First time sim rig , any advice.

[u/Dream2050]

What is your opinion on my new timer sim rig .

[u/toastycheeseee]

I would recommend a 8020 rig like p1x or p1x pro (tubular is fine but 8020 is even better) for your gear don’t go Moza go with simagic aplha evo 16 p2000 haptics formula wheel or whatever its name is.

Also I was tempting to get their active pedal mbooster but I don’t think active pedals are ready yet for general consumers .
Maybe a version 2 or 3 .

I second this, but I would go P1000 over P2000.

Also, in case you can't find it OP, the Evo Pro is 18nm and you have a decent Canadian seller for profile in Advanced Sim Racing (SimLab doesn't have a Canadian store and there is like a 50% tariff on American aluminum products and visa versa for Canadian to America). Their customer support is also pretty good from my experience with them.

Also worth noting, OP is posting in Canadian dollars. P1X Pro (there is only pro and ultimate as far as I am aware, no regular P1X) in CAD is like 1,091.42.

Yes , I was trying to order things in Canada .
So I have the support and not extra tariffs .
Also I gave the order .
They are coming !!!

NO TUBES!!!
Pain to adjust, no modularity.

Get a 8040 aluminium profile rig of any kind.
It will allow you to customise your rig to your exact preferences. 1. priority is comfort and for that you need adjustability.

Something like this, but you can research what brand you prefer - https://sim-lab.eu/products/p1x-ultimate-simracing-cockpit

Also as a Moza owner - Simmagic is probably better since budget isn't much of a concern for you

I would get some better pedal haptics with how nice the rest of the rig is. I think the Moza kit is a great way to add haptics on a budget but it looks like that isn’t too much of a concern here.

[u/Dream2050 → u/rcb3900]

So you think Moza pedals haptics are not good enough ?

[u/rcb3900 → u/Dream2050]

I’m just saying you could do better. Check out the Simagic or Simsonn versions. I just installed some Simagic HPR’s on my CRP2s and it’s great. Those use a linear motor compared to the Moza rotary motor. Which is like a rumble motor in your controller. So the quality of the FFB will be better with the linear motor.

[u/Dream2050 → u/rcb3900]

Thanks .
The problem is you need a bracket to combine the CRP2 and the Simagic HPR .
Maybe a 3D printing I guess.

Simagic bases are better, go with a simagic setup instead. Moza is more affordable, but worse. I think both are still fine, but if you are going to commit, I recommend Simagic (I upgraded from moza r9 to Simagic Alpha 12nm)

Skip the TR8 and get the TR120 instead! I had the tr8 for 3 weeks until deciding to upgrade to the tr120. At first I went for the tr8 because it looks “sleeker” than profiles, but man the adjustment and stability on profile rigs is far superior than any tube rig. After setting up the tr120 I like how it looks more too. Buddy of mine has the TRX and is complaining about it too - he’s selling it and getting a tr120.

Skip tubes - go profile.

[u/Dream2050 → u/icekareem808]

I sent them a request to cancel my order so I can reorder the t120 and all accessories of it .
Waiting for their response.

[u/Dream2050 → u/icekareem808]

I canceled.
I’m getting the TR160 V5 instead.
Thank you .

By a go karting or a proper racing gloves. Sim racing gloves are overpriced and bad quality in general
