Which sim racing cockpit would you buy?

[GTOmegaTV]

Hey Geek Street, great video and we appreciate the inclusion of ourselves into the video.

We just wanted to add that our wheel stand also has upgradability to a full cockpit if people purchase the rear seat frame. We noticed this information was possibly missed, so just wanted to add it here for you. Keep doing a great job with your content!

Can you make a tutorial on how to buy a rig without your wife leaving you?

[pelvispresley]

I think the playseat trophy is the most aesthetically pleasing to me, has little to no flex and still retains portability, with the optional shifter if desired. I think it's the jack of all trades here, esp paired with the logitech pro wheel/pedals.

I know everyone says to get an alu rig, but they just look too industrial to me and are a PITA to move around.
Thanks for the video!

[jonboy]

I would choose an 80/20 rather than a tubular as it gives you much more versatility with regards to upgrades and adjustability as well as rigidity.

I have a aluminium profile wheel stand from Sim Labs. Love it. Nice and compact. Cost me like £250 with the seat supporter. I don't need a full rig. And a metal chair that is strong so I can stomp on that 200 kgs load cell and the chair can take it no problems and no fatigue either.

I have a version of the first wheel stand and it’s actually upgradeable. It has support bars for extra support with stronger
ffb settings, and I’ve also added on the mount and seat with recline and slider ! I recently went from a Logitech driving force pro from 2005 to a moza r12 and it’s been standing up great even at full ffb in assetto corsa competizione I believe everything was just under $400 usd

[soccersensation]

Awesome video!. I can advocate for the Playseat Trophy Logitech G edition. Perfect for small spaces and no noticeable flex with my Logitech Pro Wheel and Pedals. "Best Rig"

[Team_Reaper.]

i think i should buy some galvanised iron pipes and copy playseat trophy dimensions and make one by my self

[SebastianTheHunter]

I got the GT omega wheel stand and does the job nicely for me having limited space. I got pretty thick carpet so no problems with the seat moving and with it being so small I can easy move it in front of my desk when I want to use it then simply fold it up and put to one side when I'm not.

I am currently using a GT Omega Classic (actually have 2, as I bought a sealed one at an Amazon discount store for $20 CND). I have the older model from about 1-1/2 years ago that did not come with the office chair stopped, so I bought flat replacements for the wheels.
As a side note, not sure about the new GT Omega Classic that has the wheel stopper, but the older one does have a separate (sold separately) seat frame extension. There are also other brand of seat frame extension that fit sold on Amazon.
The main reason I got the Classic was for lack of space. The room my setup is in doubles as my girlfriend and my collectors display room and office area. So the idea of a fold up wheel stand was awesome, until I added extra shelves to it (in all I have the 2 it came with, bought a spare shelf, and added the 2 from the discount set). How (because there isn't enough room them mount them all) and why? How took a lot of planning to get them mounted together. And why, so that I could have my shifter one one, my handbrake beside and at a similar height, a mouse pad shelf and a keyboard shelf.

I just got the next level racing gt elite and it’s dope af now I need the motion base for it

[Silidor]

I believe that the Playseat Evolution is a great budget choice.. It costs around 300€ new and you can get it used for as low as 90€. I got mine used and only required a seat cover as its white leather seat was quite used up (the vinyl coating started falling off).

It's not perfect but it's great for getting into sim racing. It can even support a DD Wheel and minor mods make it even greater.

The Pedal stand is rather flimsy and needs an additional part (wood or whatever) to make it stable.

After seeing the high end rig At the end, I don't think I want any other, ha, ha,
Best rig.

Another great video bro, very helpful 👍🏼
"BEST RIG" 🔥

[spencerverzosa]

“ Best Rig” I just recently purchase the Logitech Challenge X to use with my Logitech G Pro Wheel and it works very well together. Thanks for the reviews as it made it alot easier to make a purchase decision!

[mrmidnight]

All you need to know is do you need foldable/portable or do you have room?

Find a budget and goal. Then find out which has the cheapest shipping/product total. Then buy. One company in EU will kill US buyers for shipping. Vice versa.

[wisllayvitrio]

I ended up with a TR8 Pro just because of the ease of assembly and aesthetics. An 80/20 rig like the TR120 would be more customizable but I didn't want the hassle of taking hours to put everything together and the trouble I'd have in case I need to move it for any reason.

[Simon-lktb]

Oplite gtr 8 infinity force! That's my favorite

[jonathanp]

Best rig out of all those? I really like the Trak Racer TRX with it's tubular structure. Years ago, I used to have Trak Racer's older tubular models (with monitor mount), but there were some welding weak points. Hence I replaced it with Simetik K2-R, which offers good adjustability in a fairly small footprint. I also like its aesthetics. 7:55
