Rebuilding My Entire Racing Simulator With The Newest Hardware. Will It Be Any Better?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ค. 2020
- I got A Direct Drive wheelbase which is the top of the line for sim hardware to add to my motion simulator to see if it feels any different than it does with a mid-grade wheel setup. Will it make any difference? Is it worth the money?

LMAOOOOO00000O0O0O0
LMAOOOOO
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
LMAO
This man tig welds for a sim setup that is true dedication.
Now just needs to brace the wheel mount to lower the flex.
Would you expect anything less from Taylor?
@ Not My Real Name no I would not
Not My Real Name well your not wrong, he does tend to overbuild anything and everything
Though is that a bad thing.... 😂
13:30 Cat at the slider: Let me INNN!
Wait a minute, you're allowed to have a direct drive wheel even if you aren't living in a shed and have a R32!? I thought those were required. Hmm.
You are not allowed - it has been ruled illegal in 43 countries, the law will only be void if you are seen to be thicc
🤭🤭🤭
Gotta have a bright minty paint job, otherwise no-go
Damn the broadbent jokes lmao didn't expect those here
@@skidsftw8074 ya can't just dive into the jimmer pool and not get some on ya.
Well thanks... Until now I was fine with not being able to afford one of these
Bruh fr, saw this and i was like fml
I was being a good boy saving my unemployment benefits, but fuck it you only live once.
@@Pigey My dream setup: P3 rig w/ frame parts replaced w/ 80/20, HP Reverb G2, DD1 base & assoc gear, & G5 motion seat. Est $ minus PC: $6k.
Now I have my T-300 clamped to a table, PS4, & 39” TV 🙃
@@lewisgordon1490 look up Rigmetal. I got a 8020 setup with wheel plate and shifter mount and seat for $680 shipped in the US. Way more affordable than the SimLab stuff and it’s the same material. Don’t overpay for brand name.
@@lewisgordon1490what do you mean replace frame with 8020?
"I know this sect- THIS ISN"T THE SECTION! THIS ISN'T THE SECTION!"
BANG!
me playing Dirt Rally 2.0
Thanks for the information, looking to get into this setup!
Your joking right

0:39 Sim racers are much the same as race drivers. The difference is in budget for the most part (at least for me). That said, I'll gladly put $5K into a ridiculously immersive sim rig (from PC to motion rig) and drive incredible cars at legendary tracks in a virtual setting, without batting an eye when someone criticizes it. If I had a real car, I could spend that in a month depending on how my sessions go. I'd love to have the means to do it, but sim racing makes more sense financially. And usually people are interested when I tell them I sim race.
2:19 That's my biggest reason for the passion I have for sim racing. It translates. It's not the SAME as the real thing, but what you learn on a sim about car control will ABSOLUTELY help you on a track, or driving in general.
9:29 You're just awesome, that's all lol
14:47 Thank you for linking that shifter
Absolutely brilliant to hear your comments on this. Tried a DD2 yesterday and couldn't believe how real it felt.
My favorite part of the whole video is the cat following him around everywhere and jus vibin
Taylor, I love your content man. I don’t know what it is but I watch A lot of TH-cam and a lot of the “bigger” TH-camrs as well but after a long day at work for some reason I crave watching one of your videos. You’re a huge idol of mine. I hope one day to take some time off work processing green chile to come to Florida in hopes of meeting you and hopefully sliding with you as well. Keep up the sick content and fab work man!
since you mentioned it, can you do a video on what it costs to run an event like clutchkickers at your level?
He said in last video that the price money pays for the gas to the tow rig and the entrance fee , so maybe around $1500 for a weekend 😁
I would highly advise mounting the DD to something abit thicker, you'll probably be losing a lot of detail through the mounting plate, atleast something as thick as the CSWv2.5 angle bracket.
My DD2 twisted a 3mm plate during a pretty nasty crash in iracing o o;;
So yea, if you want to safely use a DD, please make a thicker mounting bracket! > < also tip for mounting wheels, make sure to tighten the big ass fastener abit first so its pressing against the rubber prior to slipping the wheels QR onto the DD shaft, then tighten. That way the rubber wont get pushed back when putting a wheel on and its also nice and snug, my DD2 has zero slack, so no wiggling of the wheel.
UGUU!~ >
24:05 the true value of a sim
This helped swing me towards going direct drive. That looks so much smoother & quieter!! Awesome content man!
How much do you think he’s got in his sim as it sits right there, computer and all?
@@srcastic8764 Probably about $5000-6000
Thanks man you got me into Sim Racing currently running a VRS Direct Drive!
