A few have asked and made me realise I forgot to mention the dimensions.
The chassis is 53.5cm wide and approx 120cm long 👍
Do you need a seat slider to go front to back or is it pointless to have that part? Did you put one on yours?
Yes I already had my seat slider on, but there is probably enough adjustability without one 👍
Thanks, but how high is the chassis (without the monitor mounts)?
@@davecamm You gotta finish that in a cherry stain with Poly topcoat. 😉👍
I thought 53.5cm was too good to be true, the actual outside dimension is actually 75cm or 29.5 inches.
"I'm so excited, I've got wood". Lad!
He loved making his wood jokes 😂
i gues you have to be a certain age to get excited over it though ;)
I really like this rig. Definitely unique. Plus, you get to say things like 'I've got wood'. Seems like a win-win to me.
Please stop 😂😂😂
The biggest surprise for me was when I saw the price. Finally something respectable
New Ikea documentary "I've got wøød for Fæstenkårren" taking the racing community by storm
Dave, that rig is solid!! I watched the corners of the monitors and there was no movement!! Awesome looking rig!! Thanks for sharing!
Its like a sim rig from Ikea
Shush! They will make one and call it the "RaciiFastenRog"
The shaking will rip the wood from the bolt holes if it was from IKEA 😂
Unfortunately it's not priced like IKEA products
If it was like Ikea it would be complicated to build, cheap chipboard wood, and would age very poorly
@@seb-kun see my other comment, my point is in Australia I can buy an aluminium rig for the same price so this needs to be priced at IKEA level or there's no point offering it for sale in Australia
Great, comprehensive review! This rig will be on my short list when the time comes to upgrade my simple setup!
Nice video Dave, been looking forward to this. Very impressed by the overall build quality, it seems perfectly machined.
What a beautiful piece of furniture. Much more pleasing to the eye than a it's cold, metal counterpart. That rig looks like it will be super strong for years to come. Enjoy it, Dave!
Thanks for making this video Dave. This really helps with my next rig decisions
Can't wait to see this in action, it looks beautiful
My guy chose to build it from scratch for content, a true sacrifice
Great review Dave, your effort and sweat is appreciated!
I would have never believed a wood rig would be so rigid and Handel a direct drive. Absolutely love the design and look of the rig. My wife actually loves the look of it as well. Looks like a piece of high end hand made furniture. Thanks for the content Dave.
I use VR so dont need / own the screen stand, but the rig is brilliant! I have DD1 wheel and the welds cracked on my metal rig so upgrade was required… the RSR-21 was affordable and I got a seat from a Mazda RX8 local for £50 complete with its slider mechanism; and it is ace - absolutely solid. I have a buttkicker 2 fixed to the seat (bit tricky) and it is easy adjustable when the grandchildren want a go.
6 Months ago I bought a 2nd RSR-21 for flight sim rig . . . And it’s eco-friendly, and imho looks neat, the quality of the wood and machining is the best I’ve seen anywhere, I’m QA in the construction industry
So glad to have another video from you Dave! Been going through withdrawals.
Dave, after much thought and research, I've just placed an order for this complete rig. I am very excited. This video was a huge help. Wonderfully done! I'm in the states, so it may take a bit to arrive. Now I need a new seat!
That's awesome. I'm really happy with it some months on 👍
Absolutely brilliant! I wish I'd known of this rig before I bought what I have. Very nice video, mate. Cheers!
Dave, I just purchased and received the RSEAT S1, and had it shipped to the US. I like the look of it so much better than that wood rig. The quality of this RSEAT is top notch!! Thank you for all of your vids, I enjoy every single one of them!
Great video Dave! Rig looks fantastic 👍
The shaded cross brace under the wheel deck lines up neatly with the top of the skirting and everything looks rigid...pedals too...on the pedal shot the rig uprights and everything look solid. impressive.
Crazy, that's exactly the kind of Rig i'm looking for. Nice to see that they use standard tools and fixings. should make it really easy to fix and mod if needed.
This is truly awesome!
Loving the content Dave keep it up!
Nice to see that Dave is actually a real human being with legs and such :-))))
Keep up the good work Dave!
Amen
A couple of thought's on this video: Cheeky intro Dave, i like it. In regards the product, i am somewhat blown away with your findings. I didn't think it could be as solid as you found and the finish quality looks outstanding. I wish i'd seen this 4-5 months ago. I think i'd need one ready assembled though a smy mental state might not do well constructing it. That said, it looks like a normal person could do it easily due to the ease and precision of the joints. Lastly, hopefully Mrs. Cam doesn't see the big scratch on the floor. Fingers crossed! :)
I was so intrigued by this rig when I have seen your shots of the rig on your channel. After finally watching you build, then race on it, I am impressed. From the side, I saw no movement in my opinion. Even watching the closeup shot you are doing so we can watch and see if there is movement you want to say there is, but it's the car on the screen that's making the movement and kinda throws you off, lol. But otherwise, I saw nothing move on the rig itself. Impressed. I know it's probably a high-end wood, but this thing is quite pricey. So, no for me. But wish I could. Dave your content is getting to be better and better. I hope you start getting more subscribers and people following you. You deserve it, your demeanor and way of doing videos are top-notch. Keep up the great content my friend. LOVE your work.
