Thank you, I'm entering at a much lower level than your setup but wanted a decent cockpit. This seems like a winner for me and I really appreciate your video showing it in detail.
P.s. I see they sell Casters for this. Do you see any big downside with having the whole setup on casters? I do not have a dedicated space, so I will be using it in my livingroom and with casters would be able to push it out to the side when not in use.
@@crawlgsx depending on your wheelbase and pedals you may be better off buying the ART cockpit, also the casters isn't really a good idea if they're anything like the ones on the ART because they have a tendency to bend
I ditched the angled pedal plate and attached my Heusinkveld Sprints directly to the rig base plate. Only needed six M6 holes drilling after making a careful template of the base of the Sprints. Rock solid at 60kg brake force. Recommended. There is plenty of adjustment in the Sprints themselves to make up for the loss of the angle plate. Good rig.
Spam Crud this is perfect news! I have CSL Elite LC and feel the same... though i might make a 1-inch marine plywood base to bolt the pedals to, and then bolt the ply to the base plate. In case I ever change pedals!
@@DoomiePookie minimum 6, up to 7. It isn't critical which, as by the time you've drilled 2 or 4 holes and mounted it, you can adjust for any slack by pushing the pedal plate away from you before tightening the nuts. I found this very easy with a HSS drill bit and mains-powered drill. The steel of the Titan is mild and it goes through well. I would strongly recommend creating a starting point with a bradawl (or screw) and hammer, to avoid the 6/7mm drill bit slipping and sliding. Take your time to line it up; create the initial indentation like i just described, and measure again. Just watch out for sharp edges on the under-side after you drill through. Very sharp and needs either filing down or just hammering flat. When the washer and nut go on it will hide any ugliness.
Starting low end sim racing so I can still practice driving in my off season and down time from drag racing. Its always odd to me how far back most sim drivers sit from their wheel. In my car with a bucket seat its damn near impossible to get out without removing the wheel lmao
I currently have a CSL Elite wheel-base and I have a CSL DD on order , I'm strongly considering ordering this rig , I know there's going to be some flex but I think your review was the most truthful about how much flex I can expect , thank you and if I order I'll be sure to use your affiliate link , thanks again
Just bought a Titan and couldn't be happier except GT Omega don't sell caster wheels for the Titan...I took the wheels 9ff my old rig and have put them on the Titan...all is now great
Subbed. I use the F-GT from Next Level Racing and i swear its the best bang for buck rig on the market today, i have a CSL DD and its solid...... I will upgrade but only to the F-GT ELITE rig which looks so BLING. The Titan is also a goog rig and you wud be happy with either but if you want premium at a decent print the the fgt elite is for me... Loyalties matter.....
I am looking at the rig. I am thinking about mine. Mine is a full frame motion rig. It's made of steel which is heavy but I don't see the flex in mine between the V-3 pedals and the rest of the rig. I don't have the HV pedals. but I will do a video motion test to see the flex like you did.. I don't feel any flex, but I'm new to the whole sim racing thing so If you need to sling some mud my way to keep me in check, go right ahead. I appreciate you taking the time to show the possible rig problems and I understand them. DMAX motion Sim
Your rig is quite different from this one, and I would expect it to have less flex. The V3s require quite a bit less force on the brake than the HEs, and they don't have the same levarage. Also some of the artificial flex tests I do here (e.g., GT Omega Prime review wheel deck flex) I wouldn't do with a CSL Elite base out of fear of breaking the wheel base's plastic housing and internals. In other words I sometimes put quite a bit of force in ;-) Cheers!
@@TheSimChannel Thanks again. I'm still going to do a test on my rig.. I could easily add a few triangles to it. I'm pretty careful with the CSL wheel. it's treated me good so far but I am pretty curious about the leap to even a lower nm DD wheel. We shall see my friend.. Keep posting your good stuff! DMAX
i am planning my first sim racing setup for the upcoming gt7. right now i think i will go with the gt omega titan with the csl dd.. seems like a good combination.
