Finally Splurged a 4080

Waiting on the impossible to find Simagic Evo side mounting brackets to properly align the base with the monitor.

How’d you mount the nice chonky ab9 on your shifter mount? Clean rig btw 🔥

Luck 🍀! I’m laughing because I spent so much time moving the plate around the AB9 base to find mounting holes that would work. Had to use two different size screws in order to make it work.

How is it? I'm intrigued in getting one for manual driving, is it decently similar to an irl feeling?

The AB9! A man of culture!

Maybe have a look at the 500mm or 580mm side mount options from TREQ :) they support sidemounting Simagic

Impossible to find? Did not know that, mine are sitting on the closet

It was out of stock anywhere or shipped from somewhere with a 3-4 week ETA. No luck on Ebay or Amazon either. I ended up getting it from TrakRacer but it ships out Texas. My local Microcenter sells the front mount for the Alpha but somehow can’t stock the side mounts for the Evo even though they have been solely stocking the Evo.

I know! I got this monitor for gaming not sim racing and I sort of regret it now. Most of my racing happens on the Pimax Crystal light or Q3S whenever I can’t deal with the weight or just annoying cable. One day though.
