“Don’t make the perfect the enemy of the good” Great quote!
story of my life
Nice observation, from Voltaire my google search says...
I somehow play racing games on a rolling chair, and mount my shifter and wheel to a desk
Welcome to the club of super low budget sim racers :D
@@damgam98 yes
How does the shift at wheel level feel?
@@HieronymousLex quite good tbh... Less distance for hand between wheel and shifter xd
@@HieronymousLex I'm used to it now but when I drive it gonna feel weird, especially the feel
Still using a filthy G29 hold in place by a flat stone and still beating people with 5k euro of setups .
@Zwenk Wiel there is always competition in Racing Simulators ,immersion is good , but buying a stick made of steel to hold a steering wheel ...that's not immersion is just the most confortable way to not lose control of ur car in a game .
You want immersion open your pocket and Get one of the Vesaro Motion Rig...if u can pay 30k ...thats immersive.
Just how Takumi beats all the driver with more expensive cars than him. All these normies are gonna say expensive is better when irl if you have better skills than you should upgrade to better things.
If anybody needs a cheap way to mount a wheel I use a $25 metal music stand to mount my wheel on and put the pedals in front of the base of the stand to keep them from moving around
Cmon we all know you gave GM way more than just a "half serious half joke offer"...
...you gave him your heart ;D
budget gang no handbrake drifto
Budget gang auto drifto
I use the fixed buttons on the wheel base so I don’t have to hit a moving target..I’m saving for tss handbrake...I already have the thrustmaster sim hub and Th8a...I’m on ps5 so I need it all hooked to the wheel.
@@billygames7107 button on wheel base? This isn't a g29/g920 right? I think all the buttons are on the wheel with those models
@@treerexaudi no. I mean the t150 or t300 bottom right of the base. That way you can take right hand off wheel and hit it like a handbrake button. It’s the best option of no hb available..✌🏼
@@billygames7107 Ah ok cool
A few words: Logitech MOMO FFB Wheel. Excellent for its used price.
Just bought a second hand Playseat Evo with all the upgrades including a floormat for 100 euros ;). The thing is as good as new. Pretty good deal imo.
that was an absolute steal
Meanwhile i'm drivingwith ny G29 attached to my desk, while my ass sits on small chair... And with pedals on the floor xD
#BudgetSimRacing
same thing except I have metal folding chair
my last wheel broke and it didnt have ffb anyways and now im sitting here with nothing wanting to play assetto corsa and or iracing but cant lol
@@treerexaudi good job I do the Same but I have to roll forward after each time a brake hard
@@J.A-CA139 yours has wheels?
you can use a few blocks in front or back of the chair to stop it from rolling, or even get a set of casters with locks
Great vid, some useful information in there. Completely agree that a load cell is the first thing you should upgrade if your pedals don't have one. This will necessitate hard mounting your pedals. When buying a stand be aware that folding stands lack the rigidity of their fixed position counterparts. All the wheelstands I've used have some movement but it's not necessary to spend loads of money to get one that's sufficiently sturdy. Movement is bad as it makes it harder to feel the finer details of the ForceFeedback from the wheelbase. If you've got room/budget a Playseat Challenge or similar cockpit is foldable but has very good rigidity for it's price.
Personally, I'd put pedals above wheelbase on the list of upgrade priorities. A loadcell brake will (usually) have more impact on your performance than a wheelbase. Same goes for a cockpit or chassis. Having a solid base and good driving position will make a bigger difference than many people think. Of course, the wheelbase and rim are the things you see and feel the most so they usually get the most attention, but don't neglect the rest of the rig. New sim racers need to learn the difference between what will help performance, and what will help immersion. Often, high end stuff will be more immersive and pretty to look at, but won't perform any better than much more affordable options.
In use the exact same stand from Ikea and it is fine with my wheel, it doesnt move much and it is perfectly balanced. It is a great option if you are on a budget!
