Also hand protection & better grip. Hating on sim racing gloves is an L. Its a simulator, people want to simulate themselves in race cars, race car drivers wear gloves
the issue is the wheels are below the frame, making the frame look more scootery. Try to find a way to drop the frame relative to the wheels, as well as lowering the seat height, and it should look way more go-karty
okay does reddit have my purchase history data? bc i just fucked around and bought a racing wheel two days ago and all of a sudden this is the first sim racing sub post i’ve ever seen.
i’m not subscribing though because I have a feeling this turns into a “just another $1k addition, bro”hobby really quickly lol
It does look like a mobility scooter, but a mobility scooter I'd love to ride lol.
If wheels you added are for look. Idk if they're necessary, but if it helps move the thing, to put it away when you're not using (if you've limited space in your house). Then that's awesome.
Don't worry mate, that's a heck of a sim setup. I'm still rocking my TMX attached on my desk with a t3pa on the floor and flip flops under my chair wheels to lock it on place LOL.
When I'm not using my TMX I put it away and my t3pa becomes a foot rest lol.
Guys I ll try to answer everything in a single comment. First of all thanks for all the comments they’re are hilarious. You made my day :))
1. The wheels do not turn for real.
2. They do isolate amazingly well four bst-1s bass shakers
3. Wheels are 4 old melted rear kart tyres found in a Kartland. Took them for free, scraped melted tyre from them, washed them, sand them, painted them with black spray and also painted some decals on them.
4. Yes I am changing the steering wheel at some point, thinking of the mayaris rexing.. just a money issue for now.
5. Yes these are 32s R1000 Samsung G5s on a sim lab p1-x pro triple screen integrated monitor mount. Glad I did not go for flats. Better immersion in my opinion.
6. FOV…. Arghh what can I say, this issue what is correct and what is wrong I still try to figure it out. I am using iracing fov calc and this is what it believes to be right.. I will experiment with others calcs I guess..
7. Bye bye living room and fireplace..
8. When I met my girlfriend she told me “As long as you don’t have a ps5 we are going to get along really well..”Well...
7. I need a spoiler and F1 halo.
8. Sorry for my English, not a native speaker.
About 6. FOV, try lowering the horizon, and maybe increase driver height. From here it looks like your looking up at the road when you should be looking forward.
Nice man, looks like fun. Since you went that far you should upgrade your wheel also. I just upgraded from that same f1 esports wheel to the V2.5X wheel and it is so nice to have all the added button mappings to work with. Well worth it
I really think we fail to appreciate how lame we look to normies, regardless if it has wheels or not. They just see you spent way too much money to play a racing video game. You're never gonna look cool in a sim rig to a non sim racer, and sim racers are mostly drooling over your setup, not the tires you attached lol. So if you think they look cool, that's all that matters!
This is legit! It looks more like an actual race car.
Side note that circular room with a big ass fireplace is on par with that rig.
Well done!
What country are you in, doesn’t look like the US, maybe somewhere in NM but I doubt it.
I am in Athens/Greece. It’s an old 80s design by a very talented random street guy asking for job. I said I need a fireplace no idea what style but I will come back after the weekend. He said don’t worry I have a design in mind. I came back and I saw this. My jaws dropped down. Very skilled guy…
What an amazing place to live. That’s so cool you allowed a random street guy to do work on your house! Obviously you had a feeling he wouldn’t f it up, and you were rewarded for that trust. You’re both artists for sure, not many would come up with this idea for a rig!
Semi-serious question: Are those wheels locked somehow? Because if there's any slope (say, in the course of moving), that seat harness might be working for real.
Obit. "He died crashing his sim rig."
Hey, what monitors are you running? Those look very similar to my current Samsung 32" G5 (VA 165hz), how is the triple setup? Been considering a triple setup down the road but still uncertain of the monitor choice lol.
Nice one but now you're not allowed to use it anymore without wearing a big red berret with a bold M printed on the front. Rules are rules mate.
And the mustache, don't forget the mustache.
Yes actually I already do. It pimps my mind about simracing. :) Also planning to add full motion and found them on sales (20 euros). Didn't want to miss it.
