Nice vid Karl. The seat isn't included in the price of £270, if you add the XL RS seat the price is £479.95 not including any discounts. I bought the classic racing stand and turned it into a racing cockpit with the rearframe accessory and a XL RS seat, works a treat for someone like me who isn't really a sim enthusiast just a casual gamer that enjoys driving occasionally.

Hey Karl, wanted to thank you for this excellent review. Helped me make the purchase decision and I am extremely pleased with it. It went well with the GT DD pro 8Nm and load cell pedal. Another thing worth mentioning is GT Omega's amazing after sales support. I had an issue with the shifter bracket mounting (was mounting at an angle, not 90 deg), they went out of their way to sort it out . Tested working parts at their facility in Scotland and shipped it all the way to Aus.

Cracking review, I bought one of these in December as my TSXW was a nightmare bolted to my cheap desk, been really impressed with it, takes me stamping on the brake of the T-LCMs without any problems, I've been meaning to record a vid to review it as there weren't any when I looked but still struggling for parts to build a new PC to do anything productive. But yeah, 3 months use, no issues at all, they don't offer a handbrake mount for it which is annoying, but if you buy the apex mount it does fit in place of the shifter upright, not as good on adjustment, but it gets you through. Anyone tempted by this will be pleased, like Karl says, for the money, it's brilliant.

RU-vid needed a comprehensive review of this rig. I've had mine for a couple of months and I love it. Zero complaints and I have my VRS DFP DD wheel mounted to it and works great (I did have to assemble the mounting feet in and drill 4 holes into the Titan base plate to get it on). Great review and keep up the good work!
@MrTurtletraxx
@MrTurtletraxx 3 года назад
@Gabe Chapman: I have the VRS also. How is the flex? Also, I have Heusinkveld Sprints. How is the pedal tray flex? I've heard that they have improved the design.
@GabeChapman
@GabeChapman 3 года назад
@@MrTurtletraxx Like I said, I had to drill 4 holes and turn the sides of the VRS mount inward to fit on the wheel mounting plate, so the feet turn in and not out. That took some foresight and a bit of patience. The mounting of the Sprints didn’t need modification, but again took some foresight and patience. Not bad as long as you know where it needs to go and where you want everything, aiming to do everything once. As for flex on the foot plate, there is some. I can’t give an amount, but it’s there when really mashing the pedals. Does it bother me and hinder my performance, I don’t think so. The flex on the wheel is almost non existent, and flexes in a direction that should really be apparent when operating the wheel. We really have to consider the price, and if this is the max on your available budget, then we can forgive the amount of flex it allows and there is no better option. If you can spend more than twice as much and get a cockpit made of aluminum profile like the TR80, then that’ll afford zero flex.
@MrTurtletraxx
@MrTurtletraxx 3 года назад
@@GabeChapman Yes, I had to turn the mounting hardware inward on the NRL GTUltimate V2 cockpit, also. I added an additional 1/8" aluminum plate for a little beefiness. I can counter any pedal flex with a wood block. I am very hard on the brakes. Love my VRS.

What you do not see with the 2 halves joining...is the super strong plug piece that goes into each tube section. Then the bolts that go through the tubing have a strong metal washer plate on the outside. So it is a super strong junction! Absolutely no worry with strength here.

Thank you, Karl! I think I've watched all of your cockpit reviews now, even though you talked me into this TITAN very early on. I'm currently waiting with as much patience as I can muster for it to arrive here in Vermont. The seat seems to be here, but the cockpit itself is stuck in the UK for an "operational delay." Painful! I've been using a wheelstand I made with warped 2x4s I found in my garage for a couple of years and that thing is all wobble. I've got some slippers under one corner like a bad table at a cafe pedals loose on the floor. I'm using an old leather armchair that is both too high and super sweaty. Driving that now seems so distasteful, but waiting for a whole extra week for delivery before racing again seems just as bad. I guess I'll just keep watching all your videos to keep myself distracted. Thanks again! Definitely subscribed!

Excellent review. I've had this rig for a few months now, and for the price I'm really happy with it. Perfect for my mid-range Fanatec gear, but not sure it would hold up with a direct-drive wheel. I also thought the pedal tray was to high, so purchased some matte black 20/60 aluminium profile to raise the seat up, and is now a more comfortable GT style seating position.

