I got the shaft to mount my push pull shifters and DDU mount, not a monitor. Because the shorter shaft lengths (which almost all my wheels have) were leading to my wheels either colliding with the shifters or the DDU. Seems to be really useful, can't wait to try and see if it works the way i think it will

[@TheSimCircuit]

100% a longer shaft will sort your problem matey. What pull pull shifter do you have? I realy want one for a long time but always thought its allot of money for what it is however the simlabs one looks good quality and value for the money 🤔

[@mohamedube]

@ yeah I just received the simlab push pull. I’m doing some changes to my setup right now replacing my Invicta Wheelbase with a Simucube and switching my mounting system to a Simcore so it’s unfortunately going to be a bit of time before I can install and try it out. That said I did put on the long extension on my invicta and it’s excellent. Let’s see how it performs when I put it on the third party extension on my simucube 🤣😅

[@TheSimCircuit]

​@@mohamedube be worth the wait I know simcore has recently made an update to their mounting system and it looks very good, very handy for mounting ddu's

[@wi11yy]

I love your videos man. Always keeps me informed with a lot of laughter. How are you liking the lmp handles on the forte wheel?

[@TheSimCircuit]

Thanks matey the goal is to make it bit lighthearted but informative also 🙌🏻 the lmp handles are a weird one to be honest because I find they are great for racing without gloves but find them rather slippery with gloves 🤷🏼‍♂️ normally it’s the other way round 🤔 they are also very spongy/squishy out of all the handles I have I prefer the xl handles but that’s cause I have large hands so the extra girth helps 😘

[@GregoryShtevensh]

That DDU was impressive

[@TheSimCircuit]

Love my SimDash DDU very well made 6.8” all aluminium. Also price well priced compared to competitors. Check them out on instagram SimDash 👍🏻

[@pawieplays]

Stand off screw to extend your DDU as well. Works well. And that's another shaft. haha

[@TheSimCircuit]

🤪 got enough shafts now, not bad shout with stand off screw. I did see simcore coming out with a solution that looks very clean and practical not sure when it will be available though 🤔

[@robmarley45]

Been waiting for a QR WHEELBASE EXTENTION. Better late than never. Would have been nice to have offered the same shaft options as with the 3rd party QR ADAPTER. Especially for that price point.

[@robmarley45]

Just realized that when you expand the product description tucked away all the way at the bottom via a minuscule link is an option for a longer shaft available for purchase. Kind of a shady way to give you the longer option, but only in addition to the base option.

[@TheSimCircuit]

Yes so for longer option you can buy the cylinder that cost $29.99 but what’s weird is that my long shaft I got from buying my original qr’s all come with the a 146mm shaft and the one that Asetek sells as extra is also 146mm 🤷🏼‍♂️ maybe it could be my unit but I was pulling as hard as I could without doing damage to the wire and my wire was about 5-7mm to short

Could very easily 3d print a mount for the DDU

[@TheSimCircuit]

Not a bad shout I did get a 3de printer this year but have yet to design anything myself this might be a nice little side project 🤔

[@filiposay]

Really want the 3rd party base qr, but too expensive to add the wheel qr. I use 2 wheels in Simucube, the gt neo and one for rally. Use qr like the moza/simucube, and I have the wire of the gt neo with velcro in the shaft, which make it clean and unnoticiable, but when changing to rally become an issue. If the new simagic neo hub x is good for rally I will get it and share the magik link wire that connects with magnets so easy. If not, then I would need to save and buy this asetek option cause lots of time I am too lazy to change and wire wheels to play different games/cars.

[@TheSimCircuit]

I don’t have the the hub x but got invited to try some new SiMagic stuff hopefully I can give you some feedback on the hub. Asetek was talking about a cheaper qr that will not have the electronics but that could be good for your rally wheel. Not sure though when this will be coming to market either 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hi, is the file of the wheelbase front cover published anywhere by any chance? I would love to replace it on my Invicta too

Hey matey I can’t remember where I got that file from but I do have it saved on my pc. Send me an email and I can forward to you 👍🏻 [e-mail]

[@eduarprmd]

I suggest making a video showing the actual wheel base side installation on a Simucube 2 Pro base.

[@TheSimCircuit]

It is just 6 screws, exactly the same as attaching a qr to your steering wheel but on the base instead. I did actually record a bit showing me doing just that but I cut that from the video to not make it too long of a watch. In the video I briefly zoom into the 3de party qr when talking about the wire there you will see the bolts I’m referring to. Asetek left a notch for the usb wire to come out from that’s about it not much to it.

[@eduarprmd]

We remove the Simucube motor side asymmetric 3 bolt QR and attach a wider Asetek 6 bolt plate using the same screws maybe, then attach the Asetek QR to this? I realize this was not a tutorial. Im definitely doing this but also have OCD 😂

[@TheSimCircuit]

Yes I see what you mean, I have an adapter plate on the Simucube asymmetric bolts then bolted the Asetek Qr to that

[@ddoroslovac]

Hahah clicked on because of the name of this video😂 stayed on because of Barry Wood 😂😂😂

Nice 👌 I am very eager to try some SiMagic bases I have never had a go on one but heard so many good things. You will be happpy with your QR’s thou of that I’m sure

[@berrydex]

Question: I use all my usb peripherals (wheel, pedal etc) directly to the pc. Is a powered usb hub better for wheels with screen? Or does a pc also counts as a powered hub/connection? Any good tips for a powered usb hub?

