Customer Reviews
No complaints on the rig. An abundant amount of fasteners and accessories were included. Some modifications on the angled brackets is needed to mount the seating rail but that’s easy work. Rig width might be a bit tight if bucket seat is too large
Terrible terrible to not have instructions and color stickered parts. The product itself is fantastic but this drops the ball on instructions even if it cost 200. To not have official instructions after this long isn’t just disappointing I genuinely wonder if there is anyone behind the construction of this other than a person who put this together out of OEM parts. I love it so much and hated assembling it just as much. If this is your flagship model you need to treat it as such

Awesome rig, fast/cheap shipping, clear instructions, and extra hardware - what more could one ask for? Paired it with the triple monitor stand and I’m stoked on my purchase.
Pretty straightforward to assemble, left with enough spare pieces to either modify the setup or attach something else.
Good quality, only two issues:
First, one of the 80mm gussets had paint covering up one hole out of 4. Not a big deal, just turned a drill bit through it with bare hands.
Second, probably more important, but also not really an issue - the universal plate does not match all the bottom holes on Moza R5 base - the width is correct, but the "depth" between holes doesn't match. Either requires some different plate (could mount the base to 8040 profile directly without base plate then) or just ignore it, R5 is relatively weak and I've been using it with two bolts only out of 4, no issues so far.
It is hard to include mount points for absolutely everything and I understand that cockpits are usually bought for stronger bases (I want to upgrade soon), so it's not really a minus either.
Instructions are lacking. If the parts had color coded stickers like they do in the instructions it would save a significant amount of time. Build quality seems great.
