hey man, i dont have one on order. but if you plan on showing off how something works, wouldnt it make sense that you could actually see a GLIMPSE of it in the video? you just referenced a pic from the guy whos selling them.

Yes it makes sense. But there was nobody awake who could deal with the camera. It was fixed on another chair behind my back.

And, you are wrong. Those are my pictures, made in my home.
Yes, I agree, they look similar.
Anyway, I will take few more pictures of assembled rig tonight.
I dont have much time because I can deal with it when my kids goes to bed.

Currently I am looking for a way to mount Eyefinity (3 monitors) setup on this thing.
 
OK the Buttkicker BKA300-4 has been changed to 240 Volt and is now set up and working. Croatia Post say 12 working days to Australia - Friday at the latest.........
 
 
not in mail Friday. If it does not come Monday expect unboxing photos and a review from a light fingered postal worker between Croatia and Australia!

Man thats funny !

Soo how many have you shipped so far !

I have started to save up and are waiting for a ISR review ! :)

quantity is not problem, problem is high quality and precision (many precision machined parts, a lot of curved pipes to be connected)
 
magicaldog
But you do have a factory Right !

You're not exactly making them in your living room! :crazy:

Yes, Rinoseat GTR is technically complex product (currently the most complex cockpit) and we use several specially designed CNC machines (+ CNC bend machine, CNC lathe, CNC mill, CNC drill ..., TIG welding, MIG welding, high quality powder coating, CNC tailor machine)



EDIT: one rinoseat contains over one hundred threads that we do, there are no nuts

You mean in that price range of course 💡

The Vision Racer looks kinda complex too ! (With a complex pricetag as well :))

Wow, the quantity you do these must be quite high, that doesn't sound very cheap :D

One question just out of curiosity... what would rinoseat cost if you'd do it in just ten pieces sets? :p (make 10pcs, sell, make 10pcs, sell... )

But I like the look and basically all of it.. good job 👍

i designed a several cnc machines for the production of rinoseat

1 cnc machine > 6 chinese manual workers (I have absolutely nothing against China and Chinese workers)
 
Stop asking him questions guys. Let him get on with it! :D

Seems people who paid in October are now getting there seats. I paid in late November so I must be quite low on the to do list.

I am predicting a February delivery date for me.

Renanto, you must have some good manufacturing sources, I am led to believe all those machines cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy so I assume you must be renting or something.

It seems like an awesome design engineering project and its part why I bought it being a recent CAD graduate - I have used some of the software and machines you seem to be.

I hope I will be involved in something as well designed as this in my career. :)
 
Well I'm back from my overseas work, glad to be home, not so glad that I have no Rinoseat. Unfortunately there was no internet where I was, and therefore I have not been able to "communicate" with Renato. :indiff:

As you are all well aware, I blew a gasket just before Christmas, as this was my present to my son before leaving for a month. No Rinoseat, forced me to the shopping centres to buy something else in its replacement. You can see in my postings of my frustration. :grumpy:

Looking back at thread and several other forums, I'm glad to see that some people have received their seats, but it does only appear to be Europeans thus far, and no overseas clients.

Yes Renato, your product does look the goods, as I always thought it would, and the reason as to why I purchased it. But this is ridiculous, 2 months on, and still not even posted. :banghead:

I really wish you were honest from the beginning instead of coming up with all these excuses and promises, and don't even dare tell me that you were. Then I could have, would have, had a better experience with your dealings. :scared:

One last thing to dwell on into the past before I move on is this quote from Gnomie on "Live for Speed" regarding the Rinoseat G25.

I know he's had loads of problems with Croatian customs. The entire batch of seats was lost in transport when I ordered mine, so there was a delay when I ordered mine (long time ago). Maybe he's trying to set up a better shipment arrangement before he starts selling the new seats..?

High quality products, but the company doesn't seem very reliable. It's amazing how many sim related companies fail miserably when it comes to customer relations..!

This excuse has been written into the history books it's that old. One year on and you couldn't sought it out!:odd:

Does anyone know if it is possible to draw all the cables from the wheel inside the tube on the Rinoseat GTR?

On my present GameRacer I do this and I have no problems with a lot of cables hanging all over the place cause you basically dont see them at all !

I still don't know who are you but i suppose.
The shippment has been sent before 16 days (including confirmation of sending on your email).
I do not understand why hiding your identity from me.

About the delay:
Sorry, soon will be much better.
This is just the beginning of production and sales.
btw ... we received several offers for distribution in US

Yes, it is possible (how big a hole would have to be on the tube under the wheel?).


Here are the pictures of the new shifter holder for the G25/G27 and the adapter for the Lightning SST http://www.sim-gear.com/794354.html

(everyone who ordered a G25 version, will get this)

There are three cables from the Fanatec GT3 RS wheel (2 Usb + 1 Power Supply) I guess a 15-20 mm diameter hole should do it !

The GameRacer Pro have square tubes with a center pole so there is plenty of room for cables !

Looks good !

On images of the Rinoseat GTR I think the wheel are pretty close to the pedals (Horizontally)!

From the top of my GameRacer Pro wheel rim to the top of my Fanatec CSP throttle pedal it is 650mm (measured horizontally)!

Is this within the adjustable range of the Rinoseat GTR ?

I'm 185 cm long !
