Well... the celeb got what wanted... the bragging rights... ain´t it all what matters...

I feel like the rig is mainly for his friends to come use lol. But 70k is nothing to Joe.

I keep pausing to come here and say how stupid this build is, and then I unpause it and they some other ridiculous BS. 15-20 hours to run wires? What wires? 15-20 hours you could do custom wiring in an actual car to make it actually work. Did they create the literal copper to make the wires? 3 hours to run each wire to where it plugs in? It's not possible to spend 20 hours to wire a sim rig, this video is a joke. Oh sorry, I forgot they're the "worlds leader" in sim building.

@@Hardcasltewiring a race car or old car maybe. Modern cars, would take much longer than that lol. But yes, they don’t need 15 hours for a sim rig

@@genie3531 Let me preface this by making it absolutely clear that I'm not a fan of Mr.Rogan. That said, do You actually know that he paid anything, let alone 70$k for this ? Or are You taking it from this video (or some other "rumour mill")? Now I'm not "knocking You", I'm just pointing out that the fact that this guy says that "it's for Mr.Rogan" and that "it's 70$k" in no way means that he paid that amount for it !! For all we know, Mr.Rogan might have a deal with this "manufacturer", meaning that they paid him, Or that that he just paid a small part of the sum, for letting them "use his name and likeness while promoting their company"...

its the typical sell-more culture from the us for me

If they knew what they were doing they would have put an X3D AMD CPU in that thing. Much better with (0,)1% lows, less FPS fluctuations.

and the subwoofer facing away from the seat was another bit i found interesting...

​@@ugn669to give them the benefit of the doubt subs do radiate sound 360° and the rig may be set close to the wall during final installation so the speaker pointing that way won't be a problemand may even be beneficial. Having it on the same shelf with a PC with all the vibrations generated by it is dumb though. If you don't believe that subs radiate sound all around them check out TM Array used for Metallica's concerts. A system engineer from Meyer Sound designed a subwoofer array where the audience sees only the back of the subwoofers but sonically it just works and it works better than most people thought it would.

@@BeetjeVreemd and its waaaay cooler,honestly i dont get why people use latest intel procesors for gaming when there are 20 useless cores, its slowe because it runs hot,more expensive and non existent power efficiency makes your whole system 20 degrees hotter. And thats coming from dude that used intel forever.

I was thinking that too, my triple monitor setup at home (just msi 27inch 1440p panels) has a bezel free kit lol.

​@@AllanRobinson13bA bezel free kit would be nice considering the monitors are $2k each.

I think they're crappy old LCD tech too! I mean they're calling them "LED" or "QLED" or whatever now to fool people who don't know better, but LCD is crap no matter how many little backlights you put behind them.

To be fair 70K is like 5 bucks to him. If somebody shows him something better he'll just bin it and get a new one.

the no bezel kit only work for upto 27inch monitors (i know it might fit 32inch too) so thats why there is no bezel kit

100% agree!!

I subscribed because of it ❤

Bruh I was thinking this as well, they also have the speakers pointed at the back of the monitors 🤮

Fully, I think they should simply have gone with 3 Simucube pedals - and at worst the throttle should be their "cheap" one). But I guess it'd eat into the ~$40K profit margin. Ultimates are awesome and all, speaking as a Sprints owner - but not for this kind of budget.

Not getting 3 active pedals for $70k might be the most ridiculous part of the build.

I saw the subwoofer hanging six feet off the floor and laughed. perfect encapsulation of how full of shit they are.

That's an ad, Joe is the one charging.

i wouldve never guessed there was a coating if they didnt mention it lol

I think it is silly to do that when Joe didn't even ask for it,.. like how much head room do they have in their pricing. it wouldn't of been cheap to get them sprayed.

@@manicgamingguy6161 it’s probably like being a salesman selling someone rich a 100k car. Might as well tack on the leather polish and window cleaning protection for an extra couple grand when the owner won’t look twice at it

I mean, in a motion rig, the lighter the rig, the more movement you end up getting, so technically, there is a reason for it. I think.

So clearly u didn’t listen a any point in this vid

@@Obi-WanKannabisi have motion. switching to a light weight carbon seat makes your motion less stressed, and smoother.

​@jamesowens1612 agreed, a lighter seat is more better in a motion rig. A carbon or aluminium bucket shell is suitable, for example a real racing bucket like a Kirkey works great - they are surprisingly affordable, very light and strong, and ideal for attaching haptic transducers to. Their padding is customizable, and removable for cleaning. Almost perfect, but you can't really adjust the seat back angle...which is also the case for most all racing buckets. So get it right when you order or buy.

Agreed, and as it was said in the video: The time that´s put into the cable-management alone is insane. There´s a reason why I never spent time on even trying, as long as I get in out of my seat without killing myself (or something cabled).

​ @CatToaster if they werent lying about it, then yes id agree... but...

@@Wouldpkr what exactly are we lying about? Lol.

