Rig Metal Plus Sim Cockpit - Black

Short Answer: This product is outstanding quality and rigidity, even ignoring the incredible price point.

Longer Answer: The overall quality of the product is phenomenal. Metal and brackets are quality, hardware is good, everything feels like it was designed deliberately and not short changed. It is the best case scenario of materials very close to at-cost mixed with somebody who has done an excellent job of planning out a good design that blends all necessary features for a good rig. The adjustability is good, rigidity is great, and overall feel is perfect. Additionally, the strength of this version is impressive, even as somebody who is 200+ lbs and using heavy loadcell petals, I do not feel any flex. The instructions are not as bad as people insinuate in the reviews, although there will be some discovery process as you put it together. Taking it just as a sim rig, it definitely is a great product. Taking into account the price, it is completely unbeatable.

Overall, fantastic product, and the customer service is quite good too. I had an issue where USPS lost a package and RigMetal was quick to get a replacement sent out and the issue fixed. Overall would fully recommend to any considering a serious sim rig.

Bought this on recommendation from people online, and it is absolutely excellent. Incredibly strong with basically no flex, looks good very adjustable. It also shipped extremely quickly and arrived just as quickly. Buy this with confidence. My only gripe is the lack of any real instructions and how much of a project putting it together was.

Amazing quality for the price. I’ll be ordering a triple screen support soon.

Thank you!

I want to start off by saying this cockpit is fantastic for the price. The level of rigidity you get for the price is absolutely unmatched and I do not regret my purchase in the slightest. However if you are not so mechanically inclined this cockpit may not be the one for you for a couple reasons.

First, the instructions are pretty good but aren't perfect. You're mostly looking at pictures and piecing things together, as opposed to step by step instructions. There is also one part where the instructions calls for screws that are not provided. It is not hard to figure out which screws should be used instead, but again if someone is not used to building things like this it may be a trouble point.

Secondly this cockpit has more of a formula style seating position out the box. I had to lift my seat about 115mm with pieces of 4040 and seat sliders (purchased separately) and invert the pedal tray (feet or castors required) to get more of a GT style seating position. YMMV depending on your specific seat.

If you are inclined enough to deal with this cockpits quirks, I don't think there is a better deal out there. However if you do not feel comfortable with less than perfect instructions or possibly engineering your own solutions to problems, this cockpit is not for you.

The fit and finish are fantastic.
The price is right.
The assembly instructions could use more detail and photos. It’s intuitive after you assemble a few pieces and get used to the hardware. It took longer than anticipated, partly because I adjusted the seating and wheel positions several times for the perfect fit. Assembling on the floor is a pain in the ass, and I would highly recommend assembling on an elevated work bench or saw horses if you have them.
100% would buy again!
