Marada Aluminum Profile Racing Simulator Cockpit with Seat, Unlimited Adjustment, Fit for Thrustmaster/Fanatec/Moza/Logitech G29 GPro,Sim Frame 8040, Not Include Steering Wheel,Pedals,Handbrake

Bought about month ago and couldn't be more impressed with the quality of this rig has features that are only found on some very high end unit.Pro: assemble was a breeze and very straight forward instructions was very easy to follow. The wheel mount is very stable. I use a 8nm fanatec CSL dd1 and have zero flex in any direction. Cloth is durable to say the least and comfort its not to bad have sat for a few hours at a time and not killed me.Con: The base main aluminum bars are separated(for shipping) and uses a plate on the top and bottom to hold them together not the strongest joint could flex if used with a motion setup. The seat is not the best, the base has no angle adjustment to set it to F1 or a GT# base angles. Zippers on the seat cover are not the greatest had to replace one of the sliders was easy fix. The Mechanical reclining mechanism is cheap and has started to flex when applying the break. Over all great budget buy if you buy on amazon days or blackfriday or if they go on sell about the cheapest profile rig you can buy with high end amidites.

This thing is solid, but relatively light (can slide it on carpet easy or add some wheel casters easy enough with this frame type). best deal in this price range, works great.2 drawbacks1. (Major) Construction.Instructions are severely lacking. Even if you can follow the pictures, the parts list and this parts specified are flat out wrong (mostly with the screws types and sizes). It appears this unit used to use different size screws, and at some point they went with using all the same size for everything (good idea), but never updated the instructions, so you have to have some mechanical intuition to understand this and work through it. Also, as others have pointed out, the seat assembly and attachment order is bad. If you do it their way you will end up having to hold the rig and chair upside down, in the air, and use your fourth and fifth arms to put screws in holes that are all but inaccessible at that point. I had to take some things back apart and figure out a better way to do it and was still a PITA, most people would probably still need another strong adult to help them through this part.Also, there are times when putting things like the pedal platform or the steering platform on that can be challenging because you are lining up 20 things at once while trying to get it at just the right height and angle where you want it.2. (Much less an issue compared to 1) The seat is decent but can get uncomfortable after long stretches, I imagine a butt pad will helpAll in all a solid product once put together right, but quite the time and stress to get there. I am very mechanically inclined and it was a challenge for me, took a few hours.Marada, please update your printed instructions, it doesn't take much and it would go a long way to boost your product, this is a big part of what is keeping it from getting 5 stars from me.Also for the fact that adjusting the position of ANYTHING on this rig once you set it is going to take serious time (so if different people of very different heights are playing/sharing it, you are not going to want this product).I get that lends to it's solidness, but I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to come up with some more realtime adjustableness to make this more appealing to others.

For the price, you can't beat it. Easy to assemble, took me about 3 hours solo, not rushing. Instructions are easy to follow. Plenty of fasteners for assembly, no worries about shortages.Once put together, it is solid, no flex, no wiggle. Mounting plate for your wheel has lots of predrilled holes, I'm assuming if you have a current wheel, you will have no issues mounting it. I have a Moza setup and easily mounted it.Lots of adjustability for wheel placement, pedal distance and angle. Seat slider give you at least 10" of travel, maybe more I didn't measure.Seat is comfortable, does recline to give you additional adjustability.Came packaged in 3 boxes for easier movement. All aluminum is packaged securely, with protective tape on all sides. It is all standard size, so any accessories for 20xx extrusion can be used.

Purchased for my older child as a Christmas gift in 2024. Assembly took longer and was more tedious than I expected, but it worked out well. Took my time, and I recommend you do to as for some parts it's not intuitive how or in which direction they are supposed to connect until you realize you've done it backwards. The instructions are OK but would be helpful if they included a few more angled views for some steps. Some of the rails are close to each other in length, which can make the early steps a bit confusing, so make sure you have a tape measure handy. The manufacturer's recommendation on tools needed is accurate. I would also recommend using a level. For some steps I found it to be handy to be certain things were aligned correctly. You don't want to get everything really tight until near the end, and the level helped ensure things were in the right place up until that final tightening process.Once the unit is fully assembled, it's very sturdy. My son is early 20's and has had this parked in front of his desk and monitors for a few months now. It has transformed his enjoyment of racing games, in a very positive way.Overall, I found this to be the best all-around value when shopping for entry-level racing sims. It's a huge plus that it comes with a seat, and it's all metal. I'd say my biggest complaint would be the fact instructions are not included for the seat! The trick is to partially disassemble the sliding mount mechanism that the seat is secured to, but I had to figure that out the hard way. I'd say that would be #1 improvement recommendation is improve the instructions. But, the product itself is very good. You get a lot for your money at this price point.