I'd say that's a very nice starter setup (more than that actually)! If you want to do me a favor, you can use the affiliate links in the description :)
100% agree that it's a great setup. I have the GT Omega classic wheel stand / rear seat frame for console racing. That rig has been great over the years, but wont hold up with direct drive wheel bases. Looking to get the Titan for console.
I am also looking to get my first rig and I agree. I think I want to get the titan and the csl dd but can’t seem to find it anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks
HI.. just came across your updated review.. a few questions if i may..? 1. whats the spec of your pc (cpu/gpu) ? 2. what tv/monitor is that (make/model no.) ? 3. where were you able to get the tubular monitor stand from? i like thats its in the same style of the TITAN cockpit, but is not on GT OMEGA's website. many thanks :)
could you explain more about the ART sister brand in china? i saw it online recently and was guessing there was affiliation due to the stark similarities in design and offerings. is it something you can review/recommend also? (i am not able to find any useful info on ART online)
Hi looking to get a second hand one on ebay but he has talen the seat for his new rig . Can i just get a new seat and bolt on or do i need the Simulator mounting plate on Gt omege's site £49.95 ? cheers james
Very helpful review thank you👍. I was interested in your set up. I see you are using a Fanatec wheel base together with a Thustmaster shifter have you found a solution that allows you to plug the shifter into the Fanatec wheel base. I have just upgraded from a Thrustmaster belt drive system and have their shifter. Many thanks. Rob👏
Bought this here in UK, apart from crap instructions, great value rig. The track racer was about £250 more & the rseat with crazy shipping price about £350 more. So the Titan is by far best value.
I agree, although I also since bought Fanatec H-Shifter and handbrake, so I ditched the Titan arm and built a wooden centre console like in a real car, with "joists" underneath (going transverse) onto which the Titan sits (complete with its feet). Took some work but well worth it. On a wooden floor with furniture pads i can push it around too 🙂
Im not thinking of upgrading any time soon and right now i got a t300 with t-lcm pedals, i use it for medium competitive gameplay so its not like im in esports or smth. With my setup right now should I go for an ART or for a TITAN, i got the budget for it but if i went 80 cheaper it would be even better. I heard there was some flex in the pedal base with the ART and im scared its going to be too annoying. Thanks everybody
Between the two I'd go with the Titan. I haven't tried the Art, but based on the design and thickness of the tubing I'd expect it to flex more. Also the Titan looks a lot better IMO :-) (And whatever you end up buying, check out my affiliate links, it certainly helps he channel!)
Is good the legs position? Can I remove the pedal bracket to fix the Fanatec pedals directly on the base? I prefer 90 degrees for my legs and I cannot understand if you are good with pedals on the support. I ask this because on this Titan cannot place the seat in height
@@kevinferah8739 Mine was an old 60Hz 1080p Sony, but nowadays for TVs 120Hz 4k is the way to go. Which one you should take I can't answer, nor the brand. What you want is low latency in PC / gaming mode, check rtings.com or other sources for tests of the models that are interesting to you. Personally I swiched to a Samsung G9 because I needed to downsize in m new apartment, so I'm not up to date on what's the best gaming TV. But there are a lot that are fairly capable for gaming these days :) Good luck!
I ordered last night this cockpit with no seat and bought a BMW junkyard seat, and just knew (thanks to you) that I need the mounting brackets because it is not Include with no seat option. Any idea where can I buy it? Im from EU
I was just about to purchase this today, then i watched ur review and realized i wouldn't be able to mount my handbrake. What do you think i should i do? Is there a good DIY method you can link me in your reply, or do you think there's a better cockpit in mind? I've seen reviews on the art, and i dont like the flex. Thats the main thing im trying to avoid with the cockpit, because rigt now my wheel stands flexes like crazy and i want something very stable. Love your review btw, i made sure to subscribe ! :)
hmm why cant you mount the handbrake? I'm not aware of terribly much at the price point of the Titan that holds up with it. SimLab, TrakRacer and Simetik would be the usual suspects.
Awesome review! Thanks! Would you say the Titan was the best non profile rig available currently? What would be it's hottest competition? Is the RS6 still the one?
I currently use a Titan with a CSW V2.5 and V3 pedals and was curious if it would work with a DD1 for a while if need be, looks like it should be good for a while!