What exactly are you telling the truth about? @@podium1racing

Yeah I don't see those Samsungs on a motion platform ever. Better to leave as is, and maybe also add VR to the mix. A Pimax Crystal would have scratched their wild profit margins somewhat, I guess.

i bought some sprint pedals from a guy on marketplace. Drove to his house to try them out as he had a second set on his motion rig. the monitors were mounted to the motion rig and were shaking so bad i had to ask him to turn the motion off.

There's a sim place in town that has motion rigs. I wasn't taken out of the experience by having the monitors free standing while the seat and wheel moved. And I agree, there's no way I'd want my monitors being shaken to death either.

@@TakeN0tes1293 that's bloody hilarious hahah I couldn't imagine installing monitors on my dbox.

Is it possible to have huge static mounted monitors separate from rig but have the video card simulating movement synced with rig? So that the picture scrolls up/down/sideways within the monitors?

You absolutely don't. This is also why we sell individual items day in and day out to people all over. We all started with small builds to get into sim racing and you definitely do NOT need a massive rig with the best gear to be a good driver.... I used a g923 with a single screen for a long time..

I have a 2500 dollar pit that I love to bits. Sure, I don't have full motion, but I also don't live in a mansion or own my own large house, so that's out of the question anyways. I raced with a FAR CHEAPER setup than 2500 for the longest time. 2500 bucks gets you a pit that truly feels like a luxury item already. I have all the top of the line thrustmaster stuff in a playseat trophy, and I feel like a king in that thing. If you're a VR racer, 2500 bucks gets you a really really nice setup cause you have no need for a screen. If you don't do VR you can get a good 120fps ultra wide for not a lot of money these days. There has never been a better time to be a sim racer. The DD wheels we get today are so god damn good compared to the stuff we used to drive with back in the day.. My first wheel had a centering elastic... No force feedback, just a literal elastic band inside the wheel that pulled it back to center.. Had the time of my life with that thing. To think that we get a DD wheel for just over 3x the price of the plastic toy-ass wheel I got in the 90s is NUTS. Absolutely insane. Whatever budget you have, you're going to get a super awesome cockpit compared to the super high end stuff of 2005. It's a fantastic time to be a racing gamer/simmer. We have it better than we realize most of the time. It's a golden era right now whether we understand it or not.

I mean there are better wheelbases, wheels with qualities that this collection doesnt offer, you could have 3 active pedals and not just one. Honestly not having the highest end of everything is a complete joke. I mean Joe wont care, he doesnt know, probably doesnt know somebody who knows that he is massively overpaying.

@@Xzibitfreek Well what can I tell you, I don't say that you can't build a similar rig for less but it is legitimately about $40K in parts. Lets see. The motion system is $9k, the seat is about $5k, the monitors are $9K, the H-pattern shifter is $2k. The active brake pedal is $2.5K, The other pedals and the fly sim stuff is about $1K, The PC is $3.5K. Then you have the wheelbase with four different wheels, which is about $5K. Then you have the aluminum profile rig and monitor stand plus custom mounts, the handbrake, the sound system, cables LEDs and other peripherals,...so yeah it's about $40K plus/minus

Sorry guys, they gotta pay for the labor and overhead.

Not a Joe Rogan fan, he’s a tool. But you actually DO approach using the runway in a helicopter in most airports etc. You just dont touch down on it.

Totally agree. It's even worth doing a regular bolt-tightening routine on a non-motion rig. It's also a racing tradition, for good reason! 😅

Not to be that guy, but it was definitely iRacing. Look at the green flag on the primary (middle) monitor when they start driving. ACC doesn’t have those UI elements.

It's the headline, the name. It's not so much about the actual performance, it's that it has the porsche paint, the legit recaro seat- the name that gets your attention. For the moment, intel still has a lead as far as name goes. Joe's not going to know the difference, he knows the name. WE could rag on choices as far as value goes for ages but in the end, this caters to a money pit like Joe like every other luxury brand that sacrifices value for... panache? Broad audience appeal or enthusiast, which garners more views?

Very true, but just using logic and agreeing with rig makers wouldn't made a good reaction video :)

who's saying it should have 70k worth of hardware? theres maybe 20k worth of hardware there, you're telling me the service is worth 50k? you can buy a Radical SR3 (used but bought through radical themselves) for that... you're telling me the service of buying a monitor and bolting together some standard rig parts is worth as much as what is basically a mini LMP?

@@RWoody1995 that was how it came across in the video. Constantly pointing to individual components and then "saying oh $70k is a lot" with no mention of the value provided by someone building a high end rig for what I assume is an entry level customer. Also, how do you know the hardware was only $20k? I don't know enough to give a solid estimate but those monitors and pc alone seemed pretty serious. Add in those two wheels, an official race ready seat, additional hardware for the flight sim components and $20k starts sounding low to me. Maybe I misunderstood the tone of the video but it sounded like the takeaway was that its a cool rig but Joe paid too much. I'm just pointing folks towards the value of service to customers unfamiliar with sim racing builds.

