The Titan is a piece of cake to assemble and better than I expected, in part due to a much more appealing NEW pedal plate design (that isn't even shown in the product photos yet).
Cockpit featured is a GT Omega Titan
Monitor Mount is a GT Omega PRIME Single Monitor Mount that's been modified

Had my Titan for about 6 months now. It came with the new pedal tray design however I took it off drilled the base plate and mounted my pedals directly to it. I like my pedals closer to my seat and the height of the pedal tray meant my hands would brush against my knees when going through tight corners (I am 6ft tall). The wheel deck with a Simagic Alpha Mini at 10nm has never moved for me for anyone who is considering this rig. Overall a great rig for the price and super solid.

@mpa1931 9 месяцев назад

About to order this for my CSL GT DD and CSL elite pedals. Glad you demonstrated strong equipment on this, should be rock solid for my setup.

@danieldulberg2167 Год назад

Great review, also from the perspective of a titan owner. I was quite surprised about the issues you were having with the wheel plate. Mine is rock solid with a T818 mounted on top and 10nm of torque. I'm courious at which price GTO will be selling the new pedal plate, it looks very promising and mine is still on the old design

@dannyleeracing Год назад

Thanks man, appreciate your input with your T818, too. The new pedal plate doesn't appear to have any affect on the price, it's just a redesign and not an added extra - The wheel plate issue is more about the amount of leverage your setup gives you over the wheeldeck as well as the torque - the DD1 shown in the video is 20nm and will almost certainly have a much longer steering column than the T818, so those two factors combined mean my setup has a lot of 'leverage', so to speak. Completely fixed with the new bolts, though!

@darrylhe 24 дня назад

I have the titan and its great, i have the older pedal plate and have had no problems, im upgrading soon to a DD, probably the simagic so thanks for the bolt tip. I just wish they sild an extra shifter mount so could attach a hand brake on the opposite side to the shifter

@NicolayGiraldo Год назад

I have a Moza R9 with the Titan cockpit. What I did, to fix the initial movement, was much simpler than changing the nuts and bolts. I just fastened all four sets on each side, and it has been rock solid since. So, fasten the pivots too, it will be enough for the R9.

@ChrisDaytrader 11 месяцев назад

What do you mean by fastened ? just tighten them more ? thx

@xtreemkiller7769 11 месяцев назад

Hi Danny, great review, had mine since Christmas 2023. I absolutely love it. I have the Logitech G-Pro with Pro pedals. The wheel base has not move an inch since I set it up, maybe they added better bolts since your review. But like you said easy fix and the cockpit is well worth. Cheers!

@carter751106 Год назад

Hi Danny, nice review! I've had my Titan rig for a few years now, and has served me pretty well. The old style pedal tray that I have is definitely the weak point even though I'm only using Fanatec V3's. For anyone interested, I see GT Omega now do a pedal slider baseplate for the Titan, which uses the new design you showed here, plus a slider mechanism for £80. Looks like this could be the answer to pedal flex on my rig.

@steam-SMOKEY Год назад

I just purchased a prime cockpit, Gs wheel and pedals from GT omega. Brilliant company to deal with 👌

@ricepony33 Месяц назад

Own one, put wheels on it and remove the shifter... it slips right into a hallway closet for storage. I find the seating angle with the default seat to be flat, so I replaced it with a proper bucket, it DOESN'T feel like a sports car however, more like a hot hatch seating position.

@amraces 5 месяцев назад

I've experienced the issue with the wheel deck with Moza R9 + FSR wheel, but I really need to put excessive force on it which actually became a feature for me because I can adjust it without alan key lol, but I can see why for DD1 it would be way more problematic great suggestion to replace the bolts simple as going to the local hardware store. My only complain really is the squeaking of the seat I can't seem to fix the problem whenever I move the thing squeaks like it will fall apart... But overall and especially for the money I'd recommend this to everybody out there especially since you can even place any seat for example a bucket seat there without problems if that annoys you or someone else in the household..

@Greg-GT1 2 месяца назад

I love my Titan rig but since I bought the Logitech G pro base and rim the base plate isn't big enough so I can only secure the base at 2 points at the rear with nothing at the front...is there a bigger plate option ?

@dannyleeracing 11 месяцев назад

Yeah, It'd be more than enough for those!