Very cool you went this way rather than just another 8020 rig.
Wood?! Well that was a surprise! What a brilliant idea. If it's strong enough for houses and ships, a rig should be no problem. It must surely be better environmentally too?
As someone who has a wooden desk, keyboard, mouse and speakers, I think the rig looks great. I'd definitely buy one!
And, what a great video, Dave! Your insight and honesty with every detail is outstanding and appreciated. Very enjoyable, thanks!
Good job on the build and review
This rig is awesome! 🤘🏻🏁
Your channel is fast getting like Boosted Media...that by the way is a MASSIVE complement. You've a talent for this. Great vid! 👍
Great video Dave! Never seen anything like it, gotta get used to it, but it could well be genius!
Looks like I’ve found my next rig. Bloody sweet!!!
its like a work of art looks great Dave
Great vid Dave, I don’t think you are the only one with wood after watching this!
I hope you're well Dave? I am really glad you put this video up coz I am in the market for a rig at the moment but wanting something sturdy and most of the 8020 rigs are just too expensive. This seems very reasonably priced, and as it's going to be your rig going forward, you cant get better praise than that! :)
Good to see you back Dave, reminds me of the old wood models I did as a kid. Huge fan of using wood over the metal looks and the smell must be amazing. I'm scared to ask how much it was, looks like it's high quality.
Its about 600$ fully loaded, but without all of the extras its around 450$
Great design, and sustainable materials nice to see, good price from the looks of it as well
Painting one of these things black would be awesome. Very cool concept, thanks for sharing!
That looks awesome. The charm of wood I guess. Wondering though were the 49”” super ultra wide screen went. Seeing you went back to a triple setup.
On another note. Love watching your vids. Nice gentle approach on sim racing. The right way I suppose. Keep up the good work 👌🏻
Great video Dave !👍🏽
Nice job Dave! Put a lot of work into that vid! Fred called me tho, he wants his flintstones mobile back! 🤪
I wasn't sure about this even though I have a home made wooden rig, however after seeing your video I'm really impressed - amazed with the stability and rigidity.
Really interested to see whether you stick with this.
"Its the morning after the night before", Dave dropping knowledge here :D Looks great this rig. I am proper surprised actually!
Cracking rig and review. Shame they didn’t think about PC placement. Loads of dead space behind the front monitors to help save floor space.
Cool looking rig. My cats would think that we bought them a very intricate scratching post though. :) Keep up the great work Dave.
Looks really good quality, fine Job RSR boys.
Great review Dave! Looks really cool. Something like this might get my wife to stop complaining about my 80/20 rig :)
I've been waiting for this video, and it didn't disappoint! I want one! Hopefully you'll get an affiliate link for us 🤷🏻♂️
I think I would have bought this over my recently purchased Trak Racer rig purely for the ease of build and adjustability. Great video review and product.
Wow, that looks stunning, I like it.
That looks awesome !!
Impressive rig there Dave 👍
Stained and finished that thing would be a work of art. 😉👍
Wow ! Video grabbed my attention right off. Thank you, very interesting.
Brilliant review Dave, looks like it was a really enjoyable experience for you. Look forward to a follow up review once you’ve really put it through it’s paces. Now tell me, did you mean to have it facing that wall, or did you only realise when you’d mounted everything to it?!😂
Thanks for sharing this video. This does look nice, I am currently looking to replace my home made wood sim rig.
Pleasantly surprised at the price, was expecting it to be much more
Let’s not forget the environmental aspect. If I was looking for a new rig, I'd definitely go for this one. I hope more manufacturers will provide "a wooden option" in the future. Great review, thank you.
Wow this is cool! Thanks for sharing
Looks great tbh, solid and can be easily customised too... interesting! 👍🏼👍🏼
Dave, if you want to speed things up cut the allen key and insert into a cordless driver, being a carpenter it helps massively when assembling furniture.! Top Tip!!
I'll take that one, thanks Terry 😁
As an amateur boat builder, the prospect of being able to finish this with my own inlays and paint is a cool prospect. I have a 10 year old plywood sailing boat which has no problems other than the normal hull maintenance. I think some people underestimate how good of a material (and how expensive) plywood is.
Beautiful setup and very intelligent design...
some would say its hard for your wood to get up, but this video tells me otherwise haha, great video once again dave :)
This is really interesting for me. I work a lot with wood. Just finished a cabin build in the forest for my family. Wood can be really strong if done right so it should be as solid as metal(or even more solid). I would give this a burned look if I had made it😀
I'm in the market for a rig this year and this certainly is one I'll be considering now.
Me too in a couple of months time.
Dave's wood is rock solid. Congrats Dave :-)
All right............looks good, well done Dave.............now let's get back to racing.
I must say it looks easy to assemble and the configurability especially for the triples seems so much easier than my alu rig. Pricing is pretty good too.
