Gt omega prime

Final thoughts on the GT Omega Prime cockpit. This video is part 1 of a 2 part review series on the Prime cockpit.

So here we are. About 5 months late. I planned to write this review back in January, but a mix of pandemic, work-related, and family matters have resulted in some time-management issues. Nevertheless, we are now back on track. As the story goes, in late , I decided to check out some aluminum T-Slot-based sim racing rigs, as a replacement for my trusted tube frame chassis. While these steel tube frames were doing a fine job, and certainly looked good, it became apparent that they did not really suit my needs, as I am constantly testing gear and fiddling with custom hardware. Furthermore, I am also a user of the brilliant Next Level Racing V3 motion platform, and it has often proven to be a pain to implement when using an out-of-the-box pre-assembled sim racing chassis.

These t-nuts do not operate as smoothly as spring ball t-nuts used in standard 40 series profiles. Using 40 series profiles, gt omega prime. That said, both versions of the nuts are perfectly compatible with the profile.

This is where the T-Slot interest originated. Talking to some of my sim racing friends who already made the jump to custom build profile rigs, it more and more started to become clear that this was the way to go, if I wanted an easy way to adjust my racing rig to my likings and needs. After looking at several solutions, provided by a number of sim racing brands, a few made the selection.

As I stated before, it will not be better or worse than its competition. Visited 1, times, 1 visits today. On the lowest side of the review chart, I have even seen people loosen screws to convince their audience that there was flex in a review product, while then comparing it to their similar favorite or sponsored product. I am sure the same goes for most products on the market. You must be logged in to post a comment. Thrustmaster T Wheel Kit Review. You will notice that I decided not to use the feet, and instead mounted wheels. While most companies offer their own custom solutions, when it comes to wheel plates, steering mounts, and brackets, just about every product on the market can handle its purpose without a problem. Both entry-level budget cockpits were very nice products for their price, and I have had nothing but positive experiences with the company and its products as far as delivery and service were concerned. As with the wheel mount, the base pedal plate is pre-drilled to accommodate just about every pedal setup on the market, being both platform mounted and single mount pedals. The past few months I have looked at a number of T-Slot reviews that were trying to convince their audience that one random solution is way better than another. This allows the use of t-nuts that have a metal spring spot welded to the side. It seemed like a sturdy, cost effective choice to start my project.

All in all, a very solid product, that I can recommend to anyone on the hunt for an affordable T-Slot sim rig. I have seen people reporting having 60cm long cross-sections. The pedal plate is made of 3mm stamped steel. The best way to find out if something is good or bad is to test it yourself. It is then easy to set the angle and insert two more nuts to secure the wheel mount in place. No missing parts, good quality material, and the end result is uber-solid and has no flex whatsoever. Doing what I do, the rig needed to be fully mobile, so wheels were a must. I would have been pleased with any of them. The pedal tray seems to be a bit flexy. I have seen reviews criticizing the stiffness of the pedal plate. I planned to write this review back in January, but a mix of pandemic, work-related, and family matters have resulted in some time-management issues. The whole idea behind this build was to end up with a fully equipped racing simulator that was contained in a one-part easy to move chassis. As far as accessoires go, the GT Omega Prime comes with an adjustable pedal plate and a massive steel wheel deck. Again, due to the T-Slot system, you can effortlessly line out the included profiles to accommodate the placement of your preferred seat. Needless to say, the T-Slot system lets you adjust the exact placement of the cross-sections and uprights to your preferred setting.
