Best DIY Sim Racing Rig For Under $35! (Budget Build w/ Plans)

Building my DIY budget Sim Racing Rig. In this video I use wood to create a fully functional budget friendly sim racing cockpit. You can get all the supplies from you local hardware store for less than $35! ADDITIONAL BUILD INFORMATION BELOW!!
DIY Blueprint (Download):
drive.google.c...
Uprights are cut at a 25 degree angle on top.
On the top 1x8, the 2x2's run across the width to give support.
The 2x2 on the shifter arm is cut at a 45 degree angle on both sides and provides support to the bottom of the arm.
A 2x6 was used underneath the chair for support however depending on what chair you're using your mount may be different. For example for a real car seat you may be able to mount the rails directly on the base.
▶Most commonly asked question is where to get the chair. I strongly suggest looking at your local Goodwill or thrift store. However, here is a similar chair to mine you can get on Amazon.

it's cool to see what the simulator community can do with a couple of 2x4's screws and a idea

give them a nagging wife and they can also built in less than one day, less than 50 bucks and on wheels that can be carried away or tucked in or folded in less than 10 seconds. I know by myself.

Next time if you want to have an easier time making it square and make it a little stronger. Have the front and back horizontal boards sit sideways in between the length of the two long boards. Then put a 90° triangle piece in every corner and then screw it tight. The force of the drill we'll pull the sides into the middle piece you create and make a perfect square and it will add a lot more strength.

@RealExpiredMilk 8 ай бұрын

That's awesome, I hope it comes out well! The pedals on mine werent affixed to the rig, what I ended up doing was just putting a small piece of wood at the back of the base for it to rest on to give it an incline. It was a slight bit shorter than the 2x4 of the base so it rested against the back and never moved. I hope this makes sense!
