Build Your Ultimate Sim Racing Setup

Putting together a sim racing rig can feel overwhelming — with hundreds of wheels, bases, cockpits, and pedals available, knowing what works together is half the battle. Apevie's Sim Rig Configurator takes the guesswork out of it. Browse every major component category, compare products side by side, and get real-time compatibility warnings when components from different ecosystems may need an adapter or simply won't work together.

Whether you're building your first entry-level cockpit or a full direct-drive rig with motion, our configurator covers everything: chassis, wheel base, steering wheel, pedals, motion platform, seat, and accessories. All products ship from Apevie Simulator with expert support at every step.

⚙️

All Major Categories Cockpits, direct drive wheel bases, steering wheels, load cell pedals, motion platforms — everything in one tool.

Sim Racing Setup Guide: What You Need to Know

Choosing a Sim Racing Wheel Base

The wheel base is the most critical component in any sim racing setup. Direct drive (DD) wheel bases — from Simucube, Fanatec, Moza Racing, Simagic, Asetek, and Cammus — connect the steering wheel directly to the motor shaft, delivering unmatched force feedback precision. Belt-drive bases are a budget-friendly alternative. Torque output ranges from 5 Nm for entry-level to over 25 Nm on professional-grade DD systems. Choose based on your driving style and the titles you sim in most.

Sim Racing Steering Wheels & Compatibility

Not all steering wheels work with all wheel bases. Fanatec uses a proprietary quick-release system — Fanatec wheels only fit Fanatec bases without an adapter. Simucube, Moza, Simagic, and most other direct drive brands use the standard 70 mm PCD bolt pattern, so most aftermarket sim racing wheels mount with a standard adapter plate. Our compatibility engine checks this automatically as you build. Always confirm the quick-release standard when mixing brands.

Sim Racing Pedals: Load Cell vs Potentiometer

Pedal quality has a dramatic effect on lap times and braking consistency. Entry-level pedals use potentiometers to measure travel distance, while performance-oriented pedals use load cell sensors to measure pressure — just like a real race car. Brands like Heusinkveld, Fanatec ClubSport, Moza CRP, and Simagic P-Series all offer load cell braking. A 3-pedal set with clutch is recommended for manual gearbox titles like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and Le Mans Ultimate.

Sim Racing Cockpits & Chassis

A rigid cockpit eliminates frame flex that wastes force feedback energy and degrades immersion. GT-style rigs suit most road and touring car racing, while formula-style frames offer an upright, open-wheel driving position. Look for aluminium extrusion profiles, adjustable pedal decks, and compatible mounting for button boxes, shifters, and handbrakes. Confirm that your rig is compatible with your chosen seat mounting standard before buying.

Motion Platforms for Sim Racing

Motion platforms add a physical dimension to sim racing — moving your cockpit in response to lateral G-force, acceleration, braking, and road surface. 2DOF platforms cover pitch and roll; 3DOF adds heave for kerb and bump reproduction; full 6DOF delivers yaw, surge, and sway for maximum immersion. Motion systems are software-compatible with most major sim titles via SimTools, SimFeedback, or manufacturer-specific motion software. Any wheel and pedal setup works with a motion platform.

Building a Complete Sim Rig on Any Budget

Entry-level sim rigs combining a belt-drive base, basic pedal set, and aluminium cockpit can be built from under €1,000. Mid-range builds — a 10–15 Nm direct drive base, load cell pedals, and a proper chassis — typically run €2,000–€4,000. High-end professional setups with Simucube Sport or high-torque Simagic bases, carbon steering wheels, Heusinkveld Ultimate pedals, and a motion platform can reach €10,000 and beyond. Apevie stocks and supports every tier.

Very well made machining is top notch and fitment is impeccable, great addition to my Delta SC and Simucube quick release combo. Super solid mount.

Thank you

Smooth and easy

Was shipped fast and safely. Arrived in great shape.

Awesome

This thing is hours on end fun!!! Running pedal hatics, hatic race seat and logitech pro wheel.
Smile ear to ear.

Great product, even better service

This cockpit is so well designed. Easily assembled, easily adjustable and really clean looking. Shipping and ordering were super easy and the staff at Apevie were very professional and responsive!

As advertised

Can't get sim delivered for months

Fast and awesome

Great experiences with apevie like always. Very impressed with the Active Pedal Pro.

WOW, High quality!

I thought I would be getting a typical 3D printed adapter, but no - this is ALUMINUM! nice surprise :-)

Oh, and perfect fit as well.
