Parts

Every part we use in a rig, with a rating, a typical US price and what it works with. Compatibility comes from the same checks the 3D configurator runs, so a wheel listed under a base really fits it.

  1. Wheel bases

    The base is the motor behind the wheel. It sets how strong and detailed the force feedback feels and which consoles you can race on.

  2. Wheels

    The rim is the part you hold. On most bases it comes off through a quick release, and it only fits bases that use the same quick release.

  3. Pedals

    Pedals are where a lot of lap time hides. A load-cell brake reads how hard you press, not how far, which is easier to repeat corner after corner.

  4. Cockpits

    The frame holds the wheel, pedals and seat still. Each one is rated for a maximum wheel base torque; above that it flexes.

  5. Seats

    Several cockpits ship without a seat. These are the seats we track for them, from reclining buckets to fixed racing shells.

    Typical price
    $379–$449
  6. Screens

    A monitor, an ultrawide, a TV or a VR headset. Consoles drive one screen; triple screens and most VR headsets need a PC.

    Typical price
    $129–$1,899
  7. Screen mounts

    Stands that put the screen at eye level and close to the wheel, either freestanding or bolted to the cockpit.

    Typical price

  8. Consoles and PCs

    Where your games run decides which wheels work. PS5 and Xbox each support a short list of licensed wheel bases.

  9. Shifters

    H-pattern and sequential shifters for cars with a manual gearbox. Optional for a first rig; most games shift with paddles.

  10. Handbrakes

    For rally and drifting. Optional, and several connect by USB only, so they need a PC.
