I'd like to see a replacement for the flashers on the slings. Not sure the fire hydrant will look good there,,
Quoted from John_I:By request I have already been working on those. I have the Insider magnet art done and almost done on the warning label. I made these for Godzilla also and they were very popular. They will be ready to ship in a week or so and on my Pinside store.[quoted image]
I'm in for both pieces John!!
Quoted from SkyKing2301:Update on the Red Barchetta mod! See pics & video below for a rough draft of one of two versions I'd like to make.
I wanted to incorporate the "one-lane bridge" from the song, since it's a key plot point in the climax of the story. I tried to envision what type of bridge might be in the countryside, that would also work well for this mod and wouldn't hide the car. I found a basic model of a double-arch open-top bridge, and set to work modifying, resizing, stone-ifying, and trimming/cutting to have it mount on the ramp, and incorporating components to attach the car itself.
After a few iterations of the design, here's the rough draft. I'll be further tweaking the model and slicing to clean it up further, adding a lobe to attach the whole assembly to an existing screw in the game, etc. Then, of course, whatever additional tweaks are required when I fit-check it in the actual game.
[quoted image]
The ball rolls underneath it as shown here:
The pictures and video show it on my Game of Thrones Pro which has a straight section of plastic ramp on the left, similar to a section of Rush's on the right. So imagine the pics are reversed and the bridge is on the other side of the game.
I also have one other idea for a mounting location I haven't started yet, so buyers will have a few options. In the upper left corner of the game is a curved section of ramp; I'm designing a curved road section that can mount up here. More to follow on that as I design/print prototypes.
As of right now I have 30 of the cars, but 21 have already been reserved on the waitlist. Since I still don't have official pre-orders set up yet (since both configurations aren't ready to show and I haven't established the final pricing), please PM me to get on the waitlist.
More pics etc.:

Looks great, hope you've got one for me!
Quoted from John-Floyd:Flipper Toppers...I need RUSH Flipper toppers!!! - anyone making any!?
ebay.com link: NEW HOT ITEM RUSH PINBALL Pinball Flipper Armour Mod
Quoted from AUKraut:RUSH Steampunk Gear Flasher Covers update:
The printer is going non-stop and will have some orders ready to ship tomorrow....I'll send a PM out as I process thru the orders as received.
At the suggestion of Pinsider and fellow RUSH fan Hayfarmer I'm now making a 6th design available: Bones!! I've attached the CAD Drawings for it. Getting these ready ASAP as well. I will offer any of the preorders the opportunity to swap one of the original 5 for the Bones design if you so desire, I'll give you that opportunity when the time comes....got some ideas on this one as well, although I'm going to wait to get my LE first so that clearances can be checked. I'm still working on that as well as a few other designs coming soon!!

Excellent quality, Thanks !!!

Hey, I'm rural, but not that rural
Quoted from pinballjah:Just make your own translites. Plan to frame these. Still trying to find a good image of the premium.
[quoted image]
I'd be interested in a pro, even a half size version just to hang on the wall
Quoted from John_I:The speaker panel magnets and apron decals are available now!!
https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1312-space-coast-pinball/05784-rush-dress-up-magnet-art-and-decal-art-
Ordered! Looks great.
Quoted from John_I:My first reaction when I saw this game was: the 90s called and want their flashers back! Good to see a lot of mod makers have answered the call.
My second reaction was that this looks like a great game and I need to reserve one!
You did, didn't you? hopefully
Quoted from SkyKing2301:Those who've had interest in my Red Barchetta mod ... I've made some nice improvements to the one-lane bridge and also have been working on lighting. I'd appreciate feedback from waitlisters / interested folk before I get too carried away.

Looking pretty great!
Quoted from Vino:Where do these mods go in the game?
Can you just remove the Insider Connected decal?
Thanks for info.
On the apron is the seizure warning, under the right speaker.is the insider sticker. The ticket is a magnet that goes over the insider decal, the other is a sticker. Easy to remove, I've put them on 4or 5 games now. $ 20 bucks for both I believe.
Quoted from Vino:Ok thx.
