My cockpit project - Traumatic

[Ben Tusting]

Looking to spend no more than £250 on steering wheel/pedals and seat. what's the best thing to go for.
Sorry about this post again but i can't decide what to get

G25, and forget the seat for the time being then. From hungary i race from a normal office chair, just took out the wheels, and with a G25, and i can race with the same confidence level as from my VPP rack with the ECCI. Of course the immersion and the precision is not the same, and i am more stable in a long run from the professional set.

A decent pedal is the most imprtant part of any driving set, much more important then anything else, including the wheel, and for the amount of money you can spend on it the G25 is the only option in my view. Those pedals are making the G25 high above the other commercial wheels, not the wheel itself.

the problem is i dont have anywhere to put the wheel, I've got a racing seat on wheels but i would need something to put the steering wheel on. Thats why i was looking at a playseat. Have you got an ideas on what i could do if i brought the g25

[Attila Domján]

I am racing with the G25 from a normal PC office table.

never tought you were a smoker atti

and yes i think g25 is best for that amount of money, but if you are a bit handy you can buy a usb board were you can fit rotary encoders or pot meters on it (the way the position of the pedals are put in the pc ) and then you could build yourself some high performance pedals your self.
then its about the quality of the Pots you put in and good one are around 40 euro ( most expensive ones i think) then offcourse you have to build the rest......( told experiences from other builders is that it cost more then you think hehehe)

but its an option if you can get some parts cheap offcourse

im gonna build mine after the summer :drunk:

hey, i accidentally run into this:
o b u t t o - cockpit details

Reasonable price of 259 USD for a complete cokpit frame with seat, perfect for G25, shipping can be an issue though... currently i would say optimal low price purchase for US people.

I've been in contact with them for a while since I ordered one a few months ago, but it was sold out, and I have had to wait for one to be built (hopefully should arrive sometime this month). Atti is correct, shipping to non-US people is an issue, as the cockpit is very heavy and the box is large. I think to ship anywhere other than US would probably cost more than the price of the cockpit itself. I know that they are trying to find a European distributor, so perhaps soon this will not be a problem.

[Ben Tusting]

Does anybody know a cheap website for playseats and frames

[Attila Domján]

I think they have the same price everywhere more or less.
