![]() You simply cut out the paper template and stick it on the wood, then simply cut on the dotted lines. The Ricmotech RS1 DIY cockpit plans and templates arrive to you full size in an oversize envelope. This revision of the Ricmotech RS1 DIY cockpit plans and templates includes the ability to build the racing cockpit in multiple sizes to accommodate almost any size driver and a revised 39-page B/W instruction manual with additional detailed drawings of each step, even more photographs detailing the various steps in the process and full size cutting templates for cutting out all the components. Remember, you don't really need the driver's seat from the car, the passenger seat will suffice. Most junkyards want top dollar for a matching pair of front seats, but when only a single seat is sellable, you can get a great bargain. The OEM seat is often a better choice because they are more comfortable, are upholstered with better breathing materials (cloth or leather), often have more adjustability, and are typically less expensive. You can purchase a racing seat for an authentic look or you can get an OEM automotive seat from a salvage yard. You will have to provide your own seat for the RS1. No permanent damage is done by dismantling the pedals and they can always be reassembled if they are later to be removed from the RS1. Note: The Logitech pedals will have to be disassembled in order to mount the pedals inverted. The inverted position is preferred over the factory arrangement because it mimics real street cars. Also, the RS1 is already set up to mount the Logitech pedals in an inverted arrangement. The RS1 is designed to be used with the Logitech G25 or G27 wheel, pedal and shifter set (available here). ![]() The RS1 has plenty of room underneath the platform to house surge suppressors, power supplies, even a tactile shaker (available here) and its amplifier. The latest revision now includes a template for adding a monitor support to the chassis which permits a TV or monitor to be mounted at eye level by using a wall mount bracket wall mount bracket (available here). The RS1 can be slid in front of a TV or the built-in monitor deck can support a monitor or flat-screen TV up to 40 inches. There is no climbing necessary as with other racing simulators. Also, the RS1 allows the driver to easily get in from the side like in a street car. The RS1 is a "2-post" design, meaning there are no supports between the driver's legs that can interfere with proper heel-toe driving. The RS1 is a simplified version of our Cheetah series of racing simulators, and is designed to be easy to build with common woodworking tools. The RS1 is a CAD designed sim-racing cockpit built from wood, but with the quality and design features of commercial rigs. Best of all, you can customize these Ricmotech RS1 plans with your own graphics and modify it to mount your own gear. Want to build your own RS1 driving cockpit?