Nick how do you rate the v3 pedals? I understand there are optional official mods for it and also an inverted version. I only have CSL Elite LC at present but was looking at Heusinkveld... Thoughts?
how much more % for the aluminium rig? for each price range, we should consider their capability. If the gap is huge, then, the little flex and restrictions would work in Omega's favour
I believe my review on my channel was the updated version. I wondered why my rig looked different to the one you reviewed. I dont think mine had as much flex. So maybe it has been updated? The bottom section of the pedal plate(the part attached to the side of the frame) is longer on mine . So the believe it stops some of the flex
I thought that too, but actually that part doesn't flex at all. It's the steel tubing / the connection in the middle that flexes slightly when you put a lot of force on it. But you don't really feel that flex, so it's a non-issue, and I'm pretty sure there's not gonna be a difference between my rig and the production rigs in that regard. Anyway, cool to see someone starting a sim racing channel at such a young age. Keep it up! :-)
@@TheSimChannel If you have the updated version...the metal plate welded to the round frame tubes...should be about 27.5cm long with 13 of the oval mounting holes front to back on each side. I believe this is the updated part....its welded on the frame. I still use a metal post off the end of the upper plate down to the floor for full stability on the flex with LC breaking. Also, thanks for showing your DD1 mounted. I am considering going from the CSW to the DD1 and wondered about the difference in wheel distance to my chest. The DD1 looks to move the wheel about 2-3 inches closer to you than a CSL/CSW bases?
@@labpong7562 Clarification: The base plate between the steel tubes in my rig is the older, shorter one (but it doesn't flex either way -- I pointed out that the new one is longer in the vid). The pedal mount on top of it is what I received the updated version of. And yes, I think the wheels stick out a few cm further from the DD1/2 than from the CSL / CSW wheel bases.
I highly recommend tube frames over boxed frames!I have a similar rig but for $150 and virtually no flex other than slight forward-back @ the base mount. I slapped on a Sparco seat and my CSR Forza Elite, 40" 4K TV on a desk.
Great review! I'm about to pre-order the Titan. But... Did anyone manage to mount a Buttkicker Gamer 2 in a decent way? I emailed GT Omega and got a quick reply that they don't have a mounting solution for the BK. If it's possible to mount it somehow I'll definitely order this rig.
you can always make something for yourself. like a bar mounted between seat and seat rails maybe? The main tubing of the chassis is probably too thick for the BK? FYI if you order it you can get 5% off I think with my code in the video description.
@@TheSimChannel you're right. Could you recommend any rivals for the Titan? I have around a 500 budget but if there really isn't anything I might just have to bite the bullet and go for the GT Prime, since I'm using a DD Pro base.
@@BeforeThisNovember depending on where you live and whether or not your budget has some flexibility, sim-lab and trak-racer may have alternatives for you, maybe even simetik if you dont mind the looks. for 8Nm, pretty much any 8020 rig should do the job just fine.
8:16 It flex but .... however ... Those youtube comercials boys.... First they make the test and the test fails Then they explain why it doesn't matter You make the FLEX test because IT MATTERS No however!
The Fanatec bases all have the same bolt pattern, so yes, it's compatible. Feel free to use my affiliate links for purchases if you want to support me :-)
@@TheSimChannel i dont think this is correct? Karl one of the youtubers who reviewed the Titan had to drill a hole to fit fanatec DD to the plate of this rig.
Im just under 6 feet but I’m still growing. Atm I’m using a playseat challenge and I have moved the pedal mount as far as possible and sometimes when I brake I pops out. Do you think I can use this cockpit long term or do you have any other recommendations?
I think the SimLab GT-1 Evo (or other mid-sized 8020 rigs) could be an alternative if you're looking for something more flexible without breaking the bank. Watch my review on the P1-X for more on 8020 rigs. (and feel free to use my affiliate links if you happen to order at one of those companies :)). That being said, I think the Titan can work for people a little over 6 feet as well without issues. Depends just a bit on how much more you're planning to grow ;-)
@@TheSimChannel I didn’t know of the GT-1 Evo before this. I wanted a rig like it but I couldn’t find one that fits in my budget. Thank you for the recommendation.
