That’s because Sprint sim pedals can handle more load than the pedal base on this rig is designed for which, is why it’s flexing a little. The video demonstrates the problem suffice it to say I upgraded my rig shortly after upgrading the pedals. The flex of this pedal base (attached to an RSEAT RS1 cockpit) is around 4 degrees at a 25kg brake force. Note the movement of the pedal base as I apply the brakes: If you’re not sure what flex looks like, check out this video I made while recording a how-to heel and toe article. This can create what we refer to as flex, the unintended movement of the rig itself under duress. Higher-end sim racing wheelbases and pedals tend to create far higher forces (in some cases up to 30nm torque on the steering wheel and between 25 to 120kgs on the pedals). My sim racing rig with trolley wheels (recommended) and some LED strip lightsĪbove all other things, rigidity is crucial. When you pick your seat and frame, keep in mind the available space you have, how powerful your equipment is, and how much you want to spend. What are the best sim racing rigs (cockpits) at the moment? For the lowest priced, but very high quality, we love the rigs coming from. If you’ve just come for a quick recommendation, I’d always say check out our preferred starter chassis, the Sim Lab GT1 Evo, and/or the pro sim racer’s choice, the P1-X. It is possible to buy a sim racing rig as a separate unit or as part of a bundle package with a seat, and in certain cases, some other accessories too. Sim racing rigs (or “sim racing cockpits” – the chassis upon which you mount all of your racing simulator gear) come in many shapes and sizes, with a huge variety of choices in terms of build quality, strength, rigidity, and of course price.
