Sim racing · head‑to‑head
Choosing between these two cockpits comes down to prioritizing raw, unyielding rigidity or a striking, motorsport-inspired aesthetic. The 6S-160 V2 Sim Racing Chassis offers a heavy-duty, traditional profile build, while the Res-Tech Smart Cockpit opts for a lighter, curved design that breaks away from the standard industrial look.
The 6S-160 V2 is plagued by reports of poor customer service, shipping delays, and outdated assembly instructions from 6 Sigma Sim Racing. Meanwhile, the Res-Tech Smart Cockpit features an angled wheel deck that makes height adjustments tedious, as changing the height also shifts the wheel's distance from you.
If you want absolute rock-solid stability for high-end direct drive wheelbases and do not mind dealing with poor customer support and confusing instructions, the 6S-160 V2 Sim Racing Chassis is the stronger performer. However, if you value a lightweight, visually striking design and are willing to pay a premium despite tedious ergonomic adjustments, the Res-Tech Smart Cockpit offers a unique alternative.