The LE apron looks nice - but I now see what you mean with the warning. [quoted image]
Kinda sux, huh? The yellow?
Quoted from Lateralus:This thread is fantastic!
Not sure what everyone else is doing, but since there are 6 flasher domes, I was thinking that 6 of those gear, steam punk dome covers would look a bit much on an LE (maybe not, possibly, just initial thought).
So, I was thinking of getting:
The dalmatian and hydrant mod (1)
Roll the bones dice covers at the slings (2)
And 3 of the gear dome covers (3)
Anyone else doing this, or are just waiting to see what else pops up? I think even if leaving it stock would look great, but you know how this goes; just too excited and buying shit ahead of time!
I've got all those coming, except the dalmatian, waiting to see the final . Will prob order it and do as you're thinking. Also have the barchetta coming,
Quoted from pinballjah:Couple suggestions now that I have them installed. I think they likely need to be attached somehow to the flashers. They do tend to turn during game play. Also, when you raise the playfield, you have to remove the four not below any existing plastics. Do look great on the game. Look like they came with the game really.
Mine came with double backed tape, but no machine here yet to try. They look great !
Quoted from drummermike:I am doing the same. I have RUSH mods stacked up in the storage room. Not sure where I will put the dice.
It will be fun to mix em up, so many flashers, I don't want em all the same.
Quoted from John-Floyd:They look great. Literally just putting the tape on the flat top of the flasher and then lining up to the existing screws… love it
Very nice!!
Quoted from John-Floyd:Is the tape even needed on these things?
Ya, someone said they were spinning, he didn't know he included the tape. Easy mistake
Quoted from kool1:Still need one more victim!
Let me think about it for a day or two - I feel like I'm jumping on too many mods LOL.
You can't have enuf on rush
Quoted from SkyKing2301:Haha, perfect examples of why it'll be good to have the different options! Thanks guys. Once I get confirmation from fit-checker (should be delivered tomorrow), pending any issues, these will be ready to go up for sale.
The one-lane bridge for the Red Barchetta mod was never intended to go over the metal ramp (though I'll certainly be considering every option once my game gets here, because you never know what'll end up looking best) -- I'd always been considering the plastic ramp where it runs along the right wall, or the left plastic above Vapor Trails, so no interference concerns in either of those locations. I'd also considered in the straightaway of the S-curve just before that flasher, so obviously that could interfere -- but not everyone getting the Barchetta will be getting the Signals mod, and vice versa.
The other option on the Barchetta mod will be the curved road scene, intended for over the ramp in the back left corner.
Can you hurry and get your le so I can have my barchetta for mine?
Quoted from SkyKing2301:Also, a quick Presto update ... my hat/rabbit is just a hair too tall. (or should I say just a hare? lol) He can fit up where the Signals mod goes (if you're not getting that mod), but I'd really like him to fit at the flasher in the lower right corner as shown here, I think he looks really great there.
[quoted image]
Fit-checker also put him on the slingshot. While I wasn't crazy about it there from the pics, seeing it in person may be a different story -- the fit checker says, "i like the Rabbit on the right sling. I left it there. Its small and does not take up that mush space, nor make it look busy." So hey there's another option for you folks!
[quoted image]
[quoted image]
More to follow when I resize him for the lower right corner of the right ramp, and send him back out for additional fit-check.
Of course I want the rabbit when you ship the car/bridge.
Quoted from AUKraut:For now I’ve added Comet color lens LEDS[quoted image]
And what are you working on?
Quoted from AUKraut:That Time Machine will be a tough nut to crack to make look right......I'd love to see someone put a LCD in place of those reels!!!
I think you're the man for the job
Quoted from wolverinewarlord:So I am new here. Very new. Very VERY new. I just bought my first pin; A Rush LE and I am eager to mod it. I have several items on order from this forum (thank you to all the creators!) but have a couple of questions.
1: I am interested in upgrading the woofer and/or speakers in my cabinet. It looks like pinballpro just has some direct plug & play replacements, is this accurate? If I wanted to go with something a little more "boomy" such as they are doing here: what would you all recommend? And if I did something a little more "boomy" is the Pinwoofer KO system required to amplify it?
