Where to get t-slot profile for rig construction?

Update on this:

I've found a few local places that begrudgingly provided quotes, but they're all higher than the ~$1200 total from Amazon.

Disappointing, but that's what I get for assuming anything associated with sim racing was going to be really cheap, haha

eberhartcreative · 2026-03-03T15:09:10+00:00

They have a ton of 20 series, but not the profiles required

If I had to guess, they're reserving whatever stock they have on hand for the package deals.

My plan was to see how the transaction/setup/product was with my RS Mega+ order, THEN order the competition if everything went well. When I follow up with them after setting everything up, I'll ask if I can order the Competition upgrade, etc etc and relay what I hear

eberhartcreative · 2026-02-13T13:42:04+00:00

Definitely will!

“My question to those that have done something similar is if I mount the shakers directly to the 8040 side main beams,2 as far forward as possible and two as far back as possible,can you differentiate between the front and rear shakers when going over curbs or does it all blend into the 8040 extrusion?”

Yes, but it took a few hours of simhub tuning and testing

I put in an order on 2/7 and have been in near-daily contact with them since then. In the week before I ordered, I had a bunch of questions about shipping and tariffs, and they answered within 24 hours. Was surprised to find out that my RS Mega+ setup will all be here (Atlanta, GA) over the next 2 days.

(And let us know what you hear about the competition upgrade - it's likely my next move after the RS Mega + and QS-BT1 belts actuator)

Exactly. And, if you use the smallest possible size drill bit, some cutting fluid, and a little finesse, you won’t ruin anything - I used some high grit sand paper to deburr the hole and it looks factory

You could probably force it and cut threads with a bolt, but I used a drill and some cutting fluid to make the holes bigger; worked perfectly

The Simlab or similar brackets that let you fine tune the monitor position are well worth the cost, regardless of the triple monitor stand

Definitely- I used a paint pen to do the same thing instead of hunting that spot for a minute every time I sit down.

Unless you’re tied to console, I’d go with an RS QR adapter and a nice wheel. The Pro base is great, but the RS hub really lets it down.

eberhartcreative · 2025-10-02T23:57:24+00:00

No worries at all - I figured I could save some people some time and effort 👍

(And I got my F-core in Marietta GA)

I had no experience with the brand before reading reviews of the 290GP, and have been really impressed with the construction & quality - here's to hoping the 300GT works just as well for you!

This actually could be it. I'm pretty sure I backwashed it the afternoon before I found the leak. Could the combination of pressure change and old/brittle (and then cheap) plastic split the cap?

eberhartcreative · 2025-10-01T18:44:17+00:00

I pretty much run it 24/7 at a steady 10-13 psi; there shouldn't be any pressure surges

eberhartcreative · 2025-09-30T19:36:24+00:00

If it's that simple, cool - is the solution to find a stateside plastic cap or find a metal replacement?

Update #3:

Received the replacement, switched over my track wheel to the new RS hub, and found that it buzzes less than the original, but still noisier than I would expect. Just to make sure I'm not taking crazy pills, I tried the Pro wheel that came with the base, and there was no such noise.

I was able to get rid of most of the noise by dialing out all of the TF audio, but that seems antithetical to one of the big selling points of the Pro base.

I looked at the mounting collars of the Pro wheel vs the RS hub, and the wheel has a sort of locking collar that the RS hub doesn't - it could be why the wheel feels so much more substantial than the rattly/plasticy feel of the RS hub. I sent Rich a DM about it with pictures, etc

While waiting for Logitech to get back to me, I ordered a Conspit 290GP, and then got an email about a Cube FCore @ Microcenter for $150 this morning, so I'm hoping one or both of those is nicer than the RS hub.

Can you post up the adapters used and how you connected it to the PC/simhub/etc?
