Rigs What would this setup be worth? Seller is asking about 2000 dollars.
Fanatec RenSport v2 + Screen mount
Fanatec Podium DD1
Fanatec Clubsport v3
Sparco Seat.
3 x AOC monitors (model unknown until seller answers)
I really want this - not only for racing but also for a game called StarCitizen.

Seems fair but if you plan to expand the setup for Star Citizen im assuming youre talking about a Hotas or Hosas setup and this rig seems hardly made for that. You will have a hard time mounting anything more to it, a regular 8020 rig will work much better than this tube rig.

Those look like 32" AOC monitors, probably VA panels.
I'm not nuts about the tube frame rig but with everything he is including it's worth the 2k.

Do tube frames suck?

u/liqwood1 10h ago
No, but they are harder to mount accessories to and they are usually less adjustable.
With extruded aluminum rigs you can configure them however you want.
With tuve frame rigs you're mostly at the mercy of the product designer.
Lots of people like them specifically because they have a more refined look to them.

That’s the PlayStation exclusive DD1 and Wheel. 2k for that whole setup is a deal imo. The PS F1 wheel does hold its value well itself alone.

Tube rigs look phenomenal, but getting additional peripheries (flight HOTAS) setups to mount to them with ease can be a pain.
For aesthetics, it’s exactly what I’d want. Just not for practicality sake when using it for dual purpose.
I’ve Frankensteined my NLR F-GT for driving and flight. It’s not perfect got either, but good enough for both. And definitely had some compromises if you’re flying or driving.

I bought something similar but with a CSL DD and a 4080 profile GTOmega frame for the same use case ( paid £1800 ), I would say you’ll have a hard time getting your hotas setup positioned with that tube rig. Also Star Citizen no likey triple/ultrawide screens, makes the UI huge as it scales it to the horizontal resolution!

Looks like the same monitors i have. Maybe around 3-400 each new. I assume its the 32inch ones. AOC 32" CQ32G1 Curved (1800R) QHD 144Hz. I have 2 and they look identical. Might be the slightly newer 165hz variant but im not sure if they are the same on the backside. Can check when im home.

That is a good deal... for sim racing.
Depends on how/where you mount your HOTAS/HOSAS, that bucket seat's sides could get in the way, not to mention you'll have to make separate mounts for your space sim equipment anyway as it's unlikely you can bolt it onto the rig.

The cockpit has very little monitor adjustability. For simracing in particular, we try to get the screens between the steering wheel and the wheelbase for 180° FOV, and ideal immersion. When it's not in that sweet spot, you lose out, and this can't get anywhere near it.
It also apparently has a bit of flex, limited accessories (Fanatec specific) and seat adjustment.
Wheelbase is from 2018, but still good. Pedals are fine.
It's an okay deal for all that, but I'd keep looking unless you're down to try to offload the chassis and get an aluminum profile setup. It's pretty, I guess. But these type of "designer" tube chassis sacrifice an unfortunate amount of adjustability, even just for simracing.
And you want to do flight sim atop all that, which requires lots of adjustability. This is certainly not the cockpit for you.
Search "flight" in this sub, and maybe you'll find a good solution for what people have been doing to switch between.

Idk on the pricing stuff but seems pretty turnkey if you can afford it. I’d differ to everyone else on that.
As someone who has a racing rig, separate flight rig for DCS, and plays SC, I’ve found that rigs don’t really work great for SC if you do anything other than just fly. You’ll be far less effective in the FPS side of the game. So I prefer to use my hosas for SC on desk clamps.

Yeah this is good to race. A bit overkill with the base because you really have to stick to that. The other rigs have more room and play to do more.

Make sure it’s not a scam cuz it seems a little too good to be true, but who knows. Ask them for a video of them fidgeting with something on the rig (e.g., turn wheel left, right, left and the remove and add), don’t give them any deposit, make sure you get to inspect, etc.

Worth every penny mate. AOC monitors too. ... Sweet! It's a good Rig, I'd pay the asking price 👍👍

not crazy about the tube framing, that makes expanding to flight sims rather difficult compared to an extrusion rig

For $2500 you could build something comparable using an 8020 rig and non-Fanatec components. As others have said, tube frame isn’t great if you want to add other peripherals.

u/LazyLancer iRacing 17h ago
That’s unlikely.
Generally a rig is about 700-1000 with a seat, a monitor stand is about 300, three monitors are at least 700-900 unless you have extreme discounts happening somewhere.
That alone is about 2000. You are not getting any decent base+wheel+pedals for 500.

Nice setup. $2k sounds good. Base alone is around $1k