2: I see that there is a magnet ticket mod being offered which I have ordered. I didnt realize you could get the ticket customized -- how do you do this?
If there is an RTFM for all of this please point me there. Like I said I am very very new and completely ignorant with all things pinball mod.
Thanks so much!
Buy the pinwoofer ko kit, includes amp, backbox speakers and cab speaker. Simple hookup, worth every penny. You'll not regret it
Quoted from Apollo18:I just saw this posted on GZ thread.
THIS is what I want for the IC
Anyone know what, where and how??
It looks like a colour printed on regular printer paper and cut to size… Regardless, looks great
[quoted image]
I printed on photo paper, light would not come thru. Tried translucent, too much light and looked weird. So just plain old copy paper, with a blue plastic behind it. Not perfect, but an idea someone with more talent can Maybe build from and I'll buy a great piece from them.
Quoted from hawknole:Joe at cfengravingservices.com is cutting orange PETG protectors for Rush, also unbreakable, Joe’s email - [email protected]
I am not at all affiliated with Joe, he is just a solid guy who sells to most of the major pinball parts places we all use.
I have the orange on my game and they look gold to me. Great color IMO.
[quoted image]
Thx!

Just ordered a set, $25 for the protectors and $5 shipping. Very fair price in today's world!!
Quoted from gandamack:Is it possible to over-mod a game? I mean putting in so many extra goodies that the machi e starts to look like one of those claw machines. I bought a couple mods but I am beginning to think it is too much.
No dolls
Quoted from John_I:This is something I've been working on to replace the factory LEDs on the time machine. It's taken a lot of work and design changes to get to this point. This is still a working prototype though, I should have the proper color LEDs in this week. I hope to make these available soon.
Comments?
Those are awesome!
Quoted from ejthedj:Check out my RUSH man cave!!!
[quoted image][quoted image]
But, where's the pin?
Quoted from gandamack:Just received the dog and fire hydrant mod. Very high quality! Thanks RocketCity!
Did you get presto too, they both look great on the game.
Quoted from gandamack:I did not. I was afraid that it may over-cluster the game. But, if not I may do it. Can you possibly post a pic of your playfield with both of the mods installed?
Thanks
What I dont like about this game is the 6 flashers, was going to take the ones off the slings until skyking and Willipinball mods became available. So to me, covering all of em makes me happy
Quoted from JoeinNJ:Has anyone come across this in the game or could it of been a sneak peak of the topper from Stern?
[quoted image]
I hope not, really expecting it to be Neil's drum kit. Huge miss if it's not,,
Quoted from usafstars:6 games so far. This thing is smooth. Center scoop was much easier to hit, about 75% less bounce outs now. Plenty of sloppy side scoop entries, but I’m way Ok with that. No ball deflection when rolling over lip, kept ball on original trajectory. Really watched it while wife was playing and didn’t see any lifting of edges at all no matter how the ball hit it.
That's great to hear, mine should be waiting when I get back Monday. Looks great installed !!
Quoted from SkyKing2301:He's referring to my assortment of mods -- Signals (dalmatian/hydrant flasher cover), Presto (rabbit/hat flasher cover), 2112 Start button, hydrant coin buttons, and my Red Barchetta mod that's almost done.
See my shop for the existing mods (https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1282-rocket-city-pinball) and this thread for Red Barchetta progress (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/red-barchetta-mod-rush-development-amp-discussion).
I'm ready fr barchetta!!!!!
Quoted from SkyKing2301:Just got back from a family wedding/vacation so should be making more progress this week!
Well deserved time off. I'm ready for our car whenever you are done
Recieved my inscribed solutions coin door magnet, pretty sweet!. Installation was hard tho, took a full 5 seconds !!!. And they put my LE number on the time machine. Very good quality, looking forward to more from them. Thanks
20220404_145053 (resized).jpg20220404_145110 (resized).jpg20220404_145117 (resized).jpgYes, 7/16" drill, don't go too deep, just to edge of green band around the bulb, otherwise itvwill rub a tiny bit on the playfield plastic. I had to fill first one in about an 1/8" with glue to get correct spacing. Super glued over night, played 8 or so games, looks great
Quoted from Apollo18:Mine didn’t turn out as well Hayfarmer and others.
