The RigMetal Basic Sim Racing Cockpit is strong, simple, and efficient. It is easy to assemble and looks great. This rig comes standard with the RigMetal Wheel Plate, and shifter/handbrake assembly. We believe this is the best build quality of any cockpit on the market at this price point, and far exceeds the strength and customizability of entry-level rigs. We also offer an upgrade kit for the Basic rig if you decide to upgrade at a later date.

Sold rig and nice components. Hard to beat for the price!

Great hardware and directions worked really well. Overall I'd say it's a great rig. If you're planning on adding a whole bunch of peripherals, save yourself the trouble and grab the monitor mount (I wish I did lol) to save some money on shipping. Personally I'd probably opt for the next level up if I were doing it again just to get a few extra4080 extrusions because the value is hard to beat.

Perfect entry into 8020!

Perfect entry into 8020! Plenty of extra componets to not only put together exactly as shown online but you have the flexibility to modify the original design to how you specifically want; kind of the beauty of 8020! Quality of profiles and mounting components are great, and with the price being what it is it is hard to justify spending more for a competitors kit, which in many comparable ones are lacking in regards to wheel base rigidity and the amounts of 120mm pieces. I recommend this to anyone looking to get into the hobby, anyone looking to dip their toes into 8020, or anyone who are just looking for a good value rig that you can grow into and modify as needs change!

11/10 for the money but..

My expectations were exceeded for the quality of rig you get for the $400 price point. (Looks amazing!) The online instructions are something to be desired and the lack of tools as well. However my biggest complaint was the missing 4040 extrusion end caps. I went ahead and ordered the 5 I was missing on Amazon. Other than these small complaints, I still don't regret my purchase, I even ordered the single monitor mount as well. A great product but some small things could use some work. But a great looking and rigid rig it is, there is 0 flex in this thing. I still would highly recommend this (they are also a US company!)

Solid rig

Solid rig for the price, handles my 18 nm simagic no problem. Very customizable. Only downside is it takes a good 6-8 hours to assemble even with power tools. Quite tedious but overall I’m happy with the purchase.

Just buy a rig from a real brand

you might think this is a good rig for the price. and it is. but compared to other brands like 6sigma and next level racing, it's awful. when you order be prepared to wait weeks for your order to even be shipped. when it arrives have fun taking 7 - 8 hours building it, and also make sure you have prior construction experience. it's impossible to build for the average person. the instructions are a joke. the stand the wheel goes on is awful. you cant use any monitor stands on this rig, you must buy their extremely over priced 150 dollar monitor stand that comes with 3 pieces of metal and a vesa mount. so just save yourself the time and stress and buy the 6sigma slim or literally any other rig.
