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.

    87 Simucube 3 Pro (25 Nm)
  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.

    88 Heusinkveld Ultimate+ (3-pedal)
  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.

  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.