This looks awesome. It's just too bad they weren't ready to ship internationally when this video went live. Lots of potential sales hanging in limbo, myself included. Great looking bit of kit, Dave.
very nice review, and killer wooden rig
Super awesome video and looks to be an amazing product. I think it would look really good if it was stained. Great job
It would even burn up the same way a real race car would do! So realistic :) I am just kidding ofc. I think this is a really nice solution for an affordable rig! Because of the flight sim integration, this would be perfect for me!
This is fantastic. I would rather have this over an aluminum chassis.
monitor adjustment is brilliant
New wood always smells nice :'D . On a serious note, im considering getting this.
After a moderately succesful foray into entry level train simulators, Brio sets the sim racing world alight with its new rig design.
Is there any hardware for train sims?
My had spends hours with Railworks 3 with his mouse and keyboard.
@@danut05 he’s talking about a toy train brand
Looks really nice and you could actually finish it with varnish or something if you like it darker ... or even paint it ... really nice!
Wow I seriously want one of these now. At my height of 6'7" I do worry about the height adjustability of the wheel deck though. I am currently using a custom made wood rig made from 2x4s, 1x4s and some MDF with a PT cruiser seat from a junkyard 😂. Seeing this rig has given me some ideas for improvement to my current setup, and it's surprising how similar the basic structure is to my custom setup
I ordered one of these specifically for seat deck adjustability. Adjusting anything on my profile rig is a challenge, but especially the seat deck, which is fixed flat. Sadly, I don't have the space for triples, but a 34" curved monitor does nicely.
Something else to add to my 'I want it' list...thanks Dave...I think....
You will got a thumb up for any video for different reasons:
First of all... I am 53 years old german and my last English lesson is a couple of years ago. But I understand nearly everything of your comentation, because you are speaking very clear...
Second: I guess you are at the same age as I am (nearly) - and you are doing your video in a way I really like.. I can't really explain, what it really is...
Third: With Mrs. Dave I 'meet' the first female virtual race driver and she races at the same level I do.... a YT, that isn't an alien :-)
So please take care of you both and remain healthy that I can enjoy your both content for many years :-)
Thank you Marc 😁
The light on the wall looks like a Jack-o'-lantern during the pedal plate flex test :)
amazing rig Dave you lucky bastard. I hope they get some NA distributors soon so i can buy one my self. Cheers m8
Love love this 👍🏾
Did I see a woodworm?😃 Nice rig, I prefer aluminium but this is also nice and seems easier to adjust.
Brilliant looking design. I love how the side arms articulate. May consider this as I have a sim rig in planning, currently I am mounting it to my desk which is also office for work, requires me to unmount my wheel every morning. The desk is also a former dinner table .. it's far from "Rock Solid", unlike how this rig looks.
Drink everytime Dave says "rock solid"
Love that rig good stuff got my sub.
Thank you 😁
Nice job!
this would fit great in my house actually, we have a whole wall and doors out of birch plywood. as well as libraries and our bed frame. wouldlove to see this in canada
For those wondering, it's 755 pounds (Dave does say this in his video) which is, at the current time, 840 Euro, just over 1000 USD, and 1500 New Zealand Dollars which puts this in the "surprisingly affordable" camp for something as substantial as this! Very impressed.
Yeah $1000 usd is retarded for this ugly shit. My sim lab gt1 evo and sim lab triple monitor stand were less even shipped. And black aluminum looks so much better.
Not quite sure what you're talking about...
It's €359 on the rsr website
It's 359 POUNDS, not euro. And that's only for the base. Dave's setup as per the video also added the Single Monitor Stand, Outer Monitor Stands, Overhead Monitor, Shifter Mount, and Keyboard and Mouse Mount, which are all seperate
@@viperion_nz my bad. I'm a little too american to understand anything other than USD. I will say that all of those are extras for the gt1 too.
Thanks dave ive only gone and bought one!
You'll love it 😁
Very good review and product, David. Only missing is more adjustability options on the triple monitor mounts, weak point of any setup (aluminum or wood).
There is plenty of adjustability in the mounts. 👍
@@davecamm Thanks for reply, Dave. I see x and z axis rotation, but as per the pictures I'm missing y axis (pitch/tilt).
Love the video. Love the look of the rig. Being wood, you can attach anything to it. Too bad that in the US, this rig, in the config you are showing, it is more than $800.00.
It’s great you can stain, poly or paint any color you want.
I'm sceptical about this staying rigid in the long term, but it is beautifully made and very attractively priced. Personally, I'd now be thinking about painting it. A couple of contrasting colours would be awesome... like those in the DC logo.
The thing is, ally profile is still infinitely more flexible, with lengths cut to order and a million fixings, hinges, linear bearings etc. Plus, try integrating a motion platform and a set of buttkickers with this.
On the upside, watching Dave build stuff makes me miss Auf Wiedersehen Pet ;-)
P.S. Plywood has always been layered up like this for strength, since before carbon fibre had even been dreamed of.
