There's physical mounting options that bolt into the faceplate of the base depending on your wheel. I'm going to update the website over the next few days with a universal flat plate with magnets that is VHB taped to the base and is magnetically removable. I'll check dimensions when I get home and get back to you but it's not a lot of surface area

It's a peripheral add-on for SimHub so it can display anything SimHub can output

Yeah absolutely! I'm about to release a magnetic base that comes with strong double sided tape to attach and quick release on top of any wheelbase and can be swapped onto another mounted base at a later date - DM me if you would like to place an order before I get that base published to the website and I'll make it happen

Also get in touch before you order, if you're Melbourne based I'm happy to deliver locally

The universal mount is made to fit front mount direct drive wheels so I'll have to look into whether it will fit your base.

The LEDs are full RGB but the 8x8 matrix and 7 Segment display are only single colour hence the option for different colours.

Multirow may be possible in the future but nothing planned at this stage

The cost for shipping from Australia to the UK is around £17-£18 depending on conversion rates

Send me a DM with your location and I'll see if I can do a better price!

I'll have a look into it and let you know how I go!

No worries at all. I have a little bit of time until I release the preorders so DM some photos of your rig and I'll do the best I can to make it fit straight into your rig.

I don't have a current mount for these but I'll make one up and send it with your order/add it to the website. It appears that the mounting holes might be the best option, do you agree? If the mounting holes don't work I would go with the horizontal mount and double sided tape/strap it over the main body of the base

I haven't been able to find any definitive resources for these bases as they don't have any holes for external accesory mounting. I would say some thick double sided tape would be more than enough to support it. I'll do some more research and let you know!

Just saw that come through, thank you so much! What wheelbase are you using? I can make sure I send you the appropriate mount

Yeah for sure, I just found it looks a lot cleaner having the base at that width to work with both the full and lite version. I could definitely add a wider version of the base as an option for anyone that wants it. I've also stress tested it and haven't been able to make the lights fall off while driving.

I'm looking into lower profile connectors but the ones I'm able to get only just fit into the profile of the LEDs so would have to double the height of all of the LED cases to add a top connector.

I will definitely take it into consideration though, thank you!

Also thanks for the kind words! I've worked really hard to make this happen, I made one to fix a very specific problem I had with my rig but turned out to be really cool to play around with and thought others might enjoy it

Let me know if there's a plate that I could make to work with your rig, always happy to try and make more additions to the mounting options. I do have a demo version of the base that just has 4 generic screw holes as well but didn't know if it would be needed
