Hi guys simlab here. Nice vid!

[@toddmcdonough]

In America we have a steel product called SuperStrut. Its not as pretty as 8020 aluminum but it is similar to work with. Its available at local hardware stores like Lowes or Home Depot. To give you an example of price: A 10' (3 meter) bar of 1-5/8" square tubing is $18.57. I'm building a rig to hold my Fanatec CSL Elite kit/ with H-shifter, Jegs 70200 seat, and 49" 4k tv. My total cost is around $150 for the rig and $45 for the seat (still tweaking the design). That CAD program you are using is real slick. I'm stuck using tinker CAD on a Chromebook. My operation is a truly low budget. For angle adjustment of the wheel, if you decided you want it, you can use the slotted hole brackets on the sides of your wheel mount extensions. Cheers and good luck building.

[@SimRacingCorner]

Very ingenious Todd. SuperStrut does look like an interesting option. It should work fine for lighter gear.

[@HughBarrow]

Great video! I ordered the parts in your spreadsheet from a US supplier today and am excited to build it!

[@mciarlillo1309]

Which supplier did you use and what did it end up costing? I was going to check Misumi to price this out.

[@FINWombat]

I just decided to see what it would cost me to build this rig setup, with all the exact pieces and fasteners, and the price difference with freight fees comes so close to the price of simlabs version, that i couldn't justify going the DIY way. And thats the thing, unless you have a 8020 supplier nearby and you can get reasonable freight prices or even pick up its probably cheaper and then i could see it. But i also can appreciate the designwork Simlab has put to the rig in the first place so I prefer to support the company instead, pay a little extra for essentially the same product. This way I support as many jobs as possible in the line of production.

[@lucaa47]

Hi, Trying to save space here to then place a independent 3 monitor stand on the outside of the base. 1. If we place the vertical 40x120 on top of the base 40x80, would the rig be still as STURDY/STABLE as your design? or will be be less stable? Any particular reason you kept the vertical on the outside instead of on top? 2. If we go with the 40x120 on top of 40x80 option would you recommend to reduce height from 790mm to 710mm or to still keep it 790mm? Thanks and waiting for your reply as im ready to place order. Thanks a ton 😊🙏💐

[@SimRacingCorner]

1. You can, but I'd recommend you use joining plates instead of the basic brackets to prevent flex. That's the reason this design has the uprights on the outside, so they can be sufficiently secured with these angle brackets. 2. I would reduce the height.

[@andrean-rakka]

gt1 evo user here looking to add and make mine better

[@jaywarren3505]

couple questions.... are your wheel base stanchions 300mm? 300mm is the shortest in your xls, so i'm assuming they are. also i'm looking at purchasing a clubsport wheelbase 2.5 from fanatec and it looks like it has a 3 bolt triangle pattern for mounting. have you considered how this 4 point square style would accommodate that?

[@SimRacingCorner]

The clubsport comes with an angle bracket that provides a 4 bolt pattern that will work with this.

[@SimRacingCorner]

Otherwise. Just make a deck out of board, drill and bolt through.

[@jaywarren3505]

Ah I didn't know about the bracket, ty for telling me!

[@jaywarren3505]

Have you added any type of feet to your rig? I wanted to do 6 leveling style feet but they are 25% of the total cost!! I'm considering skipping them and just setting the rig right on the floor.

[@SimRacingCorner]

@@jaywarren3505 I've added 4 rubber feet to mine, but sitting the frame on the floor is just fine really.

Hey! Love this. Going to give it a go. Please may you recommend parts to order to add a single monitor mount to the frame, rather than a floor standing monitor stand?

[@punkish7]

having a difficult time finding a supplier in US for the brackets and t-nuts. I must be using poor search terms. Motidis has them, but shipping is crazy expensive. MK has the extruded aluminum, but no t-nuts, or the type of bracket needed. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@tonyhou253]

Great plan

[@ranakirti]

at some places where you have used 2x 4040bracket, is it better to use a single 4080 corner bracket instead? Are 2x 4040 corner bracket inherently more stable than a 1x 4080 corner bracket?

[@SimRacingCorner]

I think there will be times when spreading the load with 2 4040 brackets is better than a single 4080 bracket.

[@Skate2create]

Hey bud. Sorry to dig up an old vid, just wanted your view on whether this is still a viable option (self build old style SimLab GT1) in comparison to the current SimLab GT1 Evo rig? Price wise theres only about £40 quid in it (inc shipping) between the two. I can see a lot of the extrusion has been removed, with custom aluminium plate used for the pedal area on the newer evo version. I'm currently using a modded up playseat challenge (due to the need for it to be folded away) with a TX wheel, T3PA pedals and TH8A shifter, but I'm going to have the opportunity for a permanent rig in the next few months, so I'd appreciate your views :)

[@SimRacingCorner]

No worries, this is still quite a popular video. The EVO GT1 is very nice at a good price point, it's a really good option. The DIY build in the video will be a bit more sturdy than the EVO GT1, but nothing of concern and would still be stiff enough to carry a direct drive wheel. I do like the look of it. I don't think you can go wrong with the EVO GT1.

[@Skate2create]

@@SimRacingCorner Appreciate the reply. As this build (and in most dimensions, the GT1 Evo) is similar to your rig, would you think it would slide under a desk right up to the back of the steering upright extrusions? Just playing with ideas of the screen being sat on a desk/arm mounted, so I can push it back and use my PC for 3D CAD etc. as well as for sim duties.

[@SimRacingCorner]

@@Skate2create You could the slide pedal area under a desk, to the point the uprights of the wheel deck would butt up to the tabletop. You should need about 450mm of depth (measurement taken from my rig) under the desk for the pedal area to fit.

