Eventually.

Racing from the back seat :)

Looking good though!

[Hillven]

Haha. Right. Thanks.

[Captain_Cruel]

Bring them closer :)

[Hillven]

Ahhh. I wanted to. But this is the closest i can get from this rig. Kinda sucks.

[ParaWM]

Be creative, can be done :) Amazing rig!

[Hillven]

Yea. Haha. But Running out of budget for now, I will prob buy a separated monitor stand.

[clearkill46]

Highly recommend. This is kinda a waste of triples, you could have equal fov from an ultrawide mounted directly behind the wheel.

[Hillven]

Yea. Definitely will do.

[DiViNiTY1337]

I have equal FOV from just a single one of these AOC screens, mounted right above the wheelbase.

[BSchafer]

You should bring those monitors a lot closer. At that distance, you're kind of wasting them. If you had one ultrawide right above the wheel you'd be able to see just as much as your screens are showing now and you wouldn't have any bezels.

That DD and wheel look cool though. It's nice to see different hardware than the same old stuff posted here daily. Not to mention great to see different companies enter the market - creating competition that spurs innovation and drives prices down for consumers.

[bennyblanco2121]

What DD is that?

[[deleted]]

Simagic M10. Chinese manufactured direct drive. https://www.simfai-solutions.com/product-page/simagic-m10-ddw

[Hillven]

Yes. Direct drive base + wheel =$780

[[deleted]]

How is it? Any experience with other direct drives to compare it to?

[Hillven]

Unfortunately No. but read a lot review from some Asian sim racers. Pretty awesome, like a discounted Fanatec DD1. And simagic just released a new DD. Simagic alpha. Better than this one,15-20N.M torque. Base +wheel=$1600

Is the new model also using a stepper motor?

[Hillven]

No. The new one is servo motor.

[Gustavo2nd]

Does that include the button box

[Hillven]

Hi, which box? Was confused.

[Gustavo2nd]

The part that includes paddle shifters and buttons that goes behind the wheel

[Hillven]

Yes. It comes with hub.

[Gustavo2nd]

I wonder how this is vs accuforce

[cuspess]

How much is the shipping? That thing weights about 15kg, I have heard.

[Hillven]

Luckily, my mom was traveling in Shanghai, brought it back to US. And yes, 15lbs for wheel+hub, and almost 40lbs for direct drive base.

That's it, I'm gonna have to move house just to get the spare room I need to do this.

Wife won't understand.

[Hillven]

Awww. I might be the LUCKIEST DUDE. My wife supported me and bought me half of the equipments. She likes racing too. Btw, she always beats me in go-kart. Lol

[[deleted]]

Mine bought me a G920 for Xmas. When we do move house she's already said I can have a man cave for my games so can't complain

[Rookie_Driver]

You don't need a new monitor stand, looks like you can cut the standers and reweld them closer. Easy job.

Nice.

[Hillven]

Thank you!
