** FOR SIMAGIC ALPHA MINI USERS** This guide is a little confusing in the last step with the front mount so I figured I’d leave a quick comment after I figured it out! So install the side DD Mount and front mount just as they say, using the M8 flatheads and the regular size M8 screws you’ve been using on all the gussets. NEXT, get out those long screws and the end nuts. On 2 of the screws, put 3 washers on each, leave the other 2 normal. Insert the wheel base into the mount from behind and use the 2 normal screws to secure the 2 TOP mounting holes. Screw them almost all the way in. Then keep holding it in place, and grab the screws with the washers on them, those will go in the BOTTOM 2 holes, then screw until tight. Then at that point you can put the end nuts on the top 2 screws behind the base to secure it (make sure they’re tight). Then just tighten everything as much as possible with the Allen wrench and you’re done! Hope that was a simple enough explanation :) Loving this rig so far!
so idk if the base got changed but the long screws are incapable of going all the way thru the base, making it impossible to attach nuts, and the long screws are too long. I'm still not sure how to attach the simagic alpha mini, do i just use the regular m8's?
I received mine yesterday and built it last night. It is a really solid kit and I'm really happy I went with this model. This video was a huge help in putting it together correctly on the first try.
@@advancedsimracing Would it be possible to also have some photo assembly guide? The video is good, but not quite descriptive enough to put it together without some frustrations. Even just some close ups of the measurements would greatly help the positioning of some of the specific placements
@@emsachems2717 Hey there, can you please share what frustrations you encoutered putting the ASR 3 together? This would help in rethinking our guides. Positions are merely suggestions in most cases, by the way, as the rig is meant to be fully adjustable to your racing position.
@@advancedsimracing While I understand and love that it's completely adjustable, the video does not convey which parts are adjustable during set-up. It would help much more to use other parts in assembly as measuring tools so that there's a better hint of what can be changed
First thing the rig is a tank! Worth every penny if you’re looking to upgrade And Thank you for this video without it I probably would be crying on the floor in the fetal position. Absolute legends.
For CSL DD users, regarding the side mount spacers since it's not clear in the video. The spacers go BETWEEN the 5 5/8" pieces and the Wheel Deck Mounting plates. At 14:31 in the video you can see where they need to go, make sure to use the longer screws that are provided in the bag with the spacers.
Wish you covered mounting motor base to the CSL or GT DD side mounts. Standard flat and the front mount are obvious, but not so much the side mount. Where do the spacer plates and extra hardware go that are packed in this option? Otherwise, this kit is well packed, engineered, manufactured and solid as a tank.
Are the spacers for the CSL DD Sidemount necessary? I didn't see anything in the video and didn't realize what these were until reading some comments, but I just mounted the wheelbase directly to the sidemount and it seems solid?
The only thing holding me back from buying one of these is that it seems you cannot adjust the tilt angle of the wheel. Has anyone found a workaround or a part to do so?
@@advancedsimracing made it quick an easy, rig is arriving next week! Any plans to film an ASR4 build video or is the process pretty similar to the ASR3 and/or the ASR6?
@@dlugsch ASR 4 guide has been filmed and is being edited at this time. We can share rough clips if need be at info@advancedsimracing.com Overall the process is extremely similar, except for the steering column's mounting.
I've had some lower back pain with this due to the height of the seat and the pedal plate being so similar, but I'm not seeing any way to raise the height of the seat mounting bars. Is there a way to do that that I'm missing?
Maybe you already found a solution, but I ordered some $30 seat brackets online. Even lets you adjust the angle. I'm using an old car seat with sliders, so inverting the brackets and mounting to the seat rails raised the seat about 4"
This is a lot harder to follow along due to blurriness, and not close up angle of what is going on at every step. Please add in paper manuals, you're not helping the consumer by cutting out paper. At least an online pdf. 2/5 stars for setup edit: Changed rating to 2/5 stars instead of 1/5 stars
need a paper manual

Thanks for the comment Norm! :D
Good to see a video guide for the assembly of this, i got mine about 6 months ago and assembly was more confusing that it needed to be without a guide
Agreed! We are converting all our guides to video.

great video, my rig went together flawlessly. Seems really sturdy.
Glad to hear that! We'll keep posting videos for accessories and other items as we head into 2022 .

Thanks for the added specifications Josh!
Useful guide, thanks! Any reason you don't use washers for the M8 screws on the pedal plate or the wheel mount bracket?
Very helpful guide thanks.

yeah Im building it rn and have no idea where to put them
For the side support plates, should we not use a washer between the screw and plate?
Thanks l'
I didn’t receive any M8 flat screws (16mm)
Are the spacers for the CSL DD Sidemount necessary? I didn't see anything in the video and didn't realize what these were until reading some comments, but I just mounted the wheelbase directly to the sidemount and it seems solid?
Sorry, at 10:55 why did we snap the torsion points off this gusset? Seems like a mistake.
So that it can be mounted to two extrusion beams that are laid at a 90 degree angle
The only thing holding me back from buying one of these is that it seems you cannot adjust the tilt angle of the wheel. Has anyone found a workaround or a part to do so?
Which DD do you have? The video shows that you can tilt angle the wheel with the side and front mount kit.
Quick question. Is the mounting of the two vertical columns using corner gassets strong enough to prevent any flex for a 15nM direct drive?
I just got this and asetek 18nm forte. I'm putting it together as I write this reply. I'll let you know, reply back to remind me
@JoShUa95160 it's solid, but after first week, I had to re tighten everything. Now it's solid as f
@JoShUa95160 zero flex etc. I even have a hot wheels car sitting on it w 11nm, stays still on wheels.
Hi my ASR is too low is there anyway I can raise up my sim rig thank you
Do you already own the Adjustable feet?
@@advancedsimracing yes i own ASR 1 with adjustable feet
Does the standard wheel deck have any angle adjustment?
Yep! Adjustements happen on the side mounts that attach to the uprights. You can angle them as you see fit.
@@advancedsimracing great thanks👍 ended up ordering an ASR4, super excited for it to come in!
@@dlugsch Thanks for shopping with us!

You could source some 1.5” x 4-6” x 22” long aluminum profiles to replace the existing 1.5” x 1.5” x 22” seat mounts.
Maybe you already found a solution, but I ordered some $30 seat brackets online. Even lets you adjust the angle. I'm using an old car seat with sliders, so inverting the brackets and mounting to the seat rails raised the seat about 4"
Does it comes with the necessary tools for assembling?
Unfortunately no, but it doesn't it require too many tools luckily!
UH I ODERED A AS3 AND I DONT HAVE THOSE PARTS.....
Not sure if this is a joke but you get all those in the package
@@DillandShaj no i didn't
Assuming this is same process for ASR4 & 6?
Very close! We'll be releasing the ASR 6 assembly guide shortly.
@@advancedsimracing used it for the as4. Was a big help. Thanks!
