Make Your Aluminium Profile Simracing Rig Better!

Aluminium profile has been the material of choice for many people's simracing rigs for many years. I've been using mine for 2 years and it has undergone several reconfigurations to suit my evolving needs - in this video I document some of my personal touches that I found interesting, useful or otherwise unique.
I also enjoy a bit of cinematic flare so I tried to make the video as visually interesting as possible.
My partner asked not to be shown hence the pixellation in some scenes, which was a fun effect to implement.

@@DrAlanQuan I log 400 to 600 miles every day at various tracks. My legs are too strong for the tubing. Ive literally worn the interconnect tubes out, and even fully tightened, it starts wobbling after just a day of side loading on the pedal pedestal. I am a former machinist so this is pretty easy to remedy and I already have tons of 1x1 and t locks and screws, so ordering up the necessary 1x3 and getting a better frame built makes lots of sense. Ive got a nice shop so will put it to work! Thanks again for the info, my daily driver is a 16’ M6 with a tune to 738 hp, so will try to find a used M series seat once my frame is built.

@jonboy2950 Год назад
You have the right idea, 80/20 is designed exactly for this. To be able to customise your rig in exactly the way that it suits you. You could probably add a bit of a finishing touch by adding some end caps to parts of your profile. It will improve the look as well as provide protection against sharp edges for you and family.
@DrAlanQuan
@DrAlanQuan Год назад
Yes, those end caps are priceless! The trouble with going off-plan with a rig is the included end caps may not match the number of exposed ends on your finished rig. I've also got two slightly different specs of aluminium profile (silver vs black) and the end caps are not interchangeable between the two! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

great video. I too started with a prebuild kit. (simlab gt1 evo) But inmediately built it differently to suit my needs. I even used the same seat from my playseat rig exactly the way you did. Over the years i've added my own additions using custom cut extrusion profiles and hardware store bits and bobs to tailor the rig to my own needs. I will probably never again buy a prebuilt rig or any complete setup for that matter. Oh and im still using the playseat seat :D

Regarding the inclined pedals, you can use the extensions from the D-shaped pedal faces also with the standard faces. As this gives you the option to angle the faces way more upringt you can keep the pedals and heel plate more flat, almost horizontal.

If you check out my newest video which is about 12 hours old I actually have replaced a lot of the MDF with PETG so you're definitely on the right track!

The best thing is the hardware store brackets come in a great variety of shapes. The ones supporting the front of my seat are 220mm high which is something you'd never get from a simracing vendor. So for me the advantage is not just cost, but variety. Can't argue with $2 per 40x40mm angle bracket though!

Thank you Chich! The sim rig sand the monitor stand themselves were assembled completely with hand tools - a hex key did 90% of the work, and it was handy to use a spirit level and a tape measure too. The custom additions made from wood did need more tools - a pencil and compass, a power drill, a jigsaw and some sandpaper.

Get rid of most bracketry a use auctomatic/universal no-drill connectors which don;t require machining, they self thread into the t-slot and form a much stronger connection by pulling all the faces of the profile together, it is as strong, if not stronger (s it doesn't remove material) than machined connectors. They are not cheap - but they are just as cheap as most bracketry and 10x better.

@DrAlanQuan
@DrAlanQuan Год назад
Hi there, I raced like this for over a year including some endurance events with zero issues. When I filmed this video I was surprised at how awkward it looked, and editing the video while seated this way was very uncomfortable (I needed a cushion under my neck). Since I've been producing more videos, I actually changed my seat to something with better neck support and will be putting up a video about that soon. But for me, that awkward looking seating position was absolutely fine for racing!

Ah yes, my head is well below the midpoint of the monitors - in iRacing you can adjust the horizon level without influencing incline of the viewing position, so my horizon is set dead level with my eyes - which is why there is so much sky in the image. If the horizon was locked to the middle of the screen I would need to look up the whole time and that would be awful.

Thanks for the comment! You're right, the seat isn't designed for it, and I was surprised at how my head position looked when I filmed and started editing - but I've had it this way for over a year, done several enduro races with it and it has not been a problem at all. I do need a cushion when I'm using the rig to edit video though.

Hi Design, thanks for commenting 3 times on this video. I appreciate the time you've put into watching my video and leaving comments. I don't have any problem with being wrong, since my setup is working fine for me - and I'm not telling anybody how to do anything. I hope you subscribe so you can see what's coming in the next few videos, I promise it's worth watching and discussing!

Hahaha it does look wrong doesn't it? So many people have called me out on it. I was surprised how awkward it looks on camera, because I race just fine in the rig. I've actually changed my seat since, you'll be glad to hear!

Should've just bought a real Rig, this looks terrible no offense but all this extra work and it still doesn't look nice and that seating position is hilarious shaking all around. I have no clue why your head is pointed up like that. Also, you should try not wearing any shoes while sim racing especially dress shoes I wonder why your feet are slipping, socks are all you need. Buy once cry once.

Hey man no offence taken, I've actually changed a lot on my rig since this video. I think it served its purpose - it was reusing a seat that I already had, and I got an extra few years of fun out of it for just a few dollars. This is not the only way to do things, but it's the way I did it which is why I'm talking about it. And tweaking the rig is half the fun! Anyways regarding real rigs, stick around and see what I release in a few weeks 🔥