After the initial lengthy rant was over this video gat very interesting, and I say this because in my meager budget of Pennie’s a day, I too am constantly upgrading my system. I don’t do racing (get dizzy) but I do the “truck simulator” thing. Initially I started out with a basic old run down table. Now I have a a comfortable set up and a trucker’s seat that’s out of this world. Yeah, so I can see this gentleman’s effort paying off. Great video, once it got going.
love the sim content w all the upgradges, dont be afraid to be nerdy lot of people love watching this kind of stuff and all the minute differences and features. super cool stuff taylor!
Top video mate! Really good and informative content!! Keep em going I learn a lot from you bro 🔥❤️
Dude, you’re cracking me up 😆 speaking so calmly while nailing those turns!
Damn i just got my V2.5 base, love it, V3 pedals are sick, love them!
@4:43 "a lot of wizardry" .. That's a nice way of putting it ;-)
Awesome, would love to see mor sim stuff.
personally i would have given the plate a quick black coat but love how you're doing all your own mods
Good looking rig there my friend!
Clear advantage of sim racing in Nordschleife. Good content. You do both real and sim plus diy. I can listen to people who know what they’re talking about. I ordered DD1 just before watched it, my birthday present today!
Nice spheil Taylor. I started watching you on Cleetuss channel. I used to do sim racing in 2008. I recently bought a new wheel to get back into sim racing. Nice rig sir!
Poor Tuckinator just wanted to sleep in his sim chair
The fact you can drive like that and talk so calmly without missing a beat, to me is incredible.
You will get much more fidelity when you figure out how to minimize the flex your wheel is getting from the rig stiffness. It is dampening the "feel" you get from the direct drive. You can see the base move so much. I think once you get that sorted it will be a huge benefit. My DD1 felt much better when I got rid off all the flex from my wheelbase mount.
Ive got no choice but still im loving my Playseat Challenge with a G920 bundle,having said that,i just cant imagine what a great time you have with this.
Omg you are sooooo close to 500k!!! Congrats!
Flawless transition between changing the shift knobs, had to do a double take
Man I love the detail of your videos 10/10
Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels!
Really enjoy your simrig stuff 👍
Very nice stuff! Dutch regards, Nico
Awesome video. I’m curious: how much seat time do you average on your sim rig each week, and how do you see it helping to translate over to irl drifting?
Beautiful setup, lovely drive
I just came across your channel. I also like cars and racing which is why you just got a new subscriber. keep up the good vids
Awesome stuff bro!
Not to mention you can do 100 odd laps around Klutchkickers in assetto and not have to spend a cent on tires, fuel, food etc etc
Or wait in line
Your video editing was on point for which picture to have bigger during your racing
Dude I subbed immediately your content is sooo good
Super jealous considering I'm still rocking my original Fanatec CSR setup, love the sim content! Btw make sure your PC is free of dust :D
this whole setup is endgame, this is bad ass, if youre still sim racing id love to play ac with you!
I like your little racing buddy roaming around :D
I remember playing gt2, leguna seca in and ruf, favorite track and car. If you wanted to drift then the Shelby cobra. Tire smoke through out the whole track!
That’s badass😂 looking to get into a similar setup to practice racing dirt modifieds
My poor boi self is now convinced I need to save for a DD1!
I'd recommend getting some sort of an outro for your edits, to give people viewing on consoles a chance to use their brains and throw you a like before the video ends.
Thanks for all you do, Taylor! You're easily the best, most helpful, and informative auto vlogger out there.
love the set up, got one myself. but my vr is funky it jumps around. did you experience the same issue. love the vids keep up the good work.
Super helpful thanks!
enjoy driving with the new setup
6:23 SANS! thanks for the video, i think i need to have this in my life. I better start putting away my nickels.
I love that your coming around to assetto, you should hold a assetto meet!
Setup is very personal. I mounted my handbrake to the shifter (same gear you have). The handbrake mounts with a forward rake and is to the left of the shifter so it's between the wheel and the shifter. This allows for minimal movement. It mounts with the stock hardware
Gotta try to get rid of that flex on the wheel deck and the forcefeedback will feel way better. Strong rigs will improve every input, especially pedals and the wheel.
Sweet as setup!!!
This is ridiculous bro. Sick!
Love the sim content, dude you should join up with Kame trick if your getting more into assetto corsa
I have the regular pedals and I absolutely love them. Never used to the inverted so I have no clue how different they are.
HELL YEAH!!! I just got Triple 2k MSI 27 inch monitors for my rig.
only thing i can think of is i would probably put the button pad on the other side of the wheel if it fits in front of the handbrake. kinda like if it was a center console of a car.
Dont know anything about Sims I am just getting into this thing and already like your videos!
That wheels so nice it even comes with power steering fluid
Supervisor Sandy on the scene
And Tuck waiting for Taylor to finish up so he can sit in the warm sim seat.
