I custom build these units and they work with most seating and wheels (some drilling may be necessary on the wheel mount for bolt on applications like some of the high end wheels). I will be posting a new unit with different colors soon. A lot of people didn't like the Blue and Red (GT signature colors). The next demo unit will be matte black and gloss red. I have it almost done and it looks good but it isn't ready to photograph yet.
My stand is the most unique and versatile unit our there. It has more adjustment than the most expensive cockpit designs while being able to store in any closet or corner out of the way. It is heavy enough to stay put under load and won't flex all over the place like other fold away units. Plus, it is has far more adjustment than any stand on the market, period.
I have already sold out of my first run of three and will be building some more if I get the orders. I am also working on a racing seat combo but with the added advantage to disconnect the seat from the wheel stand and use the seat as a gaming chair or extra seating. Basically, people can have a full blown cockpit setup and still be able to use their gaming space for things other than storing a racing cockpit.
The latest generation (just designed) is very similar but has improvements over the 2 designs in the post. I have basically melded the advantages of both the mk2 and mk3 into the MK4 design.
Take a look and try to see past the color scheme if it is undesirable to you. Changing the color is easy. In fact, I am going to offer custom colors for a premium and black only as the base model. So, if you love a sports team or your man cave is decked out in your favorite scheme, you can get a rig to match.
I haven't settled on a price yet but am looking to be in the $250 range plus s&h, for the base unit. Currently, they are all hand made so the build time and delivery is going to take a little longer than Amazon. Considering that most stands and even the most expensive cockpit designs lack the adjustability and versatility of my stand, it is a bargain at $250 (especially being hand made). Check out the most expensive cockpit designs and you will find they generally lack pedal rest angle adjustments and 3 axis wheel mount adjustments (fwd/ bwd, up/dwn, and tilt) w/o compromising range or one of the movements. They almost always have fixed angles for the pedal rest. The more you look at them, the more you will see they aren't as versatile. Then you can look at the cheaper systems out there and see they don't measure up even though they almost cost as much.
If you want, I will build one for you. Or, I can provide you with plans and hardware to build your own. I have a full set of detailed CAD drawings and can easily put together a hardware kit to provide all the parts necessary to build the unit. I haven't put together a kit yet or priced it out but if you are interested let me know.
Lastly, you are welcome to critique the design on the thread or make suggestions if you want. I can handle the criticism and I enjoy the feedback.
many thanks!