Dice kept breaking on me,
So went with less depth.
In future will try with larger dice.
I think will make for “cleaner” look.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
I used the factory bulbs, are you using fluted? Put it in a vise to drill, I've had no issues.
Quoted from Jamesays:note to self next time when shooting porn from iphone bring wipes.
Quoted from beelzeboob:Looking for 2 Rush banners. I was waiting on my distro to get them and they never did. So much for loyalty.
Pm sent
Quoted from drummermike:Pinball Life and Marco have the clear washers.
And nice colored ones to match the plastics as well,, but I use full protectors, gameroom mods has nice ones
https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1167-gameroom-mods/06577-stern-rush-fluorescent-protectors
Quoted from kmad:That is what I suspected. But I wanted to weigh in with you more experience guys since I am a first time owner. I’ve really learned a lot from this forum appreciate all the help. Thanks
Buy the nice fluorescent ones, they look great. If you break a plastic, it will cost as much for 1 piece fron stern than the set of protectors will.
Quoted from John-Floyd:yeah i have those same ones - they are nice and the price was right, but I miss my glow!
Yup, if I change, I'm gonna go orange
Quoted from SkyKing2301:I make them, in fact colored posts is what started this whole Rocket City Pinball 3D printing thing for me. Plain clear or white posts are boring -- I believe they should complement the art package like they used to back in the 60s.
While there are several manufacturers that offer translucent colors, which are nicer than plain, I have a wider range of colors available for customization of your games, plus I make specialized metallic and multicolor ones too, like "Beskar"/ Steel ones for Mandalorian or Terminator, the antique brass ones for Rush, Caution stripe ones for Jurassic Park or Road Show, bowling pin ones, black ones for card themes, etc.
[quoted image]
[quoted image]
[quoted image]
Once I get a chance to put the antique brass ones in my game (next week hopefully) and confirm how they look, I'll make them available in my shop.
[quoted image]
You dang guys taking all my money
Quoted from SkyKing2301:"You dang guys" is just a one family operation -- myself, my wife (shipping dept & idea bouncer-offer), my daughter (idea comer-upper and occasional 3D modeling assistant), and my son (installer-helper and post-installation game tester lol).
But we do greatly appreciate it!!
And happy to support!!
https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1227-willipinball-mods/05759-rush-steampunk-gear-flasher-covers
I have these and they fit perfectly, and haven't moved since I installed
Quoted from Lermods:Here's a quick mod we just put together, backboard flasher tied to the clock insert flasher by the pops. Could be easily moved to any other flasher. Shown in ice blue, but other colors available. Similar to what we’ve done for games like metallica, iron man and acdc only voltage is different on spike games.
https://lermods.com/shop/ols/products/rush-pinball-led-strip-backboard-flasher[quoted image]
Thx for doing this!! Ordered
Quoted from SkyKing2301:Looks cool for Pro & Premium, without expression lighting. I think this combined with expression lighting might be seizure-inducing!
Gonna be great on le. I have this kit on metallica and really think it adds a lot
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Anyone change out there shooter rod?
Yup
20220727_195518 (resized).jpg20220727_195523 (resized).jpgQuoted from BallyKISS1978:Where did you get that? Or did you make it? Looks awesome
Made it, bought blank shooter from pinball life
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Did you drill a larger hole into the cabinet handle? And then just use epoxy to secure the shooter rod into it? Nice job.
Ya, the handle is hollow, so you need to fill it, then drill to proper depth. 500 plays and holding fine . I just used super glue, that's all I had at the time
Quoted from Vespula:I wish you would rate the video so I don't have to create an account to watch it. I'll order it anyway but it would be nice to see it without having to get vimeo account. Looks like all your videos are restricted to people with accounts only because they're not rated.
Don't need a video account to watch, at least I didnt
