  • Building my DIY budget Sim Racing Rig. In this video I use wood to create a fully functional budget friendly sim racing cockpit. You can get all the supplies from you local hardware store for less than $35! ADDITIONAL BUILD INFORMATION BELOW!!
    DIY Blueprint (Download):
    drive.google.com/file/d/1o1fY...
    Uprights are cut at a 25 degree angle on top.
    On the top 1x8, the 2x2's run across the width to give support.
    The 2x2 on the shifter arm is cut at a 45 degree angle on both sides and provides support to the bottom of the arm.
    A 2x6 was used underneath the chair for support however depending on what chair you're using your mount may be different. For example for a real car seat you may be able to mount the rails directly on the base.
    ▶Most commonly asked question is where to get the chair. I strongly suggest looking at your local Goodwill or thrift store. However, here is a similar chair to mine you can get on Amazon.

    Next time if you want to have an easier time making it square and make it a little stronger. Have the front and back horizontal boards sit sideways in between the length of the two long boards. Then put a 90° triangle piece in every corner and then screw it tight. The force of the drill we'll pull the sides into the middle piece you create and make a perfect square and it will add a lot more strength.

    • @RealExpiredMilk
      @RealExpiredMilk  6 месяцев назад

      That's awesome, I hope it comes out well! The pedals on mine werent affixed to the rig, what I ended up doing was just putting a small piece of wood at the back of the base for it to rest on to give it an incline. It was a slight bit shorter than the 2x4 of the base so it rested against the back and never moved. I hope this makes sense!

    Awesome video!! I think I’m gonna make it but I just wanted to ask how did u mount the pedals or are they just pressed against the plank

      They are just pressed up against the plank. Makes for easy adjustments if someone shorter wants to use it
      I also have a small rug placed underneath the rig now so the bottom of the pedals grip it so it doesn’t move around at all

    A gorgeous thing! I really want to see her in action with a real steering wheel, and not with a logitech on gears.

    awesome build..
    Is it hard to get into??
    I was thinking of making the "driver's side" a little different for easy access..
    Thanks...

      It’s not that bad if you’re getting in from the left side. The right sides a little hard to get into though
