Hi guys.

I am selling a set of high end rudder pedals that I never even opened. I bought them for Star Citizen, thinking it was going to happen, and it didn't. Lots of you probably know about that whole mess. So this is not an ad. I am just mostly a sim racer, and I should not have invested in high end pedals when my dream space sim wasn't going to really be released for many years. All the following is adding a lot of detail for those who might not know about the pedals, and I need to provide a lot of info because they are on the expensive side....but so worth it!

Anyhow, here is a photo of what they look like...

These are from an overseas company called Slaw Device Company on Facebook. This guy builds amazing custom designed high quality flight rudder pedals. I bought mine with the damper addition which has a great impact on feel and performance. Really improving accuracy and feedback is a huge benefit. The damper has to be installed, and I have instructions for you from the email chain with the builder.

Here is a link to the gallery I posted on IMGUR if the unopened box and lots of nice detailed photos of the product - please note that 4 of these photos show the pedals without the damper installed: https://imgur.com/a/nyNq9ia

Here is a YouTube video of them in action (notice no damper installed):

Here is a video of an unboxing of the RX Viper:

Here is an excellent review: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/07/new-year-new-500-pedals-reviewing-the-slaw-device-rx-viper/


I will send you my entire email chain with the builder if you are interested in purchase. But here is the part of the email thread on the price.

It cost me exactly that - $693. I am looking for $575 plus shipping, which I think is fair since this is a mint box, let alone a mint piece of hardware. I live in Michigan. I have calculated the cost to ship via USPS to the furthest place in the main USA, California. Of course I picked 90210. The cost to send from here to there is $94.60. Plus the cost of insurance. You will likely get them shipped cheaper. Closer states are around $40 or $50. And I will cover the fees for insuring the package for the full purchase price, and send you a photo of the tracking receipt and proof of insurance.

I can tell you a bit about myself. I am lludson on eBay with a 100% feedback rating. I used to work for EA Sports on F1 and Nascar simulations, as well as Madden. Then iRacing. I love high end equipment. I buy the best I can afford. And you are certainly looking at the best here in terms of rudder pedals. I never even opened the box. I would save them for Star Citizen, but that is taking forever, and I have expenses I am trying to cover for my home theater...and I am unfortunately eating $150 here. I would rather sell to all you enthusiasts than put it on eBay and really have heavier fees to make my losses greater...

They are made of high quality metal and design, and nothing you can buy off the shelf compares to them. Especially with the damper too. You can pay over $300 for devices with a lot of plastic and much lower quality sensors, and less features.
