I am very impressed. I also have the same Playseat Challenge connected to a simucube and a high end load cell pedal with a homemade mod, but the mechanism you have created looks much smarter and more scalable. Excellent.
I think the Logitech edition is still the better seat to have due to all the small improvements ovewr the original. Also, I am working on a version of the Lock-Mod specifically for the Playseat Challenge X, but recently had to focus on some revisions for the original kit. Currently I think it should be finished before the year is out, but we'll see.
Haven't been able to soley focus on the designing the X version recently, but it is progressing. The pedal tray section required a complete redesign due to differences between the OG and the X, but it's actually quicker to fold and more rigid than the previous design. Next month I should have more time to dedicate to finishing the other parts of the design.
Wow. The ingenuity of people creating mods for the PS challenge is really something and this is one of the best. Whilst I don't need this yet, it's definitely one I'll bear in mind for the future.
@@hanslyth7844 Well, depends what you want. Lots of people post their showcases on reddit in r/simracing. You can also find a few mods for the Playseat on 3d printing model sharing sites like Printables. There's also a few people on Ebay and other sites selling kits of their own.
@@psyskip6709 Well, I'll ask you this way. First of all, thank you very much for answering me and congratulating you for a spectacular job with the playseat Challenge. I have the Fanatec CSL DD base, the CSL pedals with load cell and the Fanatec shifter. Have you been able to test if it works for my setup? Especially the shifter because it is very long. On the other hand, I am from Spain, are customs costs included in the transport prices you offer? I am going to choose the shipping method that allows tracking and that takes 2 or 3 weeks to arrive in Spain. I also want to ask you about the durability of 3D printed parts. Will they last for many years with proper use? Thank you again.
Thanks for the kind words! Firstly, customs/import duties aren't covered on my end, simply because it's quite complicated to set up from the sellers end (at least for a one person operation like myself). There's a chance it may make it through customs without a charge, but if not then you'll be contacted via the details you provide at checkout to request payment. As for the durability of the kit, I have designed the parts with heavy usage in mind. As long as it is assembled correctly I am quite confident in the kit's longevity. The kit does also have a 2 year warranty for defects, so if a part doesn't work or breaks within the limits I mention in this video and the assembly video, then I'll remake/redesign the affected piece and send it to you. And finally for your fanatec gear. The CSL wheelbase will natively fit on the Playseat Challenge wheel plate, so no problem there. The Fanatec shifter won't be a problem, as the side mount option can be assembled to accomodate all reasonably sized gear. To mount the Fanatec shifter to the aluminium profile, I'd recommend using the included 90 degree connectors and bolts to attach with the side mount T-nuts in your fanatec shifter. The CSL pedals can be mounted with the origina Playseat Challenge velco strap, and I've also seen people use zip ties which do surprisingly well. But if you want a more sturdy hard mount solution then the pedal mount I sell will soon be compatible with fanatec/thrustmaster pedals. I just need to add a part that allows bolts to be screwed in from the bottom. That should be ready in the next week. I'd also recommend skimming through the assembly video for a more in depth overview of the kit. Cheers~
@@borjavmeydey Got bogged down with adding some other revisions to the kit, but I finally got around to adding the pedal tray options to the website. All hardware needed to mount CSL pedals and many others is now an optional inclusion.
Hello Kieran! Found out about your website through Karl Gosling’s video. Is it possible to buy the digital files for the psc lock mod and print+assemble it myself? I really don’t mind paying you for the amazing work you’ve done, but the over 100 euros shipping to Europe is what puts it over the edge for my budget
Hey! I definitely understand you position, but releasing the files for purchase or otherwise isn’t in the cards for now, for a few reasons. However, if you’re okay with sea shipping (2-3 months and no tracking) then that should come in at about 65eur. It got disabled while I was debugging, but it’s re-enabled now. Hopefully in the future I can get some better deals with a different shipping company, but for now this is all I can do.