@@TheSimChannel sorry I had another question. Do you know if the GT1-Evo is a good rigid rig. I’m saving for a Fanatec GT DD Pro and I really want a rig that can take it. Also do you know if the seat comes with the rig or do I have to buy that separately?
@@neoniklasson162 yes, the GT-1 Evo is very rigid, no problem at all with the GT DD Pro. By default it doesn't come with a seat, but you can order seats from SimLab, as well as from other vendors, depending on what you like / want / can afford. Make sure you get seat sliders and seat brackets when you get a side-mounted bucket seat. I have a few videos on seats and stuff on my channel, I think you should click through the channel a little and check out whatever video is of interest to you, there should be quite a few that could be of interest to you :)
@@TheSimChannel with the sliders and brackets it’s kinda expensive I was more looking for something around the price of the Titan. My budget is around 500-600 euros with the seat and all that. I’m sorry if I’m hard to deal with but I want a rig that is rigid but not 800+ euros in total.
I hate when tech design guys sacrifice functionality for style. Put few more rods here in there to make triangles and so a rock solid structure. It is that simple.
Thank you for this! I already own a 2020 model of Titan and only have a CSL Elite PS4 wheelbase at present, but want to go DD soon (more than a CSL DD). My seat is a Corbeau reclining fabric seat on Sparco sliders, so it sits lower and flatter than your bucket seat. I really want to mount my pedals directly onto the Titan base plate because they are too high (relative to a GT-style car or at least a normal road car) when using the adjustable bracket. But I might upgrade my CSL Elite LC pedals first.... not sure what yet, but I want longer travel and better damping. Thoughts?
quick thoughts: yes, good idea to upgrade the pedals. go Heusinkveld. then try to find a Porsche dealership and sit in a 911, maybe you'll come to the conclusion that your pedals don't really need to be much lower. :)
@@TheSimChannel thanks on all points. The reason i want to lower the pedals is that I have the adjustable plate angled towards me so that when the Elite pedals are mounted, they point vertically up rather than being angled backwards. I noticed that the Heusinkveld Sprints and Ultimates both look to be vertical by default. I guess I should buy the new pedals and mount them on the horizontally positioned Titan base plate to evaluate how high they really are in that position.
What steeringwheel you use? because i use a playseat challenge with a t300rs and after heavy steering the flex is minimal noticeable almost unnoticeable.
Hello everybody. I would like to buy the Gt omega Titan without a chair. Do you think it is possible to mount my Razer Iskur gaming seat on it? So I buy the basic one without the seat, and save some money :)
I would be very surprised if that chair has the right mounting points. They would roughly have to be in the four corners of the seat on the underside. If you see no threaded holes there, then no. I made some seat recommendations before, I think it was in the GT Omega Pro buyers guide. Maybe check that out. (also note that you can get 5% off of GT Omega purchased with my checkout code in the description below).
@@TheSimChannel I have 4 holes in the central area of the chair. If I put a plate and then screw the chair into the four central holes I made, do you think it could go?
@@LuKeTt__ of course you could build your own adapter, but that comes with extra cost and work. How about selling the chair and getting an affordable / used bucket seat instead?

@@labpong7562 Clarification: The base plate between the steel tubes in my rig is the older, shorter one (but it doesn't flex either way -- I pointed out that the new one is longer in the vid). The pedal mount on top of it is what I received the updated version of. And yes, I think the wheels stick out a few cm further from the DD1/2 than from the CSL / CSW wheel bases.
I highly recommend tube frames over boxed frames!I have a similar rig but for $150 and virtually no flex other than slight forward-back @ the base mount. I slapped on a Sparco seat and my CSR Forza Elite, 40" 4K TV on a desk.
Which rig did you buy?
What is the monitor stand you're using?
Great review! I'm about to pre-order the Titan. But... Did anyone manage to mount a Buttkicker Gamer 2 in a decent way? I emailed GT Omega and got a quick reply that they don't have a mounting solution for the BK. If it's possible to mount it somehow I'll definitely order this rig.
you can always make something for yourself. like a bar mounted between seat and seat rails maybe? The main tubing of the chassis is probably too thick for the BK? FYI if you order it you can get 5% off I think with my code in the video description.