Awesome vid dude. Best car you tuber
That's over 2k in this setup alone, not counting previous cost on wheels, pedals, shifter and ebrake. True dedication right there, and no kick back from Fanatec either, I'm surprised he didn't reach out and see if they might sponser the video.
Amazing sim racing gear :)
if theres anyone to trust on how a car simulator should feel, I would definitely trust someone like Taylor, since he races in RL as well as being knowledgeable on simulator equipment
Thanks, it was useful!
I've had your old setup in my basket on the Fanatec site for months (pre rona) but never pulled the trigger because i couldn't decide whether i'd regret it and wish i'd have gone with the DD1. I think i'll be saving the extra peas to get the DD1. Until then ill be rocking the faithful G920 haha
Dude. This setup is dope.
Very comprehensive review and it feels great knowing I'm better at Nordschleife than you 🤙🏽🤙🏽8000+ hours spent on that track !
Congrats. Welcome to the Podium club.
That “Europe Rocks” poster though 😂
it seems amazing omg! trying to save so i can buy a g290 and start playing
G920 or the newer 923. But I’d get a T-300 or TMX. A bit more than a G920, less than half of Fanatec V2.5, twice the power of 920 but more importantly little lash and MUCH MUCH quieter (more so w/ some sims). When I had my Logitech wheel I was often worried I’d bother my roommates if played late at night. My T-300 is nearly silent by comparison. Don’t think made me better but the smoothness & quite had the biggest shift in enjoyment that I’ve had of any mods.
Pretty much just made these upgrades to my rig(jsut not fanatec) so worth it.
My RSeat S1 alacantara, and new PC ate up a lot of my budget, but still ended up with V3, and CSL Elite wheel. The Fanatec low budget wheel is way better than the old T300. I will get a bigger rim for the wheel base, because all I do is dirt oval. Did I mention my Vive Cosmos? Almost forgot. It’s a game changer. Nothing like being able to look off into corners.
I wish i could do the welding you do man, my gt omgea rig needs some strengthening for the dd2. Great job 👍🏽 and yes the green hell is tricky but stick with it it’s awesome.
Nice set up.
Nice setup
If you have 3rd to 1st gear miss shifts with the Fanatec shifter, it’s the sensor spacing. Basically the side to side sensor inside the shifter needs to be shimmed out a couple mm. That fixed mine for good.
Love the sim content
1:50 cheeky poster of Stonehenge in the back round, uk gang👌🏽🇬🇧
Awesome content. I'm building a mada 3 race car and sim racing to improve my skills
Hey love the set up. I am looking to add motion to my set up so I am contemplating that set up in this video, or just adding a motion to my rig. I have the GT Omega RS 9. My main question is, would the motion setup make a lot of noise for my neighbors down below me? I did add a 1 inch Gym square padding underneath. Thanks in advance!!! Love the vids!! keepem going!!
Yeah I got a trackball mouse for my sim rig! Great minds think alike buddy!
That setup is cherry my guy. Loved the video.
I love my Fanatec stuff; I even had their much more basic wheel and pedals for the original x box. I think it was called the speedster 3? Still in the closet waiting on my daughters to get big enough to drive!
Although I cant afford to do these elaborate Sim setups and rigs, I do admire what you guys can do to make Simulator driving and racing more realistic and fun to do. I was curious what you used for displays for driving, and I see you do VR like myself. I dont do your style of racing, but I do different styles of racing (Karting, F1, and Indycar). I raced real gokarts when I was younger. thanks for the video.
I love my sim set up. I have a Samsung curved 55" qled 4k tv on mine. Had to reinforce it. And it's way overkill. But, It's my hideaway spot. I can tell you, I know how expensive they get. Luckily I got my tv and few other goodies on a nice sale.
'Liked' the moment you said 'aluminium' 😁
Haha he drops it every now and then. Its a treat for us English
You need to play dirt on iracing dirt late models! You’ll love it man it’s nothing but close drift racing
Those welds though!😳
I love how sandy is always in the general area of taylor, she (i think) is one heccin good cat
I thought Sandy was a male cat
11:28 that miata looks clean ngl
all the decent tracks are 45min+ away and ive been looking vr setups to play corsa instead of having to leave to the track after school to make it to events, and i think this is the way to go.
new setup looks sick. i just wanna say though if you had to help your old wheel on transition something might not have been setup right. i have csl and once i finally got all the settings dialed it performs great the thing self steers fast and with lots of power. but when i first got it out of the box it didn't feel too good.
Taylor if you watch the steering box while you sim the back lifts up and flexs... You may want to add a rear bracket and stiffen it up..... That will only add to the overall effect
Fanatec for the win. Ive got a sqeaky Logitech, it's fine, but proper force feedback is sick too.
