very happy with how it performs. I'm hoping to sell it to someone who will continue where I left off on it.

    Seat is on slider so it is adjustable front to back.
    Steering wheel height and monitor height is adjustable.
    Foot pedals are mounted to a weldment that is able to "slide" on the bottom bar and be bolted into different holes for adjustment.

    List of equipment included:
    1 x Aluminum hexapod base
    6 x Custom built actuators with 1610 650mm ballscrews and carbon fiber pushrods and 750W motors
    6 x Drivers for actuators
    1 x Driver case with cooling fan
    1 x Thanos Motion Controller
    1 x Chassis with removable screen mount if only used for VR
    1 x SPARCO Circuit II QRT Fiberglass Racing Seat with mounts and adjustable slider

    1 x FANATEC ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2.5
    1 x FANATEC Clubsport Pedals V3
    wireless keyboard/touchpad
    All cabling required to run the simulator

    I designed it to be able to be disassembled and fit through doors.
    I am unfortunately unable to help transport as I lack a vehicle that is capable so it would need to be picked up at my residence.

    I put around $14k into the project and would like to recoup the costs. I am also open to lower offers if the Fanatec equipment isn't needed.

    Forgot the image showing the less glamorous angle highlighting the mess in the back. Wouldn't let me edit it into original post for some reason.