Exceptional budget & DIY ideas product knowledge tutorial. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise of valuable and helpful education with the community, especially for those on a budget and new to sim racing! Subbed your channel! 👍👍
Glad I found your channel! I’ve been a leering the internet to find deals but with the pandemic pretty much everything is bought up. That rig is going to be on my list of things to buy for sure
Welcome aboard!
I built an invert pedal setup with t3pa pedals out of wood from hardware store. Opened it and switched springs around and plus the green button on t300 looks better than the red haha..✌🏼 my whole rig is built by hand..ghetto rig club!
2x4 DIY cockpits are the best bang/buck option. They're extremely sturdy, and very customizable. Remember to use criss braces though. The next best thing is square pipe steel, but that requires basic welding.
Load cell brakes are way better. Got the Ricmotech LC upgrade for my T3PA and noticed big improvement. Eventually upgrades to Fanetec CSL Elite and wow, even better! Keep an eye on the used market for deals.
A nice upgrade on a budget would also be to buy an Ebay steering wheel and adapter... I bought one for my G27 and it's hobestly great!
Great advice here, I wish you made this video about a year ago! LOL... Load Cell, hands down, best upgrade for the money to improve driving performance.
A good alternative to the CSL Elite load cell pedals are the Thrustmaster T3PA + SimRacingSolutions load cell mod. You will need the bracket that comes with the conical rubber brake mod to. The load cell is about £90, there are other very similar ones for about £80 but the shipping times are longer. Even if you have to buy the T3PA pedals new (£100-£110) I still think this is better than buy the CSL Elite and here's why; You can also upgrade the gas pedal with an adjustable tensioner, BBJ Simracing's Adjustable Acc Spring Mod is simple to fit and under £30, you can't upgrade the CSL ELITE gas pedal easily, and it's about the same as the standard T3PA gas pedal. So for the same money as the CSL ELITE (if you can get them for the MRP and excluding the shipping costs) you can have a set of T3PA's with a load cell & gas pedal upgrade. If you can find a set of T-GT T3PA pedals, these have cast aluminium stems instead of the usual plastic ones and it's dead easy to fabricate your own case for them if you don't like the plastic original. With all these mods you'll have a set of pedals that cost roughly the same as the CSL Elite but with similar brake performance and better more accurate throttle response, in short they'll outperform the CSL Elite. A similar clutch upgrade is also available.
i love ghetto rigs. creative af
I have next level with the seat, IMO the bar in the middle makes it difficult to get in and out of the rig.
One option you should mention is the playseat challenge. It is very rigid for the price and even my CSW v2 feels nicer on it than a desk. It is also super compact and you get a proper racing position that is adjustable. For about 200 euro.
@@rwottevanger well, I always do. But in this case it is not the rig since the challenge does not have a central pylon.
@Brian Prior funny. I don't feel that much vibration even from a TS-PC or a CSW V2. The rigidity is what I like about this cockpit. That and the ease of storage!
I have a playseat challenge and there's way too much vertical play to be honest
@@Flowermouth yes, there is a bit of play vertically which is really not that bad for driving. You can use a motorbike lock to stop it though you end with a pole between your legs.
Heldermaior oh, I didn’t know about the challenge. But I think the evolution has the centre pillar though
Wheel stands are awesome
Any tips on fixing the potento meter calibration? I messed them up taking the pedals apart and now they are out of whack.
Can you share how did you connect the Fanatec Pedals to the T300? I have the same wheel and I want to get the Fanatec CSL pedals, but I cant find any information about if they will work or not
Finnaly is here
does the different Wheels and Pedals work together ?
if i have a Thrustmaster TS-XW Wheel and Fanatech pedals, will they be compatible ?
Is it possible to buy the g920 wheel but buy different pedals and shifter and then connect with each other?
I have the csr elite pedals and i love them don't know why there so underated
In sim racing i swear budget is another word for over £300
You can get a manually adjusted leather bucket seat out of a car from Pick-n-Pull for ~$45
If you guys need something you dont need to hard mount to just use a fold up coffee table if you have one
Ok so I got a few questions, if anyone can answer them, please do.
