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

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.

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.

If your handy with tools and making things , google Diy sim rigs (pictures) you'll find heaps of inspiration , as for measurements that's trial and error ...Just doing things in pairs helps...and plenty of timber 👍
Awesome job! Thanks also particularly for the list of materials and plans … it made it possible for me to build my own EM rig as well. Liked and subscribed.
Great video. Literally watched this 2 hours ago and built one already. Thanks!!
Thanks to you my brother I'm ganna wake up and safe my self £400 omega rig and go get some wood and build it just like you it's looks amazing and simple good work lad 👏
I finished it late last night, built it in my garage so I had to carry it to the main floor and then back down to the basement. It was such a pain, but building it was so awesome! Thanks again!

thanks for the video, and going the extra mile, and supplying a pdf download as that's super helpful. I've had a hyperdrive then a playseat, but have not sim raced for about 5 years, going to use your build as a starting point to get back into it. Cheers from the southeast coast of Australia!
Got mine together over the course of a few days. Had to tinker with the pedal-position for comfort. Awesome way to race!

As for the seat.. go to a car junkyard and buy a seat & the rails it is mounted on. If you do, then use the bottom beams at 1.5 the given length to allow sliding your seat.

Just found a leather racing car in a junkyard for 30$ almost brand new, will surely make something like this
I may be a bit late, but I'm so building this asap!
i may have to do this.
nice corvette :)
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.
awsome rig man! great job! today unfortunately with the cost of wood in canada would be like 500 bucks lol
Gonna see what I can do to make it vr ready

Thanks for the video. I have one of those car chair computer chairs and I am going to be basing a similar rig on yours I am only slightly altering the design and shortening it and raising the steering wheel to use with any chair I want. How did you secure the pedal to it?
@RealExpiredMilk
6 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!
Found some wood in my back yard now I know what to do w it
Thanks for the video and blue print info EM. I joined your discord. Saw you had added a tv mount to your rig. I didn't notice if you posted anything showing the measurements on it or not. Was wondering if you added it separate to your rig, or if it is mounted onto your rig? I have a tv I would like to add onto being part of this rig so was just interested. Thank you again.

sorry for the delayed response. I added it on later with a couple 2x4 and some L-brackets at the base for stability. threw on a tv mount and bam. its about a 24in tv I think. I wouldn't go much bigger than that though. I don't remember the exact dimensions but I want to say theyre about 3ft tall

Just got outta the garage from building this thing, nice plans. I didn't do the shifter portion or the diagonal supports but it's still very sturdy. I ripped the passenger seat out of my Honda for the chair cuz racecar. Had to cut some additional pieces to accommodate, but now I have a fully adjustable seat. Total cost for the build? *$0.*

They are just pressed up against the plank. Makes for easy adjustments if someone shorter wants to use it I also have a small rug placed underneath the rig now so the bottom of the pedals grip it so it doesn’t move around at all
