Best Xbox/PC Budget Rig

GTPlanet Featured Build

This build is for Xbox and PC drivers who want a direct drive wheel without a huge bill. The Logitech RS50 is a "direct drive" wheel base (the wheel is attached straight to the motor, with no gears or belts in between), and it works great on both PC and Xbox. It's paired with the Logitech PRO Racing Pedals, a nice upgrade over the pedals that come with Logitech's entry-level wheels, and they include a clutch.

Everything mounts in the Fanatec CSL Cockpit v1.5 and Seat Bundle, which gives you a solid, comfortable driving position and a platform you can build on later.

Logitech's track record for reliability is a big part of why we like this build. You can count on it to last a long time, and you can get the whole thing for just over $1,300.
