Great product. I am just getting into sim racing and if you are reading this, you already know the price range of all of the peripherals one this one is a great value. I can say that there is minimal flex and this seems very sturdy. I am 5 foot 10 and 240 pounds and it fits me very well.It took about an hour and a half to put together. The seat is very comfortable. My wife is 5 foot two and we had to put a pillow in the chair for her to use it although she was just checking it out and does not really race. The pedal plate can be adjusted by bolts, there is no lever that adjust them. The shifting plate also has some adjustments. It was super easy to set the video monitor. The positioning of the monitor is perfect. We found the directions very easy to follow and had no issues. Especially on the first half of the set up, there’s an advantage to not tightening the bolts all the way until you get closer to the end. I did feel that this was a little low to the ground and a little challenging for me to get out of. We built a platform. Used 2 x 12 x 6and some deck boards. It cost me $32 at Menards to build and took me an hour. if I had to do it over again I would use 2x8 or 2x10 and make that stand a little bit lighter. Read more
Fantastic product for the price. I assembled it in an hour and a half, and the instructions were perfect, and all the nuts and bolts were packaged according to the instructions. Read more
It arrived earlier than expected and was very well packaged. The individual pieces were powder coated, wrapped in plastic, and secured in styrofoam cut-outs inside the box. The monitor stand was packaged in its own box (inside the big box), which made sorting/assembly more manageable. Assembly was straightforward, all the holes lined up and everything fit together as they should. All bolts, washers, nuts, spacers, and etc were sealed in plastic and labeled. Most importantly, there were no missing parts. The integrated monitor mount provides consumers an option for a self-contained cockpit. It allowed me to tuck it away in the corner. I've been using it for a week and find it comfortable, sturdy and solid. For this price point, I'm impressed with the quality of the material, well thought out design and workmanship. It is very functional; far more sturdy/stable than I'd hope for. I would recommend this cockpit. Oh, it's heavy, probably upward of 40 pounds. Some of the design considerations worthy mentioning: 1. diameter of tubular frame is large and beefy enough 2. the metal brace on each side adds rigidity, allowing the different sections to work together as a single solid frame. 3. the seat reclines and slides. the wheel/shifter/pedals mounts are adjustable so one should be able to be comfortable in it. Overall, I am very impressed and satisfied with my purchase. Read more
The ARES WING Sim Rig is made of high quality materials and goes together fast (about and hour and a half by myself). Cushioning on the seat is comfortable for longer sessions and the adjustability was perfect for a short guy like me. I ran into a couple of tight pre-theaded holes in the base frame under the seat that took some effort to put together, other than that, instructions were clear and concise. I am using this right with a Logitech G29 wheel and pedals. Both the wheel mount and pedal board feature high levels of adjustability and proper mounting holes for most setups. I would however be wary of adding some higher force direct drive wheels to the mount without increasing the structural integrity. Overall, this rig provides great comfort, rigidity, and adjustability for the price. I can definitely recommend this to those who may not be looking to pay for an aluminum rig just yet. Read more
Seat is absolutely amazing for the cost! I used a larger TV so I had to modify the amount a little bit, but I didn’t have to drill any holes. If you follow the instructions where it specifically tells you not to over tighten or fully tighten the bolt, no drilling is needed. The seat is extremely comfortable, but definitely not for larger people. Steering wheel and pedal angle is perfect and both are extremely sturdy. My only complaint is that I wasn’t able to order two at the same time. Read more
Very solid cockpit. Instructions can be a bit weird to follow but overall not hard to put together. Spent maybe 2 hrs assembling and also the monitor mount comes with the brackets that attach to your monitor so you don’t have to buy anything else which was a nice plus. Very satisfied with build quality. Read more
I had this cockpit for a while now and i'm vey happy with my purchased it works very well with my moza simulator. Great quality and easy to put together. Read more
For the price this is 100% worth it. The whole thing arrived in one box in about 3 days. The instructions were easy to follow, but did take about an hour to get everything setup. It is very sturdy and the feet can be adjusted if there is any wobble. The whole thing feels pretty solid. The seat is a little uncomfortable so a small cushion helps a lot. I am 6'4 and don't even need to put the seat all the way back, plenty of room for us taller people. 10/10 would recommend for the price. Read more
