    I use the same stand. Dd pro 8Nm keeps a cup of coffee on the gear stick tray without spilling it or vibrating it off. Would recommend

      @jeffreybankers3988 it came with a few bolts of different lengths. But I think I had to use the nut provided with the DDpro wheel base as they slide into a recess. It is a great stand. 💯

      Thanks for telling me that, i was worried if my 5,5nm dd Moza R5 would shake it too much

    I started with the stand and eventually built up the rear seat frame and the XL seat.

      are you happy with the purchase? does it flex or is it rigid?

      @MrCamel254 Happy with the purchase. Full rig now that I have the rear seat frame.

    The best thing about this stand is it’s rigidity compared to the classic!
    There is also an upgrade path to make it into a full rig for an extra $100 - 130 CAD depending if there is a sale or discounts. If you are on a budget just go to the scrap yard and get a preferably leather non power passenger seat (I recommend an Audi A4 $46 CAD or VW Jetta seat since the mounting bolts are even and flat and the seat also has up and down adjustment on the fly that most rigs don’t offer)
    I found this rig more sturdy than the ART and more adjustable/customizable than the Titan.

      I have the Apex ordered and should be here later this week. The way it is designed, I don’t see any way of adding on the seat. The Classic looks like it could be added but the Apex looks soldered off. Am I missing something?

      @@Dubstepconcept have to agree. Hence the $150 price tag. Or less on sale. All the other stands that are well built AND upgradable cost more, some significantly more.

    • @fittpatley
      @fittpatley Год назад +1

      @Dubstepconcept there's a video on thier website explaining the process. You get a base that extends for the seat then attach the seat.

    It seems like the ideal upgrade to go for. I have a wheel stand already but its a single aliminium post type stand, not particularly comfy, nor stable as it sways back and forth etc.

    Been sim racing for 6 months and i ordered this yesterday and i plan on update it with the char attachment and im planning to keep this and my g923 w acelith gt wheel mod for 2 to 3 years and then ill buy a proper rig and i think this is the perfect solution for my issue also i tend to stay outside of my country for months due to work .

    • @DigitRacingDG
      @DigitRacingDG  Год назад

      It will work, but I do recommend using the chair link, otherwise you'll have some movement while braking. But everything depends on the pedals, my V3s take a lot of force so a chair link is a must

    I am interested on the apex too for a csl dd 5nm. Id get a full rig but one its expensive and 2 space is limited...
    And cause of the 60kg loadcell brake. That thing is so stiff you cannot brake without lifting the whole pedal assembly off the floor 😅