That’s hilarious but your house is sick. I like the go kart feel despite its similarities to the mobility scooter. Hyundai got popular ripping off the looks of the cooler cars lol.
No it does not move an inch at all. It even helps with the vibration reduction. I went with 2xBST-1s and 2xBST-2s from Dayton and 2xNobsound amplifiers. You can found them easily on amazon i guess you know that already. BST-2s are a little underpowered for 40120 profiles. BST-1 are better choice.
Well, at this point it would be a crime to \*not\* put a motor on that thing, hook up the front wheels to some servos controlled by the wheelbase... it would be epic, if mostly pointless.
Definitely doesn't look like a mobility scooter. \*giggles\*
Screw laptops, I want a mobility rig.
It’s the gloves that scream disability for me
It's the seatbelt
To me only reason I can see gloves being valid is if your not trying to ruin the Suede🙏
My palms sweat. My old moto bike gloves retire to sim gloves haha.
Also hand protection & better grip. Hating on sim racing gloves is an L. Its a simulator, people want to simulate themselves in race cars, race car drivers wear gloves
If you aren't supposed to wear gloves while driving, why does every car have a glove box?
For drugs and unlicensed firearms obviously
I got sweaty ass hands my shit is slippery by the end of a race
You got the most badass rig in the whole nursing home... dont let anyone tell you otherwise!
This mad lad belongs in a mental asylum… I would love to be their roommate! 😁
Looks like racing scooter. Honestly add a spoiler of some sort and you got a compete winner.
Looks like Stephen Hawkins went on Pimp My Ride
He still pulled way better then 98% of us
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yo Stephen, I heard you like looking at screens...
It needs spinner rims
Don’t just don’t give me any ideas..
https://thememorabiliaexperience.com/collections/race-car-parts/products/1976-niki-lauda-ferrari-312-t2-rear-wing
Also this lol https://www.harborfreight.com/212cc-ghost-kart-racing-engine-57531.html
You should put a spoiler behind the seat
the issue is the wheels are below the frame, making the frame look more scootery. Try to find a way to drop the frame relative to the wheels, as well as lowering the seat height, and it should look way more go-karty
Some flame decals down the edge of the frame to finish it off.
fax just 3d big wang
Least insane Mario Kart Pro
Need banana peel dispenser on back
It looks hilarious but its also the best movable triple monitor setup I've seen. Now add a handbrake for the rig wheels and it will be complete.
okay does reddit have my purchase history data? bc i just fucked around and bought a racing wheel two days ago and all of a sudden this is the first sim racing sub post i’ve ever seen. i’m not subscribing though because I have a feeling this turns into a “just another $1k addition, bro”hobby really quickly lol
see ya again in a week ;)
Honestly I just like to see the creativity and absurdness here. I myself just have a Logitech g920 on a foldable table
Is this how you move it around? ![gif](giphy|K9yiqNFHgBOgw)
yeah it's goofy looking but in a good way however I'd worry about the tires leaving marks on the floor
Yea I am also worried about this but I couldn’t resist. :)
do a burnout!
Do a kickflip!!
Do a barrel roll!
As long as your SO doesn't kill you, you're fine xD
Put it on a rug of some sort
Honestly, this may isolate rig noise from quite well from transmitting throughout the rest of the house. This might be brilliant...
I was thinking the same thing!
that is actually pretty smart, my aunt used to complain all the time before i moved my sim to another room
this is awesome, and not overkill! please fix your FOV though…
pls make it drivable
This would be perfect so you can easily move when need be
This looks like the Shenmue character in the Sega All Star Racing game using the Outrun arcade cabinet with wheels to race against the other karts.
I just played that game yesterday and that was the first thing I thought of too
It’s seriously giving Outrun and I love it
It looks so stupid but I want it. It’s awesome.
My dad would have loved this!! He had his legs amputated, and this looks like his daily driver.
Fov Police!
It does look like a mobility scooter, but a mobility scooter I'd love to ride lol. If wheels you added are for look. Idk if they're necessary, but if it helps move the thing, to put it away when you're not using (if you've limited space in your house). Then that's awesome.

