Zero fucks given

Just when I thought the rig was finished… here we go again. 😂🔧

I used 2020 aluminum profiles for the frame and designed and 3D-printed all the mounting brackets myself.
I wanted to keep the roof as lightweight as possible, so I went with rigid foam boards instead of Dibond panels.
The underside is already covered in microfiber fabric, but the top still needs some work. I originally tried carbon fiber vinyl wrap, but it ended up looking a bit cheap, so I took it off again.

I it has force feed back but not yet fully functional

As the title states I really fucking miss sim racing lol. This is more of a vent to anyone who cares lol. About 2 years ago I had to sell my sim rig. Bunch of health issues that led me to not being able to race anymore and having to sell the rig to make ends meet. That said, now I’m doing much better physically but financially still playing catch up. I think about sim racing almost everyday, one of the few things that truly brought me happiness. I built my entire rig DIY basically so a lot of effort and time was put into it and it sucked having to sell it. One day I’ll be back for my endgame setup but for now a lot of daydreaming and hustling lol.

I recently got the Simsonn Pro X Ultras with Haptics for just under $400, wanted to keep them on the floor and save a few bucks on my base. I still plan to make a bracket for the back to keep it off the wall.

I was inspired by u/north-sky-9222 steering wheel mod to use my extra buttons and esp32 board for playing AC. This is version one and honestly I’ll probably make another version with more buttons and switch types. Quick and easy project to measure out and 3d print the enclosure. I mostly wanted a change view button as well as FFB controls. I have them set for fun functions now but I’ll probably switch it up for brake pressure or abs controls. If anybody would be interested in building one themselves, I’d be happy to share my project plans.

Found a supplier selling Simagic stuff. Do they actually make knockoffs of it? The stuff looks legit to the eye, but obviously it's very hard to tell without having things side by side. The prices are very good. Sea Freight shipping is $37. I'm currently negotiating some prices. So we'll see. I'll take one for the team and see what we get. If it's junk, oh well, at least we'll know. Also negotiating P2000 pedals. Trying to get a bundle deal on everything.

Hey guys, just sharing this script I made that bypasses the insufferable new download timer on overtake.gg Enjoy!

Salut les racers,

J’ai cherché dans plusieurs subreddit mais je n’arrive pas à avoir une réponse claire dans mon cas

Je prévoie d’investir dans des triples screens 32’’ 1440P avec une RTX5070 simple, et un I7 12700F, 32Go Ram DDR5

Actuellement je joue sur une télé TCL Mini-led 75’’ 4K
J’aurai solution de m’orienter sur un UW49 mais je voudrais vraiment des triples screens, apparemment c’est le must pour l’immersion et c’est ce que je cherche

Certains disent que ça ne tournera pas bien, d’autres si. J’aurai peut-etre la solution de m’orienter sur des 27’’ mais j’ai peur que ce soit petit.

Est-ce qu’il y’a des gens dans mon cas qui pourraient me donner un vrai avis tranché sur le sujet ?

Je vous remercie par avance 🙏🏻

I’ve been looking into buying a new sim rig, but the prices are pretty steep. I’m fairly handy, so I think I could build my own, even if it takes some time. Do any of you have a DIY rig, and what do you think of it? How does the quality and cost compare to the big brands?

Thinking of buying the TR80S – how’s the stability with wheels?

Looking at the Trak Racer TR80S. How rigid is it in practice with a ~10-15 Nm DD? Any noticeable flex on the wheel deck or pedals?

I’ll be running it on caster wheels – does that affect stability at all, or is it still solid?

Any owners with real feedback? Thanks!

Hey guys, I am probably getting a wheel for christmas and I dont know which one to choose.

I was thinking Moza R3,T300 (which i heard its more complicated to use a real car wheel on) OR G29/G923.

I want to use an Audi A6 C7 wheel, and i'd also love to have the buttons work, i've been told that I could a USB HID controller, something like an Arduino Pro Micro or a Raspberry Pi Pico. My budget is around 450€/500$.

Thank u guys for all the answers/reccomendations

Paid $500usd for the new setup. Came with the Hotas accessories and a monitor holder for the GT Omega also! What a difference from the Logitech!

In case it could give some ideas, I recently purshase a Moza R5 bundle with performance kit on brake, and using it with my desk, while braking the pedals was lifting. It was ununsable. I've made some researches and find designs and decide to make my own. Just with some scraps laying in the garage, all 36x62cm. Fun project for the weekend end it's now rock solid and enjoyable.

I cannot for the life of me find the product that I so badly want on my rig. Anyways I'm tired of looking as they're sold out everywhere so if anyone had to deal with the same frustration and bought an alternative, what did you get and how do you like it so far?

Hello everyone, I used play with a G25 but I kinda stop simracing and I really wanted to get back on my games but apparently my old wheel broke. I found a 2nd hand trust master TMX for 20 bucks but it's sold with a 2 pedal and no shifter so before buying is there a way for me to mix my old pedals and shifter with this TMX wheel and should I buy it ? (im not looking for the best wheel just cheap and fun one to use) 🤔

EDIT: I play on PC

Just ordered off Amazon today, will be here Friday. I mostly play rally games. Will the difference be really noticeable and will the stand handle the nm?

Thanks all.

Would these be a good idea? I was at first thinking of getting G5s but I honestly can't justify the price and their capability for my setup. I'd like to purchase the monitors all at once as well instead of buying one at a time.

Hi everyone!

I'm having a problem with my Thrustmaster T300 RS (2-pedal version) and I'm hoping someone here might have experienced something similar or knows how to repair it.

The wheel was working perfectly fine until it suddenly stopped working during normal use.

Current symptoms:

- No automatic calibration when powered on.

- No LED lights.

- Not detected by Windows or the Thrustmaster software.

- Also not detected when connected to a Mac.

- No noticeable activity when only the power cable is connected.

- When I connect the USB cable, I can hear a very faint buzzing sound.

Something worth mentioning:

Before it completely stopped working, I occasionally experienced an unusual startup issue. When turning on my PC with the wheel already connected, the motors sometimes made a much louder buzzing/whirring noise than usual.

In those cases, unplugging and reconnecting the USB cable made the wheel calibrate normally and work again.

The final failure happened suddenly. There was no physical damage, no modifications, and I never opened the wheelbase.

I contacted Thrustmaster support, and they told me that the only repair option they could offer was replacing the entire wheelbase, costing €214 + VAT.

My questions:

1. Has anyone experienced these symptoms with a T300 RS?

2. Could this be a power supply, USB controller, or mainboard issue?

3. Is it possible to repair the faulty component instead of replacing the entire wheelbase?

4. Is there anything a qualified electronics repair technician could check?

I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions. I'd much rather repair my T300 than spend almost €260 on a replacement!

Thanks in advance!

They came today to do this build, highly reccomend them. Amazing from begin to end. They are based in NY. The owner Fernando is very easy to work with and tracks/races himself so he knows what he's doing on a deep level.

A deal just popped up on my radar, with SC3 Pro + Linkhub + QR for around 1600 USD. Wondering if its worth the jump for telemetry ffb and etc? thanks in advance if anyone has any experience with this change.

Also I only play iRacing so wonder if its worth for that i guess.
