Gonna try and pick up the materials today and give it try this evening. My wheel arrives in a couple of days, so I'm pretty excited! Thanks for the video!
All u need is a racing seat. Which can easily be gotten at any junkyard. I'm working on a huge rig at the moment. This definitely gave me some more ideas. Thanks man.
Thanks very much, I used a malamine base. I used 3 lengths of the thin wood (cut last brace from the left-over of the bench plate). I have 'Goliath' locking pins for the four knee joints to collapse right down. This works perfectly
Fun fact of the day: My original car simulator build video is my 3rd most viewed video! Thought I'd mention that before people inevitably say this seems out of place on the channel. Enjoy!
Thank you so much dude. I finished it today it fits perfect nice and stable and (for me) only 20 euros and they sell shitty ones made out of metal for 85 so thank you so much it will help me so much
I once used my mums old sit up exercise machine. Took it apart moved a couple parts about n bolted a old piece of window sill to it. Had foam and pads already fitted n could also fold down because of how it was already designed to pivot wen exercising
I Made a playseat using some old plywoof to make the base,wheel stand, TV stand, and pedal platform. and also made a custom molded seat using wood for the general shape, and using two XL vacuum seal bags taped together filled with polystyrene bean bag beans, filled with resin, then made a fiberglass copy of it. just like real formula 1 seats but on a budget.
Great video, Im thinking of making something even simpler (but have zero wheel sim racing experience) by just attaching a small U shaped piece of bar to a base. So I can then sit on the bar and wedge a wheel -base onto my lap. Probably cant have ff but I think its the simplest, most portable solution?
For the base I would suggest to use some kind of tiles, maybe some stone tiles. Then it would stand rigid enough and don´t slide in any direction. But beside of that, great showing!
There are plenty of good racing seats for your SIM setup at local auto junkyards. Good "ride height" and support at the right price. Just bolt to the floor.
Yah my problem is I have a recliner snd my coffee table is very close to my recliner. The front to back with this is too long unfortunately any other ideas?
Reply asap, it's good ur posting but trying to build but instructions r unclear about the holes and I can't get the measurements on your cad drawing, only get a model
cool video and great plans. I'm curious- do you know how high off the floor the seating surface for your couch is? A higher seating surface would necessitate either raising the base (thicker material, etc.) or making modifications to the lengths of the stand pieces.
Hey Kyle, could you do a video about why most drag cars don't seem to use wings to get more traction off the line? I know top fuel does, but most other classes don't seem to. Surely even massive drag tires can't handle the 2,000+ horsepower being put out by a lot of these vehicles.
the only change i would (and will) make is making a dedicated shifter mount that hangs next to you and can be easing taken off for transportation. i would hate having my shifter next to the wheel itself
Is simracing really worth it? I understand how hight simulation quality is today, but I thought that performance driving is guided primarily by acceleration feel (that "feeling car with your butt" thing), but sim gives you visual input only.
I can tell you right now that Sim driving is BEYOND worth it. Sim driving has made be a better driver myself IRL. one thing that I realized myself when using a driving simulator is that "you have to treat the simulator as if it was real life, and treat real life as if it was the simulator". you learn alot of things in the simulator like steering wheel feel, you feel what understeer feels like and you learn to listen for wheel slip and pedal feel. the most valuable thing about sim driving is you get all the driving experience without having to spend money on a real car to practice on and maintain, gas and tires, and giong to the track, you can just wake up and walk to your living room. hope this helps.
good point about Lada :D it's just that sim will cost u much less than Lada repair ) not to mention you'll never be able to drift like crazy over the forest doing 160 kph ))
I'd hate to say this, but no shit it will fit the G25, (that you forgot) G27, G29, and G920, but they are the same damn thing give or take a few buttons that are now missing on the G29/920. Not mention that would hold 90% of the wheels on the market if not all. Other than that it's a fucking genius idea nice job.
the material is far tooo expensive these days, so i am better off getting one for my g920 for my xbox one thats made of steel and easy fold away when not in use!!
"Under about AU$50 which is about US$0.03..." LOL Good one!!!
Donn Alfred Mendoza yeah lol it's 38 dollars
That literally made me LOL! :)
Typical yank, knows nothing

that 3 us cents joke fucking killed me mate, also gonna give this a go just got my first racing wheel

Nice video tutorial. I was thinking of creating one myself. And it's not really out of place, maybe a bit. At least it has steering wheel.

