My custom PVC sim racing cockpit

A tour of my homemade $265 PVC sim racing cockpit

[@nchaichan]

Nice job on the rig! It'll be a few years before I have the room to put mine together but it's never too early to start planning and your video definitely helps with some ideas. I also love the interaction with your child...priceless!

[@VBshredder]

Great run down man, like the way you explained the process of building it. Moving soon myself, cockpit will be a priority i'm over the desk!

[@astrobot7]

Thats sick! Paint it what ever color u like and it will look even better then a boughten one

[@bsdguy]

Very cool. Good American ingenuity!!!!

[@DrunkenKnight71]

one of the best looking pvc cockpits I've seen...10 years on, still using it?

[@Legallgaming]

Bro this rig is damn good!!! I’m gonna build one of these 😊

[@7noro7]

such a good idea man i was always thinking about wood but pvc tubes looks like fckin pipes cage good job thanks !

[@regismaltais8269]

yes i see that you are very good with your hands thanks for the plan

[@panaitevlad1364]

Awsome job man.Congraz. I am planing to build one at the end of the month but with single 32 inch screen.Can you please share the plans of it and the shopping list plsease. Thank you.

[@DannyWalker1949]

W0W! What a Rig. You done a great job on it. I don't know "IF" I would paint it. It L00K's G00d to me as is.................................=)

[@wakuritz4506]

LMAO! Give that child another donut, dammit!

[@tatometal]

Awesome sir, I will build me one soon thanks for posting.

[@mikey2111]

Do you have some sort of schematic with measurements? And the parts that went in to it? I'm thinking of building one myself and i am now making up a budget of how much of what i need. I've seen the one on insideracing but this one looks more sturdy. Thanks in advance

[@daveb1635]

Nice racing rig man great job

[@TheAlOnEReaPer]

Very nice design ! Would be it possible to have the plan for the measures and the used parts please?

[@dans5595]

thank you for sharing this! i'm gonna start one this weekend.

[@Jinxtah123]

Nice DIY. I wish I could do such stuff myself.

[@techandtipsgamer8286]

Jinxtah You can, just start by planning it in google sketch up and developing it as you go

[@paulokareka9491]

Friend congratulations on your cockpit I wonder if u like detailing all the measures and list of material used. I wanted to make an equal but I´m afraid to do something wrong

[@Wilburnator]

I like it, nice job

[@pharohbender]

very nice rig, awesome design ;)

[@slowster2945]

On the whole "disassembly at a later date" argument, why build the rig in 3 or 4 main parts? Each part could be glued together, and then use screws to fasten the separate 'parts' for the final assembly?

[@slowster2945]

Slowster Also, gotta say that the more I see custom cockpits the more I want to build my own. I'm at a desk for now, but looking to the future. The satisfaction you have in your own work makes the task just that much more appealing! I really hope you got into a house. What are you racing with now???

[@desirico]

I'm willing to pay for plans. I'm looking to build this exact setup can you help me out?

[@carlosf132]

Awesome! Some black paint, maybe?

[@jayd1k]

I was thinking about doing just this!!! I'm glad to see a working fram. I want to use one with a VR helmet. Nice work!!!!Did you think about, running all the wires through the PVC Pipe? How about mounting the speakers?

[@simulationjunkie]

well done.

[@ChrisIhao]

Kudos man! Well done!

[@frankszendzielarz6350]

Now that's cool!

[@rickyhogan2749]

this is great !!

[@idevonstudious]

Could you possibly put up a like for the design I know you made it up by going along but it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@johnmac9250]

Home Cheapo FTW!!!

[@DKSimulationGaming]

awesome

[@matthewgoh9809]

Nice

[@bobbyjonas]

What size pipe did you use? Going to be building something like this with some more options on it.

[@Bee_Bill287]

Looks like 50mm

[@bowtiethirteentwenty8627]

2" PVC is usually recommended schedule 40. Sch40 is thicker walled tube

[@ji3200]

Bowtie Thirteentwenty you should get a oculus rift dk2. its really hard for me to go back to screen gaming. there is just no speed sensation or immersion with screen. don't forget oculus is NOT A 3dtv!! day and night difference

[@hamzterix]

Nice build! I know it's been a while since you posted this but what about noises does it squeaks under loads while In use? If yes how bad is it. Thanks much.

[@fifaking1909]

paint it in black and you will see no difference compared to a metal one ^^

[@Flare3103]

Does it makes noise when you moving around?

[@1Atom12]

Would you be willing to send me the plans and parts list?

[@chadcaylor5653]

can u make planes of how u made it

[@mehdibouchebri6866]

how much does all of the pvc cost

[@Oneone111one]

I still don't have a smart phone, but if I get a retired one can I still get an app on it with no service? So I can do something similar like you have?

[@ulisesfernandez7905]

You should be able if you connect it to wifi.

[@hosericardo]

Anyone know what size pipe he is using??

[@ShartSydePhil]

I wanna say it was 2". Maybe 2 1/2"

[@DennisLaceyVlogs]

hehehe, you are not getting another doughnut!

[@Bricks56]

Nice, now paint it black. Please.

[@MrSuperAbsinth]

what diameter did you use?

[@bowtiethirteentwenty8627]

Usually 2" PVC schedule 40 is recommended, it has a thicker wall and is more sturdy. :)

[@DJBYZ]

Very nice Rig, and you helped me out in building one. I used your idea but i changed the front area with the monitors. Whats your email address i would like to share my design with you.

[@leshaunx]

Craig Benjamin would you might sharing with me? I'm working on a similar build.

[@DJBYZ]

leshaunx email me at [e-mail] i will send u pics and a video

[@spidey.6843]

I like d the part when you cry.

[@spidey.6843]

Like I cried when I go t a hot water heater.

[@spidey.6843]

Tears of blood.
