inside sim racing

I did a review on the original Clixbeetle Pro a while ago. It was an overall favorable review as the pro did what it was to do. Now we have the GT version. It’s easy to see the improvements that have made over the Pro. We now have stainless steel plates embedded in this PLA+ […]

Final thoughts on the TrueBrake Logitech brake pedal mod kit from the guys at AXCSIM. This kit takes a different approach than others I have tested. Using a sensitive linear potentiometer to deliver the same result you would see from other pressure based systems currently used in sim racing brake pedals. The materials and production methods […]

Final thoughts on Next Revel Racing’s Wheel Stand DD. When most people think of wheel stands the last thing that comes to mind is mounting a high torque DD wheel to it. But this is exactly what they want you to do. This unit is made from 3mm thick steel tubing and plates. As far […]

Final thoughts on the PT Actuator 5DOF motion system. This is the last of a 3 part video review series for this PT Actuator build. I have already published the first two. Called “Part 1 the build”, and “Part 2 wiring and cabling”. This does reflect the complexity of this 5DOF system. But I believe anyone […]

Final thoughts on the F1 2020 wheel from the guys a Fanatec. This wheel is officially licensed for the new F1 2020 Codemasters game. I like that instead of just making an F1 V2 wheel with some different colors. Fanatec actually made some noticeable changes here. First we have real perforated leather grips. I like […]

Final thoughts on the DirectForce Pro FFB wheel system from the guys at Virtual Racing School. VRS has been developing this system for well over a year. They were not in rush to bring it to market and I think it shows in the final consumer product. Out of the box it has the look of […]

Final thoughts on getting the electronics, wiring, cabling, and basic system parameters setup for the PT Actuator 5DOF motion system. This is part two of a three part review I am doing on this system. In the part one video I did the motion system build. The PT actuator 5DOF system uses the AASD-15A servo […]

Final thoughts on building the PT Actuator 5DOF motion platform. As you can see from the length of this video it is an involved process to build one of these kits. I would sum it up as a complex but not difficult build. There are a lot of things you need to get done. But […]

As some of you may know, I have been using a Generation 2 D-BOX 4400i motion system for almost 2 years now as my go to Sim Racing motion system. I was looking forward to testing the Gen3 system once it was announced. Now that I have spent some quality time with new GEN3 4250i […]

Final thoughts on the MECA Cup 1Sim racing pedals made in the Czech Republic by the guys at All4Sim. Here we have an all stainless steel constructed pedal set that out of the box feels like a premium kit. In hand they give the impression that there will be no flex felt when you have […]
