GT Omega have confirmed ALL full size Prime addons and accessories do fit the Prime Lite! 😃

@troxeh. Жыл бұрын

Hey @KarlGosling, I'm considering one of these myself with the RS9 seat and your review has helped a lot. Does this include the Prime Integrated Monitor mount? The photos on the site show it installed using 3 bolts into 120mm profile (using 3 channels). With the Lite only having 80mm (2 channels) are you still able to make a secure connection, it looks like it might be on the big side? If you don't have one to hand no worries i may fire off an email to GT Omega. Cheers for the content, excellent channel.

@Steve93K Жыл бұрын

Honestly, i have a friend who did a layout that is extremely similar to this, except the pedal deck is different. It works perfectly with my DD setup. To my sim buddies who are considering whether they should upgrade to a aluminium cockpit? just do it! You wont regret it. Zero flex really enhances the sim racing experience. To be able to fully step on your load cell pedals with no worries, the steering doesnt move around, everything is perfect. And the modularity of these cockpit meant you can get creative and add your own touches to it.

@gulererd Жыл бұрын

Karl, thank you for the detailed information. It's exactly what a potential buyer needs. I've pre-ordered one based on your review. It was between the Prime Lite and the Titan. Prime Lite prices in the US are quite a bit higher than the Titan ($560 vs $390). After watching this video, I went with the Prime Lite for its rigidity and customization potential. And thanks for the discount code, every penny helps...

@Leynad778 Жыл бұрын

The rigidity proves my theory that the connections does more of a the difference than the size of the profiles if it's 80x40 mm already. I've also reinforced my rig with some cheap steel-brackets with decent results. Those brackets can also be used to fix additional profiles to the rig in case 80/40 isn't enough and I did it with my former 40/40 base, but the downside is weight. I can't move it alone anymore.

@KarlGosling Жыл бұрын

Totaly agree, the connections definitely make a huge difference Leynad!

Excellent review Karl really appreciate your time, knowledge and dedication especially as I’m in the early days of returning to casual sim racing. it’s certainly been an eye opener with how things have moved on in the last 25+ years or so. I’ve been watching way too many videos just lately trying to see what’s the best route for me to go but your channel has been a massive help 👍🏻 I think the GT Omega Prime Lite is now the foundations of which route I’ll go but it will take me sometime to save up and although it’s been tempting it has quashed any ideas of me going really cheap eg the many used wobble wobble route offerings and then having to sell and upgrade seems a tad foolhardy. Keep up the good work buddy you have gained another subscriber 😎

Looks decent, I’ll still be getting the Prime though I think for a couple reasons. I want the upgraded pedal tray for my single pedals and I also want the front mount wheel plate. Other than that, I think this rig is fine for most situations. I actually think full sized profile rigs are overkill these days. Profile itself is pretty rigid, it’s just the wheel/pedal trays really.

With those little covers near the pedal base, just use a drop of CA glue on either/both sides where the plastic touches the metal (scrape up the metal and plastic just a bit with some 0000 grit steel wool so it has somewhere to grab onto) and well, bob's your uncle...

@conorturton Жыл бұрын

Karl... Mine arrived yesterday, just built it today. I got it with the RS12 carbon seat. Installing the seat was a proper ballache and I had to take the runners off to be able to bolt it to the rig because due to the size of the seat base the runners won't stick out from it so you can get a bolt in to bolt it to the rig. The other problem I found is that there isn't enough gap between the underside of the seat and the handle for the runners to release them so they move and ended up having to add additional spacers to raise the seat a little more above the runners so the handle operated. I'm going to be contacting GT Omega and get them to look at the seat and the gap between the runner release handle and the seat base because there isn't sufficient. Took me 8hrs to put together but it's my first one. Plenty of spares though.

@KarlGosling Жыл бұрын

I had the same ball ache with the seat bolts (managed to get an allen key in there though so didn't take them off) but no issues with the handle at all, yours isn't fitted upside down is it?

@conorturton Жыл бұрын

@@KarlGosling No, thought that myself. Maybe it's just not been bent as much as it should have been. Only needed to space it a few mm so a couple of thick washers on each corner did the job. Minor issue in the grand scheme of things. My other hobby is amateur radio and you usually end up having to re-engineer half the stuff you get if it's anything to do with aerials and masts so kind of used to it. Did the same as you and skipped putting the seat on in step 4 as I looked at the rest of it and decided it'd be easier being able to put it on its side for some of it. Some of it though is probably lack of experience building cockpits, this being my first and previous being just a wheelstand. I did learn very quickly not to tighten anything right up until you've got everything in place.

I'm having the exact same problem now, trying to get the seat attached to the base,the runners don't come out far enough at the front,i thought the seat was broke,have emailed gt omega and they want pics and a video of the problem. So its a design fault more than a broken seat then ?

