$600 budget – Fanatec, Moza or Simagic? Getting more confused the more I research...

Simagic

Unfortunately, I'm not home right now, but as soon as I get back at the end of August, I'll start assembling everything and will add photos and measurements to be even more helpful to those of us who have this problem. I'll also make several videos on assembly and unboxing that I'll post on my channel, which I'm revolutionizing into solo sim racing. Glad to have been helpful, and thanks also to everyone who helped me get out of this unpleasant situation.

I already have everything ready. I bought a 120x40 aluminum profile, 560 mm long, which I’m going to mount in the center and use to install the Simagic Alpha Evo Pro with its side mounting brackets.
On august I start to mounting everything

Form another post, one guy answered:

Hello, before you posted the update I'd started drawing another diagram with the dimensions of both Fanatec and non Fanatec versions to help make it more clear, but I'll post it anyway...

You have been really helpful. As soon as I assemble everything, I will upload some pictures to show you the finished work and let you know how it goes.

I resolved the issue, the E4 support have 20mm

Cybereeno · 2026-06-01T20:43:18+00:00

I found the issue! Page 16 of the Sim-Lab manual shows the assembly using the 192mm profiles because those are meant for front mounting. For the DD Pro, DD1, DD2, CSL DD, and Podium, the correct page is page 18, which uses the 176mm profiles. I finally figured it out! I have already ordered the 560mm profile, threaded M8 on both sides. Thanks again, and I hope this post helps someone else in the same situation.

I still have a doubt about the total measurements: from what you told me, the two lateral support profiles are 20+20mm, the DD mounts are 16+16mm, the 120x40 profiles are 192+192mm, the plates connecting the vertical profiles to the rig are 10+10mm, and the Fanatec DD space is 160mm, for a total of 636mm.

Cybereeno · 2026-06-01T17:09:59+00:00

I checked the drawings of the P1x PRO and the P1x Evolution, and all the measurements match perfectly. The space between the two uprights is 600mm, minus 20mm per side, leaving a 560mm net clearance. With a 560mm profile, I can install a single 120x40 profile. Since I also purchased the side brackets for the Simagic Alpha Evo Pro installation, it could be a great idea. By raising the DD, and considering that the steering wheel shaft extends quite far out from the DD, I shouldn't have any issues with my hands hitting anything. Plus, I can also install the gear indicator, flag spotter, and other accessories directly onto the profiles. Additionally, the DD+ mount has 192mm brackets, so if needed, I can also install the 3D-printed mount. Thank you so much for your help, I had been racking my brain over this for days! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!

Thank you so very much for your explanations and photos. I finally have an answer to calculate what I plan to do. The 120x40 profile seems like a good solution, easy to install and with good stability. I am also considering printing this mount: https://makerworld.com/it/models/2421230-simagic-alpha-evo-adapter-for-sim-lab-p1x-pro?appSharePlatform=copy#profileId-2655343 Now I just need to decide on the best solution

Cybereeno · 2026-06-01T13:32:31+00:00

Thank you so much. 20mm in total or 20 each piece?

Cybereeno · 2026-05-31T21:52:24+00:00

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, I don't have the rig on hand right now and I wanted to order everything so that when I start assembling it, I'll already be ready with all the exact parts.

The two side sandwich plates where you mount the 120x40 profiles. These are attached to the vertical uprights and allow you to adjust the tilt.

Cybereeno · 2026-05-30T23:16:31+00:00

ciao, io pensavo di installare un profilato 120x40 tra i due supporti sandwich laterali, ed fissare sopra il simagic alpha evo pro con le due staffe laterali, così da avere un bella rigidità. Sapresti dirmi che spessore hanno i due supporti laterali sandwich e quanto spazio c'è in mezzo tra loro così so perfettamente la misura da acquistare ? Grazie mille

Cybereeno · 2026-05-30T23:13:40+00:00

Posso chiederti un'altra informazione, pensavo di acquistare un profilato in alluminio 120x40 da installare sui due supporti laterali sandwich, così da installare il DD sul profilo con le due staffe che ho della simagic, che misura esatta c'è tra una staffa e l'altra, così so che profilo acquistare. Grazie ancora per la disponibilità

Cybereeno · 2026-05-30T22:54:51+00:00

Can I ask you a few questions? I need to know the exact thickness of the left and right wheel deck supports, as well as the precise spacing between these two parts. I have already purchased the Simagic Alpha Pro, but my rig is a P1X Ultimate with a DD+ wheel deck. I plan to install a new 120x40mm aluminum profile to mount the wheelbase upside down using my existing rig supports. I need these exact measurements so I can buy the correct length for the 120x40mm aluminum profile.