I do think the pedal tray flexes a little but i have made a modification of adding a couple of angle brackets (£10) to support at the front which has helped. I dont recall having an issue with the m8 holes and m6 bolts. I use elite pedals with LC and 85 rubber springs - set on 70 brf. I do plan to get clubsport v3 pedals and attach the directly to the base. You could also fit a different pedal base plate (Heusinkveld) if you wanted. You can also get 6 m8 locking casters from amazon instead of the standard feet which makes it easy to move.

Hey. Could you describe exactly what you have done with the angled brackets? Really interested
@psimmoaz
@psimmoaz 3 года назад
@@raptorrooney I have two right angle steel brackets, on each side e.g. shelf supports. I drilled a hole in each side of the pedal base and also in the pedal floor and bolted them on. It supports each side of the pedal plate near the front and prevents pretty much all the flex. difficult to explain without a pic. As Karl said if you dont use the pedal base you will also get minimal flex. I plan change to pedals with angle adjustment so wont need the pedal plate.

I prefer the ART. The thicker the frame the more steel you have to step over when you get inside. The wheel deck is longer so you can put speakers on each side of the wheel. It is plenty strong, especially if you add stabilizer bars.

This highlights just how bad the playseat is even though it's an option to get in to wheels and seats. Save the pennies and go straight for this rig! After a couple of laps I'm starting to get the feel and movements down and much smoother car control.

I have the GT Omega classic with RS9 seat upgrade. Seriously looking to replace it with this now because of the flex in the drive base and handbrake mount. It does take away a little more of the experience flexing the way it does in Dirt Rally 2. This video helps me ton by demonstrating the anti flex features!
@MatthewFura
@MatthewFura 2 года назад
Karl, thanks for the review mate. I picked up a Titan and got it together with my NRG Prisma seat. (Used your code as well!) Love it so far. Super solid like you stated. One issue I have, though, with the wheel deck. I have all the bolts torqued down as hard as they'll go, but, if I start pulling on the wheel hard, it will actually move up and down. Any way to stop this from happening that you're aware of?
@KarlGosling

Not that I know of mate no, there is some up/down flex but if you're running sensible torque it shouldn't really be an issue in normal use IME.

@tgpips1128
@tgpips1128 3 года назад
I was an owner to the GT Omega Pro cockpit and RS9 seat, which was great for a G29/920 or T300 etc. But there was flex at the joints, where you could pull the wheel towards you a tiny bit. These cockpits are great for the above wheels as mentioned, but as soon as you step up to a Fanatec Clubsport V2.5 or something with the equivalent nm torque or higher, then an Aluminium Extrusion Profile cockpit is what you need, as the vibrations rattle through the rig. (I can't comment on this Titan rig, but it would be interesting to know if that is the case with the likes of the TS-PC used here?) You can get the framework tool to create your own profile, search "MadCad-64" I was able to build my own cockpit for £300~ which included mounting the PC behind the monitors, and support for triple monitors mounting. (Just bare in mind that does not include a seat). Cheapest place for Aluminium Extrusion was from Motedis.co.uk One thing I am disappointed in, is being British like myself, I did not see you stop for a cuppa tea! 😂 - Otherwise, it was a nice review. 👍
@KarlGosling
@KarlGosling 3 года назад
This would have no issues running a DD wheel, it's a massive step up from their lesser rigs. Vibrations from the wheel base should be felt through a solid rig, it's the cheaper flexy ones that dampen vibrations... when setting up tactiles for example you get much better results with a solid rig and don't have to work them so hard.... rattles of course we don't want! lol I actually don't drink tea! :0 lol
@tgpips1128
@tgpips1128 3 года назад
@@KarlGosling That's good to know they have improved the overall cockpit design to even handle a DD wheel. Also, as you pointed out, the cockpit does look less industrial looking sat in a home compared to an Aluminium Extrusion rig. So the Titan sounds like a good cheaper alternative. I have to say, the RS9 seat I had for over 3yrs, still looked brand new even though it was used daily before I sold it on. So their seats are very strong, high quality and long lasting! As for not drinking Tea, understandable, as back when I was taking training seriously before the kids came along and took over my routine, I eat and drank clean. 👍

I’m interested to titan cause a playseat trophy seems to me to f1 position and I have some back healt issue) Or can I remove pedal plate and install fanatec pedals directly to base? 2. Is there fanatec discount ?