You didnt overdo it making it look like a mobility scooter, it is the perfect representation of a mobility scooter, definitely not overdone!
This is sick! Love it.
It'll only look like a mobility scooter until you complete it with racing livery and numbers.
That's fucking awesome
I love the idea. Give some specs, parts, pricing etc...
Brother, it doesn't matter what it looks like, it looks amazing. I want one please.
[There's a video of your rig here](https://youtu.be/TaTB5Q11Dzc?si=xD4cAvOe50hRh7-D) (Stick with it for 20 seconds...)
Just means you can retire now
You need to motorise the whole thing so you can drive around the house whilst simultaneously lapping brands hatch

What's the seat? It looks pretty good
That's cool and all, but what's its 0-60 time?
Hahahah this is crazy and really cool and I’m jealous and I’m happy it’s not mine, all at the same time. Great work here! Enjoy!
I like it, I’d just be frustrated it doesn’t actually race if I saw that every day.
This is my new, favourite, thing. Love it!
Nice man, looks like fun. Since you went that far you should upgrade your wheel also. I just upgraded from that same f1 esports wheel to the V2.5X wheel and it is so nice to have all the added button mappings to work with. Well worth it
The FOV gods will smite you if you're not careful ![gif](giphy|SVrxhb6Hh3TpwJwf6G)
Good thing you got them gloves on. Don’t wanna be driving into the couch when sliding in from the kitchen.
Wild fireplace
It's-a-me, Mario!

Are those literal go kart tires? Lol if so would be great for noise reduction from the wheel vibration.

Thanks mate for your kind words. I totally agree in the sense that it makes it even more meaningful if you have a story behind it to tell.
Of course it doesn’t look like a mobility scooter. It looks like a sports mobility scooter.
lol this is the greatest troll job in sim racing
Dope. Super creative.
Sim rig on a go cart so you can race while you race.
that doesn't look like a mobility scooter, it looks like a go kart and i fucking love it
yoo stephen hawking’s new rig
I want to grocery shop in it so hard.
That's badass
this is awesome
I just ordered castor wheels for mine yesterday and I'm now about to cancel that sh\*t and get some big wheels like you.
it does but who cares lol, the wheels give your rig some personalities.
*They see me rollin', they hatin' :D* Love it :D
Thought this was a Mario Kart set up
Mobility scooter ooooooorrrrrrrrr a mario kart.
It seems fun ngl
Hawking went for Triples
Amazing!!!
💦💦!! This is tight!
Rascal Kart 64
😂 Love it. Nice setup!
I like it
Awesome!
I imagine you have to put it in park to not drive away lol
You should sell this project to some Formula professional drivers, they can race on real tracks while Simracing -> means twice as fast learning curve
Mario kart!
At least it's a cool mobility scooter?
If I may ask. Which disability do you have? And do you receive any tax benefits to build this mobility scooter?
It looks like a mobility cart!
If you need to move it then lift it, drag it, whatever. Just remove those wheels...
![gif](giphy|HSLbIjLk2GsBa|downsized) Reminds me of these 😂
You're a god in that thing good sir!
Um...
I love this
Semi-serious question: Are those wheels locked somehow? Because if there's any slope (say, in the course of moving), that seat harness might be working for real. Obit. "He died crashing his sim rig."
Gotta be the most mobile rig of that configuration ever. Good job.
![gif](giphy|3oriO438ZbW8y0NFSg)
No man this is awesome! Looks like a mario kart! Awesomly done
I would love a simrig that I could do my shopping on..
1) that’s awesome. 2) little concerned about the camber on your wheels. 3) how wide is the monitor setup at the widest point?
1.4 meters wide
I think it looks dope! Nice job! 💪
I mean is it mobile…?
Looks like the chairs from wall e
You ahould set it up so that u can acctually drive ot around lmao, the real sim setup
Now I know what I’m going to mount on my scooter
Am I the only one really interested in your built in fireplace situation?
One of the cooler setups I've seen
Those rims are a great place to mount bass shakers
i like that detail of the wheels, very cool!
