So I’m looking to upgrade my wheel from an logitech g920 to a moza r9 or a moza r12 but I’m worried my playseat challenge isn’t sturdy enough for that. Like that it will shake to much. What do you think?
A playseat challenge is going to be sturdy enough to hold those bases, there will be noticeable flex but it should be fine.
Im saying this next part as some advice, i wouldnt upgrade the wheelbase first if i were in your position, now after having upgraded most of my sim to a pretty strong point here is the order i would recommend:
1. Upgrade the frame itself, a profile rig was definitely the most noticeable change for me and there being no flex made me a lot more consistent.
2. Upgrade the pedals, a nice set of load cell pedals will improve consistency by a lot and it can also help you go faster.
3. Finally upgrade the wheelbase, the wheelbase itself isnt that crucial for overall enjoyment in my opinion, it is nice for immersion but its not that great without having the other components first.
Yeah I was thinking about changing the frame (maybe making it myself out of pvc) but I just don't have the space. But maybe I'll buy pedals instead. Thanks for the advice!
Pvc isnt exactly a good idea, i would go either for a wooden rig or a profile rig. How short on space are you? These rigs are actually not as big as some people think and look much bigger on camera, i have mine squeezed into a pretty tight space
Like maybe 1.25 meters by 3 meters
My rig itself has a footprint of like 1.4 meters by 0.6 meters
Ow, that could work. And if I make it myself i can still buy the pedals.
Yeah, i would recommend copying the dimensions of the simlab gt1 evo and using wood to build something similar
I can change to feet if needed
Thanks
Maybe some additional bracing here and there since its wood
Ok, thank you for your advice! May you be happy for eternity 🙂
No worries man, hope i could help
