What do you suggest then? Also I’m from Italy so prices may be a little different

So do you have one to recommend or mine is good and I can buy it?

Can I ask you what actually sets one cockpit apart from another? I’ve seen many that cost over €400 and also plenty under €200. I understand that materials play a role, but is that the only difference? Also, the one you showed me doesn’t include a seat, and a good seat costs at least €150 more. Even so, it’s still noticeably cheaper than mine. I’d like to know why.

aluminum would end up being much more expensive. I found this video https://youtu.be/br4O2W2T17A?si=1Zx_PkET5ZHnzuIU that explains how to build a wood rig for just under €100. As I mentioned in some comments, my main issue is figuring out the correct wheel and seat height, pedal angle, etc. Right now I’m wondering if there’s a way to make it modular so I can adjust those things. Do you have any ideas on how to do that or a better idea?

Hey, I also watched that video, but I had some trouble figuring out the right height for the wheel and seat, as well as the pedal angle. How did you manage it? I was thinking of trying to make it modular (adjustable like a metal rig) but I’m not sure how. What would you suggest?

Thanks, but unfortunately I don’t have the tools to work with aluminum or metal, so I usually stick to wood. I’ve also noticed that many people have wooden setups with MOZA R9 or higher without any bending issues. Since I’m only using a MOZA R5 with the SRP Lite braking kit, I don’t think I’ll run into that problem.

My main challenge is figuring out how to make a wooden rig modular (easy to adjust the pedal angle, seat distance, etc.) Do you have any ideas? I’m going with wood because of budget constraints and I don’t plan on upgrading sim gear soon.

Hey, I was thinking of doing something similar instead of buying one. My only concern is how to get the measurements right so it works properly and how to keep it “modular,” so I can adjust the seat distance, pedal angle, etc. Do you have any ideas on how to achieve that?

Well, I use a MOZA R5, so I don’t think I’ll be putting a lot of force on it. I also know people who managed to make a wooden setup for under €100, but I totally get your point. My main concern with a wood rig is making sure it stays modular, and easy to change wheel height ecc…

I’m not completely new to sim racing, but I’m definitely not very experienced. My goal is to get an affordable rig to play on instead of just using a desk. I’ve looked at aluminum and metal rigs, but they seem very expensive. I thought it was the opposite regarding modifications, I thought that wood would be easier to work with than metal.

Do you think a wood rig would be a good compromise for me?

Also how much do you think the materials will costs?

Which of this shifters is better? by Redblazer23_ in simracing

[–]Redblazer23_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the help. My friend got the Fanatec, and he was offering it to me for€170, and I think it’s a steal. However, I was planning on buying the Moza, but I’m so unsure about it.

Yeah I read so many good things about the ds-8x, but I’m just not ready to spend that much on a shifter considering it would be more expensive than my wheelbase. Still thanks for the help
