I noticed that short drivers have the steering wheels on the Playseat way too close. I see arms almost in line with the driver's body. This is not how you drive in real life. Is this the farthest the wheel can get and still reach the pedal comfortably for guys that are 5"8" tall or shorter?

@ginopunsalan

This is true and a slight problem for shorter drivers for sure.  Myself included in that list.

@simracingtonight I see. My suspicion is valid then. I am now building my wheel/pedal frame to suit my size to a T. I am using a Boomchair Shark seat. It will be a separate seat & frame design. I'll post a video when I am done.

Post some pics in our forum to.  People really enjoy seeing the work in progress as it comes along.

Hey Darin one question I have about how you hard mounted the fanatec shifter to the VRC, did Thomas at Fanatec say by doing that It will go against your warranty because I've ordered a turbo s and I do wanna hard mount the shifters rather than use the chop sticks and great show many thanks If you can reply asap.

[simracingtonight]

@kizzagt You can use standard pieces of hardware, long bolts, etc to mount it using the holes in the shifter.. Another option is to try and get the shifter piece that comes with the Table clamp, or rennsport wheelstand and mount that to your VRC

[simracingtonight]

Well.. one of our collegeagues is still using it and it's fine.. It's not a lazy boy, but beats racing at a desk anyday.. Also, we are not trying to sell playseat.. Off all the rigs we've tried, it ranks third on my list.

Might have to do with your wieght ??

WHY CAN'T JESSICA LOPEZ HAVE HER OWN SHOW!

I think the here presented setups require considerable space. If you don't use your setup you can just stumple over it... IMHO this here is a smart idea for that problem... -->video: "selfmade playseat for GT5" or "F1 2010 on my playseat (SFS)"

LOL who doesn't hard mount their Fanatec wheel? I love my VRC. Its the most moddable of ANY chassis. I've mounted a complete suspension to mine, along with buttkicker, and soon a D-box. Its a great chassis. I don't get any of the "flex" or steering wheel movement they talked about. It's great for $250 and you can get two of the shifter mounts and use it for flight sims which I do. Also, if you use industrial strength velcro the center steering wheel mount is great for Steel Battalion.
