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!
Love this rig. I don't see any reason why you would need anything more expensive. Just add-on as needed for features you want.
Great stuff at a reasonable price
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!)