@RichardSinanju 6 месяцев назад

Any reason why you can't put a wooden batten (or 2) under the pedal plate to help rigidity? Plenty of space and fixing points to bolt the wood. Paint the wood black if you're worried about the aesthetics. And for the problem with bolts in the wheel base moving in the slots, why not just stick another bolt in the space that the original bolt is trying to move into? Fairly quick and simple DIY considering all you'll need is a tape measure, saw, drill, drill bits and something to tighten nuts and bolts.

@dannyleeracing 6 месяцев назад

The titan's pedal plate is really good, so no real need to strengthen it. The wheel deck's movement trouble will only affect the higher end wheelbases with lots of leverage, and I reckon the cleanest/cheapest way to resolve that will be with alternative serrated flange bolts.

Hi Danny looking to buy one on ebay but its only the frame no seat . Cabn i just buy A GT Omega seat of would i need simulator monting plate ? cheers james

If the titan isn't missing any pieces then it should already have the holes needed to mount a GT omega seat, should be pretty straightforward!

Do you happen to still have this rig still? I’m wondering what the dimensions of the seat base is since it’s fixed in place. Thinking of ordering this, but I’m wondering how/if my seat will fit.

@dannyleeracing 7 месяцев назад

Check out the 'Dimensions' info on one of GT Omega's seats here: www.gtomega.co.uk/products/simulator-rs6-seat - it appears to say that the width is 35cm and the length is 28cm so I'd use that as your guide for the 'mounting footprint'

@@JayKBra ya just not handy with different people jumping on and off with adjustments. Omega titan is better in this sense.

@dannyleeracing Год назад

One thing that does appeal to me about the Trophy is that seat - having a mesh-backed racing seat is a plus for ventilation, and things get a bit toasty fighting a powerful wheel! Having a fan pointed at the back of a mesh seat is the best...

@tdmdchannel2339 6 месяцев назад

I'm also hesitant between the Playseat Trophy & the Titan. I prefer these look over an aluminum rig. The Trophy is beautiful to look at and always available to buy but the Titan is out of stock since November here where I live (Canada). Titan has better adjustment in my opinion. Even the wheel base has more adjustment over the Trophy. The Trophy's wheel base is bigger, looks more solid and study but only has 1 rotating point. I've seen other people using the DD1 with the original bolt and nuts on the Titan with no issue. Good to know there is an easy fix if it becomes a problem over time. I'm only on a CSL DD (8nm). They now sell a new pedal tray with a slider for the Titan. So you can move the pedal backward and forward just like the seat. Fast adjustment is a key feature for me since every member in my family like racing and my wife is only 5'1.

Hey Danny, would you recommend the upgrade to the Boost Kit for the CSL DD?

Hey Shadow! I would recommend it, yes - there's an unmistakable difference between 5 and 8 nm of force which enthusiasts will certainly appreciate. If you're happy with 5 then stick with it, but if you're a racing nut then everything extra you can get will be put to good use

@racdude01 9 месяцев назад

Would you recommend this over the ART? Is the extra price worth it or does it depend on how strong your wheel is

@dannyleeracing 9 месяцев назад

I'd say so, yes - the Titan is legitimately strong enough to use with pretty much all equipment you're likely to encounter, whereas the ART will start losing its composure with anything above 10nm and decent pedals. If you know you're on a journey into sim racing then the Titan will be a better long term choice for not a lot more

Would you recommend this for a tall guy like me. I am 200 cm (6,6 foot) Really thinking of buying this rig. Thanks

@dannyleeracing 8 месяцев назад

I think as you're exceptionally tall you might just hit the limit with the titan. It's an adult sized rig, but it does have its limits. Are you more torso-long or leg-long, would you say? Weird question but you'll definitely know what I mean by that!

@nielsm6961 8 месяцев назад

@dannyleeracing very clear. I would say both the same. I don't have the longest legs, i think. Also, not very heavy build. 95 to 100 kg. Pretty average build only taller. I'm also thinking of the playseat trophy. But i think it is smaller even though they claim it's built for up too 220cm wich is extremely tall. Thanks for reacting. 👍

@dannyleeracing 8 месяцев назад

I think it'll be wise for you to avoid the Trophy just because the adjustability could be worse than the Titan because of the fixed(ish) seat (I presume - I could be wrong!) GT Omega's seats all come with slider rails and the Titan pedal plate does have a pretty good range of back and forth movement. I've never tested a Trophy, though, so take my advice as merely an opinion@@nielsm6961