@@TheSimChannel Thanks for answering!
hey whats the chinese brands name exactly? i will try and get that monitormount here since that would just make the perfect setup for me :)
Bonjour ,
Ou trouver le support écran pour titan ?
Merci pour la vidéo!
Is that a Trak Racer TV stand?
yes, you find the review on this channel.
I like it! Gud looking design...I'm an arkiteck yo uknow...
Will the simagic Alpha Mini bolt straight onto the titan
How’d you compare this to the playseat trophy
I have no experience with the Playseat, sorry.
Trying to buy one of these but they're out of stock for the foreseeable future.
Should I just got for the ART?
I'm not a big fan of the Art personally. Haven't tried it but from the looks of it I'd expect it to be a bit flimsy and not very pretty.
@@TheSimChannel you're right. Could you recommend any rivals for the Titan? I have around a 500 budget but if there really isn't anything I might just have to bite the bullet and go for the GT Prime, since I'm using a DD Pro base.
@@BeforeThisNovember depending on where you live and whether or not your budget has some flexibility, sim-lab and trak-racer may have alternatives for you, maybe even simetik if you dont mind the looks. for 8Nm, pretty much any 8020 rig should do the job just fine.
hello, do you have de name of your screen support thx.
hey your pedal mount look so cool and sturdy. how can i get it?
Check the video description, it has all the parts that go into it listed. You can order those parts at Sim Lab or other sellers of aluminium profiles.
8:16 It flex but .... however ...
Those youtube comercials boys....
First they make the test and the test fails
Then they explain why it doesn't matter
You make the FLEX test because IT MATTERS
No however!
Can’t you just stuff something solid under the pedal tray to solve that flex problem?
What seat sliders/bracket did you purchase?
sliders are from ebay, standard stuff. for the seat and brackets watch my video on the "Mirco Race Gel GT" seat :-)
Do you think that the Granturismo DD PRO by Fanatec is compatible with this rig?
The Fanatec bases all have the same bolt pattern, so yes, it's compatible. Feel free to use my affiliate links for purchases if you want to support me :-)
@@TheSimChannel i dont think this is correct? Karl one of the youtubers who reviewed the Titan had to drill a hole to fit fanatec DD to the plate of this rig.
Where is the seat from. probably missing where it is
mirco seats. review on this channel.
Would this work with a basic Thrustmaster wheel and cheap pedals?
of course
whats the pipe size/width?
Im just under 6 feet but I’m still growing. Atm I’m using a playseat challenge and I have moved the pedal mount as far as possible and sometimes when I brake I pops out. Do you think I can use this cockpit long term or do you have any other recommendations?
I think the SimLab GT-1 Evo (or other mid-sized 8020 rigs) could be an alternative if you're looking for something more flexible without breaking the bank. Watch my review on the P1-X for more on 8020 rigs. (and feel free to use my affiliate links if you happen to order at one of those companies :)). That being said, I think the Titan can work for people a little over 6 feet as well without issues. Depends just a bit on how much more you're planning to grow ;-)
@@TheSimChannel I didn’t know of the GT-1 Evo before this. I wanted a rig like it but I couldn’t find one that fits in my budget. Thank you for the recommendation.
@@TheSimChannel sorry I had another question. Do you know if the GT1-Evo is a good rigid rig. I’m saving for a Fanatec GT DD Pro and I really want a rig that can take it. Also do you know if the seat comes with the rig or do I have to buy that separately?
@@neoniklasson162 yes, the GT-1 Evo is very rigid, no problem at all with the GT DD Pro. By default it doesn't come with a seat, but you can order seats from SimLab, as well as from other vendors, depending on what you like / want / can afford. Make sure you get seat sliders and seat brackets when you get a side-mounted bucket seat. I have a few videos on seats and stuff on my channel, I think you should click through the channel a little and check out whatever video is of interest to you, there should be quite a few that could be of interest to you :)
@@TheSimChannel with the sliders and brackets it’s kinda expensive I was more looking for something around the price of the Titan. My budget is around 500-600 euros with the seat and all that. I’m sorry if I’m hard to deal with but I want a rig that is rigid but not 800+ euros in total.