1st: could u use a shifter without needing the triple pedals
2: could u use a Logitech shifter on a thrustmaster
3: what could be a cheap, but good triple pedal thingy (I don’t know what to call them) I’m trying to get into this sim stuff and I got the regular thrustmaster tmx with the 2 pedals
New sub. I noticed you have csl pedals hooked with thrustmaster wheel on gt sport. Is there an adapter to hook up Fanatec pedals with thrustmaster wheel on ps4? Thanks
Hello friend, excellent video, I see that you have some fanatec pedals with a T300, I was wondering if they are 100 percent compatible or if you have to do some aditional work
Whats the best wheel for drifting and racing?
I am looking to start sim racing, but would prefer to start from somewhere that t can use as a platform to upgrade from. Can you help me?
got a set of CSR Elite pedals for $100.
You can upgrade your pedals to load cell pedals for 20€, imo totally worth it
How
HOW!?
Amazing series. Too bad that second hand market in Europe, especially Czechia, is so hard to find.
Thank you
Hi there, and thanks for the videos :). I want to ask if you can use fanatec pedals with thrusmaster wheel like t150 ot t300. Is possible how it is done you plug the pedals directly to the wheel or you need some kind of adapter ( i am ps4 user). Thanks!
You'll need an adapter.
You need an adapter like the drive hub
does an upgrade to the t3pa from a default pedal set work all the same in the case of a thrustmaster setup?
Yes.
I do kinda wanna upgrade my setup but literally only got 20€ ahaha
I would love a nice shifter like the th8a and a good pedals
What wheel and pedals do you have?
@@rjpm92 g920 setup
@@RAFAGaming11 If you've only got €20 have a look at getting the Nixim brake pedal mod. Makes a huge difference.
This is basically me
Can the pedals hook up to xb1
How does load cell measure force without moving?
The same way a scale does
Got my TMX pro and same standpro for125 on Gumtree 2 years ago!
Waiting for someone to sell me a cheap used DD on there...😢
Could be selling my DD soon ;)
@@Bent0n22 soon...😢...time moves so slow when your looking at the clock...😭
@@counterdebate depends on budget you have?
u know uve won it when ur paysafe support leaves u in the dust... and while scouting for some wood in the basement, to finish ur ghetto-rig v0.5, u magically discover.... The Black and Decker sawing table, just an inch taller than your average 200bucks wheelstand. Need I say Pikachuface??
I do have to kind of do something with the bottom part - either pull the wheel even further out or to somehow place my pedals higher on some wooden plank
meanwhile me with my keyboard
Can you use the fanatec pedals with a t300? And if yes also on console? Nice video btw
only through usb. in a console you need a drivehub
@@randomcallsign okay thank you
Hi, how do you conect the Fanatec pedals with the Thrustmaster wheels? do you use any adapter?
Just an usb cable directly to your pc
David Hulst thrustmaster and fanatec are not compatible...
I run fanatec pedals via usb with a t150 just fine
David Hulst oh ok in the case of consoles like Ps4 they're not compatible
@@Pedrocoll543 oh I did not know that I only use it on pc
Late to the party here but hopefully someone who knows the answer will see this.
I have the T300 on the way as I'm finally replacing my fanatec 911 G2, how can I use the CSR Pedals w/Load Cell mod with the new Thrustmaster wheel for PS3 or is that even an option? Thanks to anyone who answers...
You need a drive hub
Mjr Burn
I’m pretty sure the fanatec comes a with adapter hardware that allows it to be used with the other Wheel. It’s plug and play from what o know.
Benfica?
Can I have the fanatec pedels with a Logitech wheel?
in pc, yes. Fanatec pedals have USB
@@randomcallsign are gutted I’m on PS5. I’ve got a light weight F1 wheel, mod for g29 which is great, I thought if could get the fanatic pedals would be a great combo
People race with complete set while i rule the timeboard with a keyboard 😂 a chinese knockoff one especially
Jackston YU I wonder who’s having more fun though🥴🤔😂
I have the Banatec CSL Elite's. They're a total piece of shit, don't make the same mistake I did - don't buy that crap! Go straight to clubsport or just choose a different brand.
