Rig Metal Plus Sim Cockpit - Black

$499.00

Color

This is our best value rig. it includes stronger wheel mounting, stronger gussets, wheel mounting plate, and a super rigid pedal mount.

The pictures show additional parts that are included over our base model (wheel and pedal mount components). In addition, there are some upgrades to some of the hardware.

Base dimensions: 58cm * 135cm
Height: 68cm

Note: There has been some slight changes to the design that are not updated in the product images. Most of the changes are shown in the manual, however, one item is not. The length of the shifter arm support is much shorter to address a more appropriate position. There are two sets of short 4040 pieces. Two pieces are used for the wheel mount and one piece is used for the shifter arm support (with one remaining). You can select the correct length for your use (longer arms on the pedal deck or longer length for higher shifter position). Please remember to refer back to this note after purchasing.

Amazing Value, very sturdy, and looks great

I've been using my Plus rig for about a month now and I absolutely love it! This thing is extremely sturdy and exactly what I was looking for. The black also looks really good with the whole thing assembled. Super sleek. It's not set up quite right for me yet, but there is a lot of room for adjustability and adding new components so I'm confident I'll be able to make it perfect over time with my own modifications. All in all it's a fantastic platform to start with.

Before, I was thinking I would try to make my own 8020 rig, but I don't think I could have saved any money doing that. Especially considering the time I would have put into design, sourcing parts, and cutting all the pieces myself.

That said, the instructions are dismal. They weren't current to the version I got which made things quite confusing. In the end I was able to get everything together, but boy was it a hassle. If you are someone who complains about putting together Ikea furniture, beware. I totally understand RigMetal's position on this though. Making good instructions takes time and I appreciate that they're focused on improving the design and altering the instructions for each design change is a hassle (I've had to do this for my own work in the past, it's not easy). If this rig was priced more like ones from larger sim racing companies I would be more peeved, but it isn't. The value for money here is still great despite my frustrations.

Only other issue was the packaging. The parts arrived in what looked like previously used cardboard boxes that had been torn open. Thankfully I don't think any parts were lost or damaged in transit, but it very easily could have happened. These parts are heavy all together, so sturdier packaging is needed.

In all I'm really happy with my purchase. Thanks, RigMetal!

Overall Pretty Happy

None of the bags of hardware or lengths of aluminum were labeled, which was a bit annoying, and I had to get a bit creative to install both the pedal extensions and the shifter mount with the pieces available.
I've seen other reviews mention that the instructions aren't great, and they're right. It's good enough to get you through, but not without a bit of frustration.
Hopefully the business does well enough that they can afford to hire a good technical writer to improve the instruction manual.

Despite these complaints, I'm pleased with the product, and would recommend it to anyone who has a day or so to muddle through the assembly.

I could not be happier with this product. I would recommend this to anyone
who is thinking of purchasing a Rig from Rig Metal

Nice

Great purchase, highest quality

Sometimes instructions were confusing but you can just do your own thing and customize the rig. In terms of quality, there is no flex at all. Would highly recommend.