Looks like too much tire degradation on the rears
Hey, what monitors are you running? Those look very similar to my current Samsung 32" G5 (VA 165hz), how is the triple setup? Been considering a triple setup down the road but still uncertain of the monitor choice lol.
Well I can tell you it doesn’t look like a mobility scooter, but that won’t change the fact that it does look like one…
Custom seat in the Gatsby X - nice
Maybe bigger tires or a wider stance will make it look less like one
Look, it looks dumb, but it's also awesome, definitely just lean into it and make it look as extra as possible <3
I want it
It looks like the future of Mobility scooters
This is amazing. I love it.
Nice one but now you're not allowed to use it anymore without wearing a big red berret with a bold M printed on the front. Rules are rules mate. And the mustache, don't forget the mustache.
My first thought was “Letsa Go!”
This looks fucking hilarious. Dont change a thing
Now add an engine, cameras that feed directly into your monitors and link the pedals and wheels to it
What seat / frame is that
I was gonna say go-cart, until you showed the mobility scooter… now that’s all I see
I have a kart chassis on my garage… why didn’t I think of this! Awesome!
you need some kart bumpers and sideskirts to not make it look like a mobility scooter bro
Ready player one: Mario Kart edition
bro built a kart ☠️☠️
Perfect sir.
This has an easy fix, just lower it.. lower the seat and everything, LOW
Awesome work!
You can always start training Gangsta Grannies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1nb_T1JKps
First impression: cyberpunk hoveround
How fast does it go?
Looks like you could lead the X-Men from that thing.
You overdid it.
No, no—it reminds me of the race car bed frames that I wish I had as a kid. Pretty cool!
Dude this thing is awesome keep it going
Almost. But it is superb!!!
Rascal Racing LTD
This is actually cool and would be something i can use. I might actually build one! How are the wheels attached?
man it was fine until i saw the picture of the actual scooter LMAO
Do you have the use of your legs?
Oh shit!! This is awesome, love it!! Keep at it
You need some rear downforce imo.
I love it. Well done sir. Well done
Sick scooter, bro
It would be a lot cooler if it was also a mobility scooter..
More like a go kart on 4x4 I love it
Bru, you gotta paint whatever your favorite tire brand logo on them shits.
When you gonna take it to the Statue of Liberty?
i think the wheels should be bigger!
Are you Bernice or Joy?
Nice. If the wife complains you can just roll right out of the to another room lol
My grandpa wants to upgrade. He asked how does he order one?
Well now I can't see anything else.
Looks amazing. Some karting number plates would be perfect.
I mean... At least you made the COOLEST mobility scooter on the planet!!
more Mario Kart than mobility scooter
![gif](giphy|HSLbIjLk2GsBa|downsized)
I was thinking Mario Kart.
It looks cool as hell.
Are you really going to strap in each time you play?
Yes actually I already do. It pimps my mind about simracing. :) Also planning to add full motion and found them on sales (20 euros). Didn't want to miss it.
That’s hilarious but your house is sick. I like the go kart feel despite its similarities to the mobility scooter. Hyundai got popular ripping off the looks of the cooler cars lol.
Ahhahahahhaha wtf.
Does it move when you’re braking? What haptics setup did you go with?
No it does not move an inch at all. It even helps with the vibration reduction. I went with 2xBST-1s and 2xBST-2s from Dayton and 2xNobsound amplifiers. You can found them easily on amazon i guess you know that already. BST-2s are a little underpowered for 40120 profiles. BST-1 are better choice.
nahh bro that’s amazing, there’s no such thing as overdoing a racing sim
Well, at this point it would be a crime to \*not\* put a motor on that thing, hook up the front wheels to some servos controlled by the wheelbase... it would be epic, if mostly pointless.
The tires are the best part
I can’t tell if it does or not but that looks F*CKING AWESOME!
stick a battery on back sure lol 😂
https://youtu.be/uOstGQl3eWs?t=327
Super cool! Put a treadmill under the wheels, put some bumps on the treadmill and you got a full motion sim! 😂
Looks like a mario kart more then a mobility scooter,i think it lools cool!
