Leave any questions in the comments and I’ll get back to you! Thanks for watching 🔥
So helpful, I'm setting up my triples next week and been planning to make one of these, this is gonna be something to rewatch in a few weeks!
my only issue is that my wheel deck side pillars arent that tall, the height that my wheelbase is mounted at is literally at the very top, they're only 58cm heights, so I guess, Could I just lay the angled profile on the pillar, or get a spare bracket and screw it on the side lower down?
You could definitely do that or even just put the profile on the side of the pillar rather than on the front of it, and then just attach the boxes at more of an offset to the left to make up for the extra distance from your hands!
excellent instruction Alex, well explained !!
Thanks for watching mate!🙏
Wow this will be very helpful!!!
🙏
Great video love tutorials like this! Would love to see a video on how you attach your racing nets
Can definitely do that! I actually made my first nets my self so that might be a good one 🤔
Wow! This is very well made, i like it! Instructions is very useful.
Thank you for watching my friend! Hopefully the video helps you 🙏
Un lavoro magnifico amico mio!!! Congratulazioni!!!!!
🙏
Thanks for this link I love bro nice job
My pleasure mate best of luck with your build!
Nice video bro. Very good ideas
Thanks very much for watching bro🙏 hopefully it helps!
Thanks for video. I am now step of building these to my rig and luckily i have big cardboard box of my electric mountain bike what i was going to throw away but i think i use it for material for rig :)
Nice mate enjoy and best of luck with your build!
Top notch, Alex! I really dig the simplest of diy projects the most! 💪 But… is it fire proof?! 😂 I’ll rework my interior next year so I’m thankful for any input regarding this topic! Have a good week! 👋
Well there’s a fire extinguisher but it’s empty so if rig catches fire I am done for 😂 look I would say it’s fine as I’ve used the rig a fair bit this past year and I’ve never had any issues, just keep it clean of dust etc you don’t want too much build up.
The way I wrapped my button boxes is not ideal as it was my first time back then, I’ll have to redo them.
Apart from that the rig is very easy to keep clean of dust etc.
Like it great look 😎
Thanks bro hopefully it helps 🙏
Guide ? Mount pre bought button boxes and cover a carboard piece with alcantara tape boxes to fascia !
Yep that’s pretty much it! Very simple process👍
Great view Alex, really insightful and helpful. Just need video how to make the passage floor and attached the window nets etc. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for watching mate and yes I will get that one done some time in the future!
@@alexkayracingwhy are you deleting my messages don't think I saw that
@@Simlife101 sorry man I’m not deleting any messages? I’ve replied to all of your comments here I’m pretty sure…
@@alexkayracingmate I know you did. 3 times. I use delete detector which tells me the Owner of the channel deleted your message.
@@Simlife101 yeah not sure what you’re talking about man but I definitely wouldn’t delete a message especially if it was helping someone out, are you sure it’s not an issue on your end? RUclips hasn’t censored any of your comments either so I got no idea 🤷♀️
A 2X2 or 2X4 would be a lot cheaper but you would have to be able to cut the right sizes and angles.
Also relatively easy to move things around, just screw in to a different spot and maybe drill a hole, but not move multiple times.
Yeah that’s true mate you’d need to be wavy with saw etc (which is simple enough) both ways have their pros and cons! Thanks for watching 👍
Great video well done. How did you make the passenger side and did you make the safety nets?
Thanks for watching! Yes I made the passenger side it was really simple, those nets I’m using at the moment are custom made; but I was using nets I made myself before that.
I will make how to videos for both of these in the future 👍
I like the concept and the execution but, no way would I cover things in Alcantera as it is obiously a dust and hair magnet.
Yeah as you can clearly see in this video on the boxes 😂 to be fair though all you need is one of those lint rollers like I used in the video and it’s really easy to keep it clean, it’s just a daily process is all
@@alexkayracing Only noticed the "fluff" when you was showing us how. When you was driving it did not notice unless you cleaned it before hand 🤣
@@secret_one nah you can only notice it up close so in videos etc it never shows, I also have carbon fibre wrap which doesn’t attract dust but gives a bit of a shine on camera.