[@TheSimCircuit]

Oh I would say a powered usb hub is a must. Most pc usb ports can’t match the power of an independently powered usb hub. Some steering wheels do require more power to use screens and leds at max power. Also connecting things like cameras or file transfers are very fast. I bought of Amazon and paid like £60 a 12 usb port but check AliExpress most Amazon product just rebranded AliExpress stuff so can probably pick up a good one for half the price I paid 🙌🏻

[@filiposay]

Sabrent looks like the go to for simracers, there are different options, I always would go for the newest version and most expensive with less features, that means is up to date and best quality components (instead of pay for unnecessary gadgets). About what you connect on it, I would use DDU, base and similar that need to pass more power and data in/out (the base pass info to the PC but the pc pass info to the base too) directly to the faster ports in the PC (2.0 / 3.0 are out of the deal) and then the hub for pedals, shifters, button boxes, leds.., that pass data in only and the power is minimum. If you don't have usb 3.2 in the pc you need the powered hub, before you kill the ports in the pc or the peripherals for work under enough power

[@ty194]

I'm still here wondering whether I should drop the money for an Asetek Invicta wheelbase or a Simucube 2 Pro. The procrastination is real😢

[@TheSimCircuit]

I know matey it’s not an easy choice, what I can say with confidence is that you will be happy with either. Keep in mind using Asetek QR’s will cost you extra but imo well worth it 🙌🏻 if you want to know anything specific ask away 😘

[@sulleysaad3266]

Got it!! thanks man! Keep up the good work !! 👍

[@targaW3007]

Very useful, but the price??? How did they justify this price?

[@TheSimCircuit]

I also think the shaft is pricy but I am guessing the reason is you have a base side QR on the one side and a wheel side qr on the other side of the shaft🤷🏼‍♂️ Other shafts from simcore/hrs/GSI etc.. are about half the price but with no electronics they are just mechanical. They also have in most cases just the standard 70mm bolt pattern on each side so much cheaper to produce 🤔 It works very very well and is built like a tank but for that price it should be.

[@IvebenKruzen]

First it was the "Asetek Personal Pleasurer Device" and now the new "Asetek Big Black Shaft", we are starting to worry about you. 😂

[@TheSimCircuit]

The content writes it self not my fault 😂 they say things come in threes so I wonder if the Invicta wheel that’s coming Friday will be naughty or nice 😂😘

[@reviewforthetube6485]

We all want longer shafts. So yeah 😉 😉 Black or white! So wait you now have a simucube wheelbase? Congrats! Also idk wtf sasetke is thinking 250? Wtf Btw i figured you would like to know the p1000s do in fact come with the new electornics now. I got mine 1 month ago works perfeclty! So good legit reduced my laptimes 4/10ths within 2 days of use i was shook. They just fit me and how I felt I should have been the entire time. Worked with my style of long trail braking.

[@TheSimCircuit]

Being married for so long I don’t need a longer shaft but I’m sure the wife will say different 😂 I have had a Simucube wheelbase for probably 3-4 years now but been using my Invicta for last year maybe bit longer. 250 for the shaft is expensive but technically it’s a wheel and base side qr it is made very well but should be for the price. Yes my P1000 going strong since new circuit boards have been fitted but with all the attachments added I could almost afford one of the new active pedals 🙃

[@reviewforthetube6485]

@TheSimCircuit true lol have you tested the simucube active pedals? I love my p1000s on hydraulics like so good i can't imagine my consistency and laptimes being better. But god thode simucube active pedals feels so damn incredible. The push back the being able to adjust the brake for every single car with a click of a button is probably the coolest part of it most don't talk about. That to me id the selling point. You just click a button and it changes the entire feel! Like what? I love it has travel also like so good for trail braking. Me loves some travel! But you can make it whatever you want. P1000s imo are the most customizable behind the simucubes. But with the p1000 you need all of the extra parts like you are saying. So then the simucube active pedals almost become worth it when you think about it that way. But then again I bought the 2 pedal set for under 600. Thentotal1 hydraulic for the brake so it's around 700 total then the brake kit so 720. So really not that close in price because that's really all you need but yeah still pretty incredible.

[@TheSimCircuit]

@@reviewforthetube6485 I’m taking my bank card to the expo and I’m itching for the active pedal, maybe if I get some discount 🤔 even 10% at that price point will make a big difference. I shortlisted 3 wheel bases, wheels and pedals I want to try wile I am there and I won’t be coming home empty handed however I will only be buying one thing not 1 of each unfortunately. Very eager to see the Invicta wheel also 🤩 I very briefly used the now called active pedal ultimate but could not play around with settings at all so definitely not had the full experience.