How many screws did you use to mount the DD1?
uh. I think 4. but 3, 4 or 5 is all fine.
@@TheSimChannel thanks a million!
I hate when tech design guys sacrifice functionality for style. Put few more rods here in there to make triangles and so a rock solid structure. It is that simple.
Jo pretty nice review. I like the depth and style of these. Are u planning to make a review of the GT Omega ART?
No, sorry. Next one is the Sim-Lab P1-X.
How much was it
Just put 2 feet on the end of the pedal deck to the floor it'll have nowhere to go..
Thank you for this! I already own a 2020 model of Titan and only have a CSL Elite PS4 wheelbase at present, but want to go DD soon (more than a CSL DD). My seat is a Corbeau reclining fabric seat on Sparco sliders, so it sits lower and flatter than your bucket seat. I really want to mount my pedals directly onto the Titan base plate because they are too high (relative to a GT-style car or at least a normal road car) when using the adjustable bracket. But I might upgrade my CSL Elite LC pedals first.... not sure what yet, but I want longer travel and better damping. Thoughts?
quick thoughts: yes, good idea to upgrade the pedals. go Heusinkveld. then try to find a Porsche dealership and sit in a 911, maybe you'll come to the conclusion that your pedals don't really need to be much lower. :)
@@TheSimChannel thanks on all points. The reason i want to lower the pedals is that I have the adjustable plate angled towards me so that when the Elite pedals are mounted, they point vertically up rather than being angled backwards. I noticed that the Heusinkveld Sprints and Ultimates both look to be vertical by default. I guess I should buy the new pedals and mount them on the horizontally positioned Titan base plate to evaluate how high they really are in that position.
@@enterthebiscuit right, the Fanatec pedals have a very weird angle. The heusinkvelds are adjustable that way, and more upright in all cases.
That is a lot of flex in the steering wheel. I am upgrading from a playseat challenge which is a flex machine, and this rig doesn't look much better.
Check other reviews as well though. I didn't think the flex was a big issue while driving.
What steeringwheel you use? because i use a playseat challenge with a t300rs and after heavy steering the flex is minimal noticeable almost unnoticeable.
Hello everybody. I would like to buy the Gt omega Titan without a chair. Do you think it is possible to mount my Razer Iskur gaming seat on it? So I buy the basic one without the seat, and save some money :)
I would be very surprised if that chair has the right mounting points. They would roughly have to be in the four corners of the seat on the underside. If you see no threaded holes there, then no. I made some seat recommendations before, I think it was in the GT Omega Pro buyers guide. Maybe check that out. (also note that you can get 5% off of GT Omega purchased with my checkout code in the description below).
@@TheSimChannel I have 4 holes in the central area of the chair. If I put a plate and then screw the chair into the four central holes I made, do you think it could go?
@@LuKeTt__ of course you could build your own adapter, but that comes with extra cost and work. How about selling the chair and getting an affordable / used bucket seat instead?
@@TheSimChannel Selling the serious no. It is a super comfortable chair. If I can mount it on the Gt omega, I would have a super station: D
What tv stand do you have?
It's a Trak Racer, I have a review of it in aother video, have a look. Consider using my affiliate link if you wanna buy one :-)
Pls Guys tell me what Monitor stand that is
Trak Racer TM-B3 37, review on this channel: th-cam.com/video/l84f22VER6E/w-d-xo.html
I wish that code still worked! 🥺
what code?
@@TheSimChannel the code to save on the titan!
@@shotgun2063 hmm, I should investigate if I need to update the video description. Thanks!
work for pc ?
it's a metal frame.
How tall are you?
180cm
@@TheSimChannel Do you think 190cm would fit decently?
The RS6 is twice the price!
Simetek k2r rig beats this hands down,better looking in white aswell!
priced quite a bit higher and I disagree on the looks ;-)
I disagree. The K2R is more expensive and old looking.
pedals plate flex is terrible
Way too much flex more. A pass on this
The pedal plate has been changed. There's a new one shipped with the titan now. Much better