Joe saw a video his mate posted of his rig and thought I want that. It's as simple as that. Not worth the money but its literally pocket change to Joe.

😂

But your car is bouncing and yawing too so that means your seat is now moving differently to your environment and your dashboard.

A G27 is completely fine! There are people in Top ranks with Logitech Wheels! But...I know what you mean 😉

That's really all you need. I used to race with a DFGT i bought used over 10 years ago. Still got within about a 1 - 1.5s of the aliens. Consistency wasn't exactly there with the ffb being vaque rumble and the pedals being like floppy noodles, but i still did just fine. Upgrading to a DD with load cell brake only made me slower. Even after having quite a good amount of seat time with them, i'm still not back to the level i used to be with the trusty old DFGT

Easily done by anyone that knows what they're doing lol

I agree lol. I have a sim rig just as complicated and it took me like 4 hours to cable it and it was in a tight corner of my office where it was a royal pita to do.

Or they just wanted a way to justify charging for 15-20 hours worth of pay for 5 people… got to make up the 70k somehow

@@bitemyshite Who knows. However with 70,000 dollars you could have gotten really nice rig from Simworx, Vesaro or other similar companies who offer simulator packages for professional / commercial use. While overpriced as well, they look sleek, should be fairly easy to put together and I'm sure their customer service would be more than happy to help you to get everything running. You pay premium but you also get premium in return. When going 8020 route you can build a dream rig with around 25,000 - 35,000 dollars with active pedals, D-box, triples and whatnot.

I mean that whole setup is probably like 35k in parts, it most definitely isnt worth the extra cost, if someone offered me a 1000€ i would build that rig to the same standard, but its Joe Rogan tho so i dont think he's too concerned about a bit of extra costs

​@@theHaba99 Sure, but compare what that 70k can get you from Simworx, Vesaro etc. While you are still paying premium you get something that looks more unique and slick than your typical 8020 build. Building the ultimate 8020 sim rig with active pedals, Simucube base, Gen 5 D-BOX, BHD shifter, triples etc. costs somewhere around 25,000 - 35,000 dollars.

you're basically saying if I had more money than sense I wouldn't care about the price of things. You and everyone else I guess

the screens should be static, jimmy is wrong here. its near impossible to reinforce the integrated monitor stand to not shake from the motion. The horizon in real life does not move, when the motion is not exaggerated, the movements line up perfectly with the plane on the screen. He has prolly only ever tried motion rigs at expos that are set to insane levels

Amen. Its f'ed up that musicians get so little revenue from Spotify, yet they pay him so freaking much. Its supposed to primarily be a music platform... Just awful.

You're poor at math then

Nope, not possible.

Not with those monitors and a proper motion platform. Half the sticker price is profit for the builders but the other half cannot get much cheaper if you want to use the same hardware. Does it make sense to use real homologated seat? Not for me, but if the customer is wealthy enough, spending $5K may be worth the cost for him. You have to remember that many really rich people are looking for experiences, not best bang for buck.

Or, he'll get bored sucking at i-racing and use it mostly for playing American Truck Sim.

That's about the hours i would expect to wire up an actual car. For a sim rig? Yeah no.

Maybe they employ some handicapped people but charge full hourly rate?

Hopefully, it's someone else doing your finance...

Come on, be a bit more realistic here. The motion system alone is $9k. The seat is about 5K (Recaro podium carbon red, or whatever it's called) A water cooled PC with a 4090 is about $3.5K. The active brake pedal is $2.5K the H pattern shifter is $2K. The wheelbase with four different wheels is about5K. The monitors are 2.5K each. The flight sim parts and the heusinkverld pedals are 1.5K. Then you have the rig itself, the monitor stand, the sound system, The wires, the LEDs, The monitor mounts, peripherals, handbrake etc. That's legitimately about 40k in parts, but not more than that.

@RaIkKh self-employed and doing my own finances for 5 years now lol

there's nothing wrong in someone wanting to spend that much for sure but the point is that it sucks when companies rip people off charging them 70k for 20k maybe 30k worth of hardware, sure there must be a hefty shipping and labour fees but 40-50k worth? really? it might only be rich people getting ripped off by these guys but with the publicity of these things i can just see that more companies will think they can get away with the same thing and start affecting the working class and middle class sim racers who would be mad (rightfully) if they were ripped off by £100 let alone tens of thousands.

@@RWoody1995 it was 37k in parts alone. And I'd imagine they will provide ongoing support beyond just the build/install

You're absolutely right, but watching the footage, the in car cockpit doesn't really move in sync with the rig.

@@mementomori4972 mine does. Playing ams2 for example. I tweaked the setting of my motion platform and the in games setting. It's perfect now. You have subtle movements on the track and you're not off roading. So there is no need to be tossed around like a mad man 😄

This. To many plebs including Jimmy who even doesn’t have motion in first place. Also with those monitors it’s waaay too heavy to mount to the rig aswell.