I’m in the same boat. Currently running the Titan with a DD2 and after reinforcing the wheel deck, it feels great and I don’t even feel flexing in ACC with my DD2 set to the Fanatec recommendations. Ironically, the most flexing I feel is with the Fanatec wheel hub and a bit of flex at the pedal tray with my Heusinkveld Sprints set to 45kg. But all in all, when I’m racing, I don’t notice it unless I’m consciously thinking of it. Once I decide to sell the Titan, if I don’t go this route, it’ll be another aluminum extrusion frame setup.

Buddy from NL had to pay the EU-tax when he ordered his Prime which put it (price wise) into a very different price range. But, I also see others on Reddit saying that they get their rigs without having to fork out the lovely taxman.

Just discovered your channel last night when I couldn't sleep ( I have a chronic back disorder) and have subscribed. Have ordered the Prime Lite based upon your review, it's on pre order as Omega are awaiting stock. Will probably be looking for a DD wheel in the next few months once the bank balance has recovered and was wondering which you would recommend on a budget, meaning not the high end ones. Am currently using the T248 which I wouldn't have got had I seen your review (I've had it 15 months) and I have a set of DC2 pedals arriving in the next few days. Thanks for any advice you may have. Enjoy your honesty and humour. Do you stream gaming at all?

Great video! Do you know what the best cockpit is for the dof ms2 or mp2 seatmover system is? & do you think the dof mp2 or ms2 movement is good enough when using with VR? Or would a dof H3 system be leaps n bounds better because of the yaw movement and full motion? Thanks!

Any aly profile cockpit you can make fit either. H3 is much better but it has a lot of flex.

Hi Karl , love your vids keep up the great work ! You made me buy a prime lite rig! One question I am having issues attaching the csl pedals to the tray ? Did u have issue at all or am I being stupid ? Whatever position I put my pedals in the holes just won’t line up ?

I feel like I might upgrade to this from the Titan cockpit. The Titan cockpit is great, looks good, easy to move. But it does have substantial flex, especially in the pedal plate. It was okay with CSL Elite LC pedals but with Asetek Forte's it bends quite a lot. Also you ofcourse need to use another monitor stand, which is really clumsy in my case. Also the wheel plate is also quite bendy, and I'm only using a CSL Elite base. Ofcourse there's always the question of "do i spend another 200 to go to the max or not" :P

@KarlGosling Жыл бұрын

I think this is a good upgrade, more solid and way more customizable with accessories. I never used the pedal "tray" on my Titan as it sits too high IMO, but the wheel deck was always solid enough. Well that is a good question?! lol

Thank you Karl for this review It looks this Prime Lite is the upgrade path for me from my ART. I would be really interested to know if the upgraded pedal plate fits this rig as my Invicta pedals are vertical so mounting them on this plate would put them at an awkward angle. Thank you

@derekrozmes5794 Жыл бұрын

Curious if this worked for you; since the Prime Lite has a crossbar at the front, does the upgraded pedal tray lay flat without pulling it way too close to your seat? Or did it replace the crossbar? The regular Prime cockpit doesn't have that extra piece at the front to get in the way.

I was using a Asetek Forte wheel base but yes you can bolt direct. If you slacken the bolts there is a small amount of angle adjustment (it's really just the "play" or clearance of the bolt holes and profile channels) so not something I would have chosen to advertise as a feature... I didn't realise they had.

Great video karl. Only just recently got serious about racing recently. Had a thrustmaster tx setup with gearstick from years ago that came out occasionally. Recently bought gt7 for my ps5 and needed a wheel. After going over your vids I decided that rather than buy a seperate budget ps5 setup Like logitech I would bite the bullet and go with fanatec. Tracked down a gran turismo dd setup that came with the next level gt lite seat. Got me up and running but Ideally wanted a proper rig. Though most looked to big imo. Must be timing but spammed this vid straight away. This is IDEAL for what I need. One question, and it might seem a little odd. Any ideas on how much the frame weighs? Obviously without the seat or wheel etc. Was there a weight on the box? Is it easy enough to move about with everything bolted to it?

@KarlGosling Жыл бұрын

Sounds great mate! I can move it easily yes, I'm actually fitting castor wheels to the rear upright so I can pick it up and wheel it out the room when not in use. I've thrown the packaging away but I'd guess 40kg maybe?!

Hi Karl, thank you very much for this review, I was waiting for it. Do you think it is a great upgrade from the Titan cockpit which I own? I was willing to buy a VRS DFP Pedals, but I know that my rig has some issues with flex.

In many ways this is a good upgrade, specially as you can sell the Titan on to get some money back... but it's up to you of course! :) Make sure you use a solid pedal base with those pedals though, rather than bolting down individually.
