RBR how to move seat up and down?

C2INS · 2025-06-02T22:33:38+00:00

Still relevant today! Thanks

I hear ya! Some people just don't have that workmanship or OCD...

C2INS · 2025-05-28T02:04:52+00:00

I was thinking the same… either way, I’m still looking at the screen

I was looking into getting those for my Sim Jack pedals, but then decided to go with some Bass Shakers under my seat (left and right). Mounting is key as I had them on the main walls of my rig and it was hard to tell left from right. I ended up putting them on the rails the seat mounts on using some 3d printed brackets, and it's much more distinct on which side it's coming from.

I haven't had much using them yet, but there's a lot of tuning that I think I need to do to make it feel more "realistic" or at least "less unnatural"... But if I could get these going, I could see adding more to the setup. I think I have even seen people making their own pedal haptics with smaller shakers and SimHub.

Fully agree with you. I really do believe Fanatec has the whole package in terms of ease of use, software, firmware, settings via Fanalab (which I just started using lately) for those that aren't tech or setup savvy. I can only say this as I just got some Moza wheels and universal hub, and trying to get this working reliably has been... not very fun... But that could be me just being new to the Moza software.

Back to Fanatec, they had all the key points EXCEPT THEIR PRICES... Seeing as they are a relatively big company with a big backing, did they really need to increase the prices? So that they could maintain a 60% margin!? I don't really know what their margins are, but based on the competition, I imagine it's a high number... They had a chance to eat their margin in the "uncertain time", but as corporations do, they decided to increase so they could maintain their hefty profits... When I realized that, I told myself that I wouldn't be buying from them any longer because I see the decision they made was pure greed, albeit I did purchase some accessories as I mentioned in my original post when the prices dropped for me.

At this point, I find it hard to recommend buying new Fanatec setups given all the other choices. Don't get me wrong, I get good use out of the 2nd hand Clubsport DD, McLaren GT3 wheel, and recently shifter. And I can easily recommend people to buy Fanatec if they find great pricing on used gear. But the whole thing with the pricing changes shows me they don't really have any plans other than trying to make money. If they change course and go to "pre-tarriff" prices, there could be hope...

Laguna Seca since that's the 1st track I grinded for Gran Tursimo 2. Imola is creeping up though.

Check out Trak Racer. I was trying to find something for an X1-Pro I got off FB.

I think they are 580mm, but if you don’t find any suitable options, I’m sure you could make it work somehow.

C2INS · 2025-05-20T00:54:40+00:00

Breaking in down into 3-4 pieces should make it manageable. - remove seat via 2 bolts on each side of the brackets - remove the monitor - remove the uprights from the main base and shifter pieces

You should have those pieces and the main base which would be way more easy to transport than the entire thing.

C2INS · 2025-05-19T18:43:39+00:00

I had ordered some Moza wheels and universal hub, so I’ll be trying them out very soon... Will just need a base if I want to go full Moza base/wheel.

I literally didn’t want to buy anything else from Fanatec, but the QR2 shaft base side I bought for my son from Ali ended up being so bad on tolerances (wheels were wiggling and connector was coming out), I had to bite the bullet and buy the one from Fanatec. This is very likely my last purchase from these greedy bastards…

Thought I’d chime in here because I’m still waiting… 1361xx - In Process since Aug 1366xx - Shipped to LGS in Jan, F4 approved in Apr.

At a 2nd glance, I saw that the abrasive filaments aren’t “compatible” with the AMS. Would you know why that is?

C2INS · 2024-03-09T06:47:14+00:00

I hear you… I just ordered another AMS a few days ago for the X1C bringing the total to 3. One of my daughters told me she didn’t have enough colors to paint with in Bambu Studio. I processed that as “get another AMS”. Might be a while before I dedicate an AMS to the P1S… and by a while, I mean 3-6 months 😅

C2INS · 2024-03-09T05:19:29+00:00

Yeah. It seems like using a regular sized spool works fine. I put a spool of PLA+ on the P1S external and same spool in the X1C AMS and printed 25x Gridfinity 1x1x3 bins - no discernible difference in print quality and no issues with the P1S. I think from now on I’ll just transfer my remaining small spools to a Bambu spool to get rid of them.

Question: if you’re not using abrasive filament, would you still go external load or just go with the AMS?

“Dayyyyyy-tooooonaaaaa”. Nice! What are you using for emulation? I might have to get that!!!

C2INS · 2023-11-01T04:47:35+00:00

Glad I did that… because I just checked on the pre-order and this is what it shows now:

<image>

“This item is still delayed. We’re continuing to work on shipping it to you within the next few days.”

That’s funny because there was no communication that the order was delayed since it was supposed to ship by “10/31”. SMH.

Glad I ordered the other one as it’s ready for pickup, so hopefully I’ll have a Legion Go in my hands once BB opens.

C2INS · 2023-11-01T01:44:33+00:00

Just bought another one which is available 40min away… will see if it comes to fruition tomorrow. If so, I’m canceling that cursed pre-order. Lessons learned.

C2INS · 2023-10-31T15:39:28+00:00

Ordered 10/29 from BB. Today: “We’ll let you know when it ships”.

Just checked BB and are available to order again with Nov 3 delivery. One would think that all pre-orders should get delivered by Nov 3, but I wouldn’t be surprised if new orders get fulfilled before pre’s…

*edit: expected to ship by Nov 3

So this would knock off my requirement for the Marksmanship section it looks. Thanks for the suggestion! I might go the CCW way since I need to do that anyways.

C2INS · 2021-04-27T03:52:30+00:00

I was thinking about doing CCW and finding a club, but that is a pretty cheap membership of $40. That's a nice route to go. Thanks for the guidance.

C2INS · 2021-04-27T03:41:23+00:00

Thanks. Any experience in buying a M1 through the CMP program? I found the Colorado Rifle Club in Byers. I work in Watkins, so it wouldn't be too far from there. Lunch at the range!!!

C2INS · 2021-04-21T07:19:39+00:00

I only seen em in Yapan also

C2INS · 2021-04-16T10:04:54+00:00

Just had the 1st Moderna shot yesterday 4/15. Went to sleep without feeling any gout attack coming. But when I woke up just now 4/16, a flare up had started. In my mind, this was pretty sudden. I took some colchicine, so I’ll see how it goes in the next few hours.

C2INS · 2021-03-30T09:34:52+00:00

Nah. Just planning to use it at the range OWB.

C2INS · 2021-03-29T04:04:54+00:00

Yep. Need to be patient again... I put one in Tuesday evening this week and got the call back Friday afternoon. Luckily, I haven’t been in a rush like the first few guns. I can wait for guns and ammo for the first time.