You are an absolute legend! Thanks a lot for the model
Just built it. Perfect for my chair! Many thanks! ✌️😎
Do u have a dd? How is it holding up?

Mate this is perfect I have the steering wheel just no stand and my shifter is coming in a couple of days and I am going to make that. Thanks

That looks pretty good! And it folds away! My PVC rig is super unsightly, permanent and looks like a wirey mess...

i just bought a foldable table for 12 bucks works perfect plus i can have my mouse on the side
I’m just gonna use this for when I get my wheel so I can use it until the playseat challenge arrives thank you so much hope I’ll get it right!!!
if i didn’t want to build one using 2x4, couldn’t i in theory use a old dresser or night stand and just bolt the pieces into it?
Yah my problem is I have a recliner snd my coffee table is very close to my recliner. The front to back with this is too long unfortunately any other ideas?
Hi Kyle, great video! Is there anyway I can get the layout drawing?
Reply asap, it's good ur posting but trying to build but instructions r unclear about the holes and I can't get the measurements on your cad drawing, only get a model
cool video and great plans. I'm curious- do you know how high off the floor the seating surface for your couch is? A higher seating surface would necessitate either raising the base (thicker material, etc.) or making modifications to the lengths of the stand pieces.
You could put a number of holes in the back support to make it height adjustable.
what are the sizes of the bolts and nuts?
Why does that matter though???
Are there any mesurements??
you could just add two planks from the base towards you, like skies, n itll stabalize

What's the space between the front brackets and back brackets on the board
I use a freaking iron table to attach my G29
THANKYOU!!!
Howww
where you get the steering wheel from?
the only change i would (and will) make is making a dedicated shifter mount that hangs next to you and can be easing taken off for transportation. i would hate having my shifter next to the wheel itself
Do you printout of the dimensions

I am asking because i am living in Siberia, and thanks to Tzar's insanity initial costs of simracing and Lada with welded diff is roughly the same.
What sim would you recommend?
good point about Lada :D it's just that sim will cost u much less than Lada repair ) not to mention you'll never be able to drift like crazy over the forest doing 160 kph ))
Iracing all the way
My man out here building a whole thing when he could just attach the wheel to that saw horse he has.

are you in perth
I will pick a “grippy grip”
As we all should. Plz grippy grip responsibly
eh you play Ice hockey ? or lacrosse ...there a chest gard drying in you garage :) ...good video
Good one
Also if one is lucky, the hardware/timber store may cut the wood for you too!
Nice
Where can I get the plans for this mate?
great vid, my friend.
Bloody brilliant. Unfortunately I have the aptitude of a snark when it comes to woodworking.
could i make this adjustable too? if so how?
Add more holes were the nuts and bolts should go and the. You could move the bolts up and down
Why does this remind me of the BBQ Homer Simpson built?
HAHAHA the joke about the prices, that’s funny as 😂
Yo I was the 667th like. I fixed the problem, no more evil number hahah.
Thank you. I've been seeing 666 everywhere lately since I learnt that the world is run by Luciferians and worse :(
You’re welcome
Does anyone know if this piece is used to adapt an omp racing wheel or i need more stuffs? www.amazon.es/dp/B08L1D2977?ref=myi_title_dp
I was the 1.4k liker lol
nice perfect
in 2021 that build is probably more expensive than the stand itself lol
Damn that gearstick is loud
I’m making this then save up for a steering wheel.
With the cost of wood now. This cost more than buying a professional frame
I know Americans are the odd ones out not using metric, but it was funny hearing metric as a unit of measurement for lumber
Cheap or in other words ... more expensive than buying one new at the store
Or just buy a wheelstand from aliexpress for 50$ that is full metal
would you pls have a link for that one?
the material is far tooo expensive these days, so i am better off getting one for my g920 for my xbox one thats made of steel and easy fold away when not in use!!
needa fix your wheel you shouldnt have to turn it 360 degrees just to turn left or right

The best thing I've found on the net was plans from stodoys.
This is the most ragetty thing ever. And its not even firm dude.
Mitre. That is all.
