RigMetal Basic Sim Racing Cockpit
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.

Customer Reviews
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! 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!
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.
Incredible value. Throw some caster wheel on it and there's no reason to buy any other cockpit unless you absolutely need a collapsible one. The assembly documents leave a bit to be desired as it seems like they are outdated for the basic trim at least, but it's enough. If you can do Legos and IKEA you can do this.
Really good quality. Instructions are on the website instead of in the box. That being said it does effect anything. Although the only complaint I haave/had is they send you 3 different bolt types all metric M8x1.25 but the heads are different. So far I've had no need for the Flatheads sent for any assembly but could of used more Socket head.