@@alexkayracing Well then alcantera is the correct product for your situation as shine is no good in a video.
the Alcantara is fine BUT the patchwork around the buttons is not.
Why would you attach with tape when there's mounting holes on the back of the button box that rests against a corner bracket?
Good question and thanks for watching.
1. If you try to match that top right hole up with the corner bracket then it will limit the lateral (lift-right) customisation as the channel for that hole is very small.
2. To be honest another way you could do it is place a corner bracket at the top and bottom of the bar. Then put the boxes on the bar and then push them firmly together with the corner brackets and then tighten (kind of like a vice) and then that would also be a good way to do it.
Hi buddy, first of all ty so much for this guide, i've been looking for something like that since long time but never found any on youtube so ty ❤
I have just a little question, can i do the exact same thing but with an GT-Omega triple screen STAND ?? cuz my rig is an OPLITE so it's not aluminium profil
Hey mate thanks for watching! Could you post a picture of your rig on our discord so I can see what you mean? Then we can try figure it out :) discord.gg/twSE9Hjj7f
What is better, the wheel base front the monitor or behind the monitor and use an extension to displace the wheel? Regards.
I would say behind the monitor using a long extension, I can’t really do that with my fanatec but maybe in the future!
Hi Alex just curious what angle do you have your side monitors at thank you
Hey mate thanks for watching, my monitors are at about 38-40 degrees on the inside angle
Moooola! Cooool! 😎😎
but my problem is I have a Shifter sequential, a Handbrake and a shifter H... and I have no space for a buttonbox like yours... I have put it behind all these stuff in vertical position, and its difficult to access to it 😅... I would post a pic to show you but I dont know how.
(sorry my englissshhhh)
Yeah I know is some people have this problem! You can maybe get some extra piece of profile and still have it vertically but make it closer to you! You can do anything with aluminium profile!
@@alexkayracing the sequential shifter and handbrake are a distance perfect for me.... if I brought them closer to me, it wouldn't be comfortable or realistic.
@@Dani_Jari sorry I meant you could put a small piece of profile sticking out so that you can attach the button box to that vertically to make it closer to you, it’s probably easier to show you 😂
I like mine to look clean and neat at all times i guess your application is for videos. Also it maybe cheap for materials but in total with button boxes you need my console cost a minimum of £400 to build with button boxes
You can make your own boxes cheaper, the whole point is you can save quite a lot doing it this way as opposed to using wood and building a structure.
My setup is clean most of the time but it can gather dust pretty quickly.
Only thing for my boxes is because they were my first ones I wrapped I didn’t know how to wrap them properly, in the future when I decide to re-wrap them I know how to make it look clean and smooth; for now there’s no need because you can’t see any of that in videos, only up close.
How did you attach the safety nets?
They are done with aluminium profile at the back of the rig, you can see how we built it here: ruclips.net/video/LsG2gjbgFKo/видео.htmlsi=eZjlNLVdO7PTDDcJ
Are there buttonboxes for xbox?
Those ones are PC only but I believe sim racing 4 U makes console compatible boxes
Unfortunately SimRacing4U do not do Xbox button boxes
They make a PS5 box but not Xbox have just checked
@@alexkayracingxbox require some sort of chip/software to be recognised on xbox PS don't. ❤
@@Simlife101 PS does also but Ariel from simracing 4 U isn’t able to get an XBox currently for testing
Which it’s your steering wheel
Which one brother I have a few
@@alexkayracing lamborigni gt3
@@alexkayracing the one is in this video
@@bryansuarez3203 that’s the Simedal X-GT
@@alexkayracing thanks bro
those button box outside wrapping looks terrible
That was my first version I made, I made it cleaner later on, process doesn’t change though👍
Looks very tacky.
You mean the alcantera on the boxes? Yeah just re-did it it looks smooth now
Cool!!!!!
Thanks for watching! 🙏