[@SimRacingCorner]

I originally bought my cockpit from Sim Lab, then drew up the design into this CAD software.

[@pitbull7448]

great work can't wait to build one of these beauts :)

[@TheStobe84]

What kind of seat goes with this? Can you put most seats on it and adjust them? Does the design have any of those quick tightening parts so you can easily move pedals and seat around?

[@SimRacingCorner]

The point of this type of build is it's easily adjustable to fit all types of gear (including seats) and modular. Eg. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmmZfYx9htaLZq8

@@SimRacingCorner Ok I'm sold, that was a cool video. So you can basically put anything on it as long as you figure it out how to do it. Little bit of like playing with a puzzle. I think starting basic and then adding things little by little with time is the way to go.

[@SimRacingCorner]

Yes, it's a completely versatile platform you can add too and move things around, and structurally stiff. The materials are easy to work with, there's no real skill needed. The design in the video covers the essential base measurements and parts for the structure.

[@TheStobe84]

@@SimRacingCorner Thank you for the quick answers. I checked a site that sells 8020 and all the parts and sky is the limit for this. I'm going to check your videos on if you have triple screen stand too and other rigs. I would wish many seating positions were possible, and it would be a bit higher from the ground than this rig. This would be good enough for my needs as is though, just nitpicking.

Hi, great video but 5 years old. I am looking into sim rigs right now (like a lot of people) and would really like to know if this is still going to be more cost effective than buying off the shelf?

[@SimRacingCorner]

You'll need to do your own research on this, and check the parts against local suppliers for the best price and see if it's worth the effort of a DIY vs. a turnkey option. The only thing I'll add, is for the connecting brackets, AliExpress is the cheapest place to find all those pieces. Ultimately, a DIY build will be always cheaper if you don't mind shopping around for the materials.

[@49notout]

@@SimRacingCorner thanks 👍

[@SimRacingCorner]

Actually, you can check out my setup in my most recent sim rig tour. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmmZfYx9htaLZq8. It's modded a bit over the years to accommodate gear I've attached, but essentially the foundation of the rig is unchanged.

[@notmeiko]

Do I need any tipe of machninig for M8 screws?

[@sipmarton]

Great idea for a video and nicely done! Naive question: do you think scaling it down to 20x20 size would compromise rigidity? Reason I am asking is that it is 1/3 the price here in Hungary compared to 40x40 profiles.

[@SimRacingCorner]

My 3D printer frame is constructed from 20x20. It's only good for lightweight applications so not strong enough for significant weight-bearing. But 30x30 would work though. It's not unknown for people to use 30x30 for sim rig builds.

[@heuksalman]

the pedal mount seems bit high no?

[@brandaopj]

Congrats for you work. Do you have a video with the final product?

[@SimRacingCorner]

I already have a 80/20 built sim rig so I didn't build this one.

[@tanknl001]

I noticed the video and frame designer scene have 40x120x660 uprights. The excel parts list and may-cad model have 40x120x790 uprights. I assume simlab increased this length because of their custom wheelmount part.

[@SimRacingCorner]

Yes, you correct, the 790mm is based on the SimLab custom wheel mount. I would say though if you going with a wheel mount design like mine, I would recommend 760mm (minimum) uprights or taller. Having the freedom the adjust wheel deck height is important. In hindsight, 660mm is a bit short.

[@simracer1256]

Is the rake of the pedal deck adjustable on this design? Looking at it, I wondered if it could be adjusted by braking the tabs off the 40/40 brackets that connect the pedal deck to the uprights?

[@SimRacingCorner]

Yes, that's exactly how you would adjust the angle.

[@simracer1256]

@@SimRacingCorner Thanks! It's bloody complicated working all this out, so these videos are really helpful! I was going to buy adjustable angle brackets, but if I can do it with just breaking the tabs off the 40/40 brackets, I will do that.

[@chloeanne4305]

Hello good day, nice video. just want to ask, i saw on your buying list that it has the 80x40, 120x40 measurments. Unfortunately the store that i asked to said that they only have thr 40x40 size, but they said that they have this kind of "joiner" to make it for the size im looking for.. are you familiar with the "joiner".. will that work to make me have the 80x40 and 120x40.. sorry for the questions, i am new to all of these..

[@SimRacingCorner]

The joiners, I'm assuming, are straps which join together the stacked pieces of aluminium. You can see them being used here: kzbin.infoXDhY71ot16U. It's works, but personally, I wouldn't want to use them for the entire sim rig build.

[@chloeanne4305]

@@SimRacingCorner Thank you, just subscribed. thanks for the tips. one last question though, based from your build design, it seems that the wheel deck or mount is not adjustable in terms of angle, like for example you want the wheel to be somewhat upward angle.. how do you think this can be done?

[@SimRacingCorner]

Depending on the wheelbase, a different solution may need to be worked out to get an angle. What wheelbase are you using or planning to run? For example, In the video I pointed you too, I am able to get some angle using the brackets that connect the wheelbase to the props (standard 40/40 angle brackets, but I could increase the angle with 40/80 brackets). And for example, with a Thrustmaster/Logitech wheelbase, it's designed with an angle already for placement on a flat surface like a desk.

[@SimRacingCorner]

Also, you could combine your DIY build with a third party wheelbase mount like this sort of thing. trakracer.com/products/wheel-deck-with-full-slide-and-angle-adjustment?_pos=35&_sid=e777a59b3&_ss=r.

The rear pillars are high to allow the pedal deck to be tilted. And the design does overcompensate by trying to be a universal platform to support all circumstances. Of course you are free to alter the design for your needs.
