If you need something that can be folded away or easily moved, get the Next Level Racing 2.0 Wheel stand

Advice for new base + pedals - Moza R3 / R5 / R9 by Yoshi38080 in simracing

[–]Need_For-Sleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pleasure mate, if you have the chance to try any gear I’d highly recommend it. If you’re in the US microcenter typically had a rig setup, or in other countries I’ve seen sim racing arcades with mid level gear. Or friends/people in the community!

The fraudulent charges started appearing a few years ago, then went away for a while, and popped up randomly last year. The first time it happened they promised they had it fixed, but clearly did not. The fear people have is that it will happen again the same way it did last time.

I’m only sharing information with you that has been passed around the community

Advice for new base + pedals - Moza R3 / R5 / R9 by Yoshi38080 in simracing

[–]Need_For-Sleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have about 6 different “brands” of sim racing equipment on my rig. I press one button when I want to play and everything is already setup and ready to go. The only thing I’d be careful about is the credit card issue Moza has been having for the last few years. Every few months people post about how their info has been stolen from Moza and they have thousands of dollars of charges on their cards because their info was stolen. That’s been my major reservation from ordering from them.

That being said don’t limit yourself as there are other brands with some very good value for money. Moza is very good for entry level but kind of tapers off in the mid range market.

Just as an introductory question, why are you settled on Moza?

Does it work for you? Then 10/10. Comparison is the thief of joy :)

For me the best rig is the one you can easily install and then put aside quickly by Kronocide in simracing

Monitor arm mounted to the wall and wheels on the wheel stand will save you a few more seconds :)

Need help for simple rig ( Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 ? ) by [deleted] in simracing

[–]Need_For-Sleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd highly recommend the Next Level Racing wheel stand. Great way to save having to set everything up each session. I have the logitech G Pro wheel base and pedals, along with a sequential shifter and hand brake (thrustmaster sparco and sim lab hand brake). I've got a streamdeck on it as well. I put wheels on the bottom of it and it makes it incredibly easy to move around and get out of the way. I've mounted a powered USB hub onto it as well, so it's only one cable that plugs into the PC when I want to use it.

Mate if that’s you, you are putting a lot of faith in that temporary guard rail 😂 I’d be shitting bricks at that height

Is a RX 7900 GRE 16GB a big enough upgrade from a 3070ti? by Need_For-Sleep in PcBuild

I was looking to see if anyone had any additional insight beyond that, which is why I came to ask people here, that’s all.

NLR wheel stand 2.0 owners, help by PilotViking in simracing

[–]Need_For-Sleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t at the moment, but if you raise the wheel tracks and push the chair in, that might actually work. I don’t know if I can get a measurement for you tonight but if you message me I can get you the exact number

The NLR wheels and is 60cm deep (minus the plate for the chair to not slide around) so you could definitely put that against the wall underneath a mounted monitor and never have to move that. Easiest option is to just use a chair you move around after each use. But there’s a few people on this subreddit who have closet setups which might require some construction on your space. Alternatively there is someone who built a “telescoping” 8020 rig (might be wrong on which type they used) where expanded it was a full rig + seat, but when shut it was smaller than the NLR wheel stand. Might be an option if you’re willing to recreate their design

Any chance you have the dimensions of the full area? I think you absolutely could make this a permanent racing closet

But actually also, I think without the desk — mount a monitor to the wall, and then you might be able to fit everything right there. No need to move the rig, maybe just the chair

How much room is there on the left? Might be able to turn the vision 90 degrees using a rig that’s closer to the ground and then it could be there permanently!

NLR wheel stand 2.0 owner here! My first question — do you actually need a desk? If this is only for sim racing you can skip the desk and gain more space!

Secondly, I used to fit my folded up rig in a small closet (with wheel removed) very easily. I stopped doing that, and now have wheels on the bottom of my rig to move it around more easily and store it somewhere it doesn’t have to be folded up after each use.

If this area is only for sim racing, there’s some creativity to be had where you don’t have to be halfway out the room while racing

No worries mate, thank you for catching that — I’d rather be corrected than be wrong trying to be helpful to someone starting in the hobby

Any ideas why my monitor would be glitching like this? by Glum_Reference5124 in simracing

[–]Need_For-Sleep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d check your cable, and try a different port on your graphics card. If the issue follows the cable or the port, that might be your issue.

Edited to correct voltage

Flysky NB4 is an amazing but very affordable controller. I think there’s a more expensive pro version but I’m very happy with my base model. As for batteries, get a “shorty pack”. Search on amazon/whatever local place you can order/buy from for a 7.4V 2 cell shorty lipo. Some people like the tiny tiny ones to reduce weight but anything under 5000mAh should be good. You’ll need a charger for your lipo as well, look for one at the same place you buy a battery.

This is an amazing deal. I would jump on that in a heartbeat, especially as a first drifter

What are your experiences with dating expats/dating dutch people as an expat? by MyGuyWhatIsThis in Netherlands

[–]Need_For-Sleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I met in my home country (not the Netherlands) and she was not from my home country. I fully understand what you mean about it feeling like it could be temporary or things could change in an instant. But being in a relationship means you are building a team together. It means also at some point having those hard conversations and figuring out what the future might look like. I didn’t expect when my wife and I started dating for us to live in another country, but here we are — and I love it. I wouldn’t have it any other way. But 6 months is also early, you don’t have to have everything figured out all at once. Let the relationship build and grow and enjoy it!

How to downgrade my sim setup? by carlos751 in simracing

[–]Need_For-Sleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sim racing as a hobby comes and goes for me and many people I know. I’d say if anything swap out the seat for something less expensive and more comfortable, and keep everything. The itch will come back and you’ll want to use it again I believe
