The UXL Dashboard PRO is where Pixelsonly Racing started. It was the first product I brought to market, the one that landed most of the early customers, and the one I built in public in the Logitech Pro Wheel community on Reddit.

The competition at the time skewed in one of two directions: too complicated to live with day-to-day, or too expensive to justify for what most drivers actually needed. There was a clear gap in the middle, so I built into it. Every update, every revision, every preorder window happened in the open. The people who followed along became the first customers.

The bespoke enclosure

The UXL screen format is the ideal match for the Logitech Pro Wheel, and the production version shipped in a bespoke enclosure designed around that pairing. It is manufactured from carbon fiber reinforced material for quality and durability, and the HDMI and USB ports were repositioned for cleaner placement in the rig. The vertical supports integrate down into the mount itself, which reduces the depth needed between the wheelbase, wheel, and paddle shifters and improves structural integrity across every component. The dash stays solid no matter how much torque you throw at it. An optional carbon fiber front finishes the face.

The wheelbase mount

The third-generation mount keeps the attachment point at the bottom of the wheelbase, like the generation before it, but improved in nearly every way. An upgraded M6 stainless steel socket head cap screw secures the mount through the wheeldeck and wheelbase seamlessly. The mount body is carbon fiber reinforced, and the 6mm vertical rods are pure carbon fiber, the right balance of strength and beauty.

This was generation one. The work continues.

Insight

A gap in the middle

The dashboards available at the time skewed in one of two directions: too complicated to live with day to day, or too expensive to justify for what most drivers actually needed. There was a clear gap in the middle, so I built into it.

Process

Built in the open

Where it fell short

The first enclosures were printed, and it showed

Early housings were 3D printed and iterated by hand. Fit and finish took several passes to get right, and the move to a bespoke screen case with an integrated mounting system came directly out of where the printed versions fell short on depth and stability.

What we learned

Stiffness is the whole game

Under direct-drive torque the mount has to stay dead still or the screen is unreadable. The baseplate was redesigned from the ground up and the vertical supports went from 3mm to 6mm carbon fiber. That stiffness, not the screen itself, is what made it feel like a real instrument.
