![]() ![]() One of my christmas gifts this year was the assembly and the materials for the rig. I then spoke to my father who is keen on building stuff and asked him to help me building one, he came up with a wooden one. I looked up prices of metal bars to assemble my own rig from metal bars like many people have done before, but this way was nearly as expensive as the Playseat ones. The pre-mounted and ready to assembly kits from Playseat were the first stop, but they were simply too expensive in my eyes. So I started to inform myself about rigs. I then noticed, that it is much easier to have a rig than having to find the right position on your desk. I started with a PS3 Controller, then went to the Steam Controller and afterwards I got my Logitech G29 at christmas last year, since then I've absolutely fallen for it. The DIY racing simulator cockpit plans may not be reproduced or distributed in any manner.I am into simracing for 1 and a half year now, which is rather short, but it feels like a hobby which I never found, but always needed. The completed or partially completed RS1 chassis is not permitted to be sold, resold, distributed, mass-produced, or used in any commercial fashion. The plans are copyrighted and licensed for personal use only. We do not offer downloadable files because printing them to scale is critical and pre-printing avoids errors. Despite the sleek styling of the RS1, the cutting pattern has been designed to be easy to follow with a basic jigsaw and circular saw. You simply cut out the paper template and stick it on the wood, then simply cut on the dotted lines. The templates arrive to you full size in an oversize envelope. This revision of the DIY racing simulator cockpit plans includes the ability to build the racing cockpit in multiple sizes to accommodate almost any size driver and a revised 39-page B/W instruction manual with additional detailed drawings of each step and even more photographs detailing the various steps in the process and full-size cutting templates for cutting out all the components. You can purchase one of our sim racing seats or you can get an OEM automotive seat from a salvage yard. You will have to provide your own seat for the RS1. No permanent damage is done by dismantling the pedals and they can always be reassembled if they are later to be removed from the RS1. Note: The Logitech pedals will have to be disassembled in order to mount the pedals inverted. The inverted position is preferred over the factory arrangement because it mimics real street cars. Also, the RS1 and RS500 are already set up to mount the Logitech and Thrustmaster T3PA-PRO pedals in an inverted arrangement. There is also a Thrustmaster-specific version to use with the T500/T300/T150/TX/TMX wheels called the RS500. ![]() The RS1 is designed to be used with the Logitech G25/G27/G29/G920 wheel, pedal, and shifter set. The RS1 has plenty of room underneath the platform to house surge suppressors, power supplies, even a tactile shaker (available here), and its amplifier. ![]() The latest revision now includes a template for adding a monitor support to the chassis which permits a TV or monitor to be mounted at eye level by using a wall mount bracket. The RS1 can be slid in front of a TV or the built-in monitor deck can support a monitor or flat-screen TV up to 40 inches. There is no climbing necessary as with other racing simulators. ![]() Also, the RS1 allows the driver to easily get in from the side like in a street car. The RS1 is a "2-post" design, meaning there are no supports between the driver's legs that can interfere with proper heel-toe driving. The RS1 is a simplified version of our original Cheetah series of racing simulators and is designed to be easy to build with common woodworking tools. The RS1 is a CAD-designed DIY sim racing cockpit built from wood, but with the quality and design features of commercial rigs. ![]()
