In Reply to: Could you post mounting dimensions of the HotRod model? posted by MameMole on 7, 2001 at 11:34 AM:
: The only thing stopping me from buying an Oscar is the mounting plate was much too big.
: : Actually, the size of the mounting plate was based on my (unreleased) push/pull design. The plate covers the switches and such. If you are interested in a HotRod version, I have already built a custom OSCAR for a HotRod owner that did not include the mounting plate. I shipped it mounted on a little piece of 3/4" particle board and left it so it could be easily disassmbled and installed in a HotRod. If you would like additional information regarding this customization, please email me for more information.
The HotRod version comes pre-mounted on a 3"x3" piece of 3/4" particle board. The mounting depth is 2" from the underside of the particle board. I ship the unit so it is easily disassembled for installation into the HotRod. The only modifications required to the HotRod are a 3/8" hole for the linear bearing, and screwing in a #6 wood screw on the underside of the joystick's top panel. You will also need to make provisions for the cable connecting the OSCAR to the PC. Please feel free to ask any other questions!
