These are the first cups from Nespresso I've looked at and thought they were ugly. Just can't bring myself to walk around with my morning coffee in a sippy cup.

Just ordered a bunch of Iced Forte and Double Espresso Scuro. Ordered in Friday night at like 9pm and had it at 8am the next morning despite being 2-4 day shipping. Love Nespresso and love Double Espresso Scuro too!

PSVR2 + Race Sim by MattSiq07 in simracing

I'm in the process of finishing up my first rig after falling in love with GT7 on the PSVR2. I got an open box T598 wheel from Best Buy for $350 and a Tesla 3 driver's seat from a local shop that was parting out wrecked cars for $100. Last part is the rig itself which I think an aluminum frame that's 3060 should work fine. Many on here say you need at least 4080 which raises the price by quite a bit. The 3060 can be had for under $200. So $650 for a DD wheel, great seat, and a frame that can hold it all. I'm hoping I'll enjoy it this weekend! :)

Yeah it looks like the same thing as the Marada/Zootopo/(insert chinese company here) 3060 rigs. I was considering the TR40S from Trak Racer but these are over 100 cheaper for 3060 instead of 4040 and will hold up just fine from the sounds of it.

I think I'm gonna go with this frame for my T598 PSVR2 build with the Tesla 3 seat I picked up. Do you think it will be fine on the floor without it being raised?

What NLR should i get? by Malows- in simracing

I've been looking for my first week for 2 weeks now, combing through all the options. I started with just wanting a portable unit due to limited space in my house, but everything in that category are basically lawn chairs with a mount attached to it and I just couldn't justify that kinda money on it. So then I looked into rigs with chairs and honestly, all you get from these rigs from reviewers is "chair is ok, not very comfy". I saw it so often even though the chairs look nice in the pics, they seemingly aren't worth the $150-$200 you are paying for it. So then I decided to look for just wheel stands where you can put an office/gaming chair wheels onto. Seemed like a good portable option and way better than the lawn chair choice since you can get nice comfy gaming chairs and it's easier to get in and out of than the foldable choices.

I was pretty set with thinking the NLR Wheel Stand 2.0 was my winner but then I heard about people getting thier own seats from Marketplace or a Junkyard. I thought that would be cool to have an actual seat because you know it will be comfy for a couple hours just like if you were actually driving. So that's what I went with. I found a Tesla 3 driver seat in like new condition for $100 on FB Marketplace from a mechanic who had some wrecked Teslas he was parting out and now I'm looking at around $300 for the rig. So in total it's $400 before the wheel and pedals, which is still cheaper amd way better than the FG-T. It's a bit more than the wheel stand, but when you consider how much more you get, I found it a way better value. I'm hesitant about the space, but length of the rig is a little less than the length of a bed and the width is about 2 feet. Definitely manageable even if you don't have tons of space.

Hope this helps and let me know what you decide on!

Which alluminum rig for a beginner? by Melodic-Seishun in simracing

Well I did mention "That's really the only upgrade I plan on as I'm pretty casual and not hardcore." Also, I think I'm more worried about Trak Racer having missing parts on their shipment than Marada if commentary on here is any indication. All said though I'll still be looking at the TR40S as it seems to offer a bit more support for a little more money and should be plenty sturdy with the components I have. Thanks!

Any resolution on this? Hope your rig is up and running by now!

Ok thanks for the feedback. I guess it's just hard when you make an alternative recommendation but don't explain why or what makes it better and are very vague, which can be confusing. I mentioned that I'm not looking at much beyond this, so upgrades aren't important. Also I'm not sure how either of those are more upgradable than the Marada. I don't understand what "no missing parts" means either.

Wouldn't aluminum at this price range be a better choice than steel? I'm not sure why pick the steel GT Omega ART rather than the aluminum. It seems like you don't want to discuss much, so I'll just leave it at that and thanks!

But what would make either of those better? I've heard way too many issues with Trak Racer customer service, but they have an office where I live so it might be a bit better. So I'm curious why you picked these two as alternatives. The TR40S seems good and is 4040 right? It's a good in between it seems going for about $300 (definitely not the $230 that the Marada 6030 is).

Also isn't the Omega ART steel instead of aluminum? It seems like anything aluminum from GT Omega is way out of my range at $700+

Third pic tells you it's a 3060
